Hey guys and gals,

So here it is, I'm 18 years old (and i know what you older guys are thinking "Oh not again some punk kid wanting to get big lalala) But i promise you i'm not one of those fratboys you see wondering around the gym. I've been lifting about 3 years and have put on a good amount of weight.

I love doing the low reps usually I go for 6 reps on most of my muscle groups and managed to get pretty far. For example a few months ago when it came to chest i was doing sets of 100kg Benchpress (225 for you Americans thinking in poundage) for 6 reps, 4 sets.

Then i descided i wanted to cut, as i've always just been bulk! I'm 6ft1" and was about 92kg, with this cut i've reached 87kg but it's come with a big loss...

Today i did chest, and could manage about 90kg for 6reps, 4sets.

Strength! It's gone, it's packed its bags and left. I'm fairly sure i havent lost much size, but with alot of the fat going, it's taken strength with it. And frankly, it's breaking my heart aha.

I'd love to hear some of your guys advise, as this is the first proper cut i've ever done. So please help a young lifter out!

Thanks, Shaney.
