Cutting Phase
In order to shed fat, Iamvin is now following a calorie deficit diet and cardio routine. He is still incorporating weight lifting but has adjusted his exercises to target fat loss.

He recommends finding a supportive community, setting realistic goals, and constantly reevaluating and adjusting one's routine. He also reminds others to be patient and not compare themselves to others' progress.
