New workout idea

Yea, the Jones...fuck them. haha. I am just dying to get down right now. I think that has helped a lot. I'm nervous about losing muscle mass, but at the same time I'm thinking how nice it would be to be lean.

A lot of my friends are lean at 150-160lbs. It doesn't look good to me. Its basically bone. They can't lift for shit, all they do is cardio 5 days a week, and than after 30-45min of cardio, they expect themselves to lift like an animal.

Like when it comes to the summer time, i sorta get jealous to see a bunch of ripped guys at the beach, but than again i thnk to myself and say, 3/4 of pep can't lift for shit.

Well, here's my opinion. This is just how I see things so don't get offended or anything, I'm not trying to tell you your "wrong" or say that you're "dumb" or anything.

If your eventual goal is to be a cut 230, I would continue to bulk. Unless you're trying to compete or model or something in the near future, I would take adavantage of the natural testosterone you have and stay in mass gaining mode for awhile. Don't get too fat, but at your age I would be gaining mass and not worrying about stuff like water weight for right now. The more muscle you have the more fat your body burns so it makes sense to gain muscle first, then worry about fat. With your stats I wouldn't be trying to get cut without losing muscle, I'd be trying to gain muscle without losing fat. It sounds like you have good genetics for gaining muscle so you shouldn't have to wait long before you start cutting.

No man, i am not offended by your post. There is a lot of logic behind it. thanks for your advice.
