Introduction

Meet Reddit user Caladath, who is 28 years old, 6 feet tall, and currently weighs 175 pounds with a body fat percentage of around 16%. He is on a mission to improve his overall fitness and reach a body fat percentage of 10% while achieving intermediate level strength training.

Current Strategy and Goals

Caladath has been cutting for a couple of weeks, but is unsure if he should continue cutting until he reaches a lower body fat percentage or if he should focus on building strength first and then cut later. His ultimate goal is to reach 10% body fat, but he also wants to achieve intermediate level lifting according to http://www.strstd.com/.

Advice from Commenters

Commenters advised Caladath to focus on bulking and building strength first before worrying about cutting. They suggested keeping his diet healthy during the bulking phase and getting his numbers up before beginning a cut. This is a common approach in the fitness community, as building muscle can help increase metabolism and make the cutting phase more effective.

Takeaways for Readers

If you are on a weight loss journey like Caladath, it's important to have a clear goal in mind and a plan of action to achieve it. Building strength and muscle before cutting can be an effective strategy for many, but it's important to find what works for your body and your goals. Seeking advice and support from the fitness community, whether online or in person, can also be a helpful tool to stay motivated and accountable.
