    I've been doing a variation of Starting Strength (GSLP) for the past year and I'm pretty happy with how my lifts are progressing.

    Squat: 140KG 2x5, 1x7
    Bench: 87.5KG 2x5, 1x7
    Press: 67.5KG 2x5, 1x5
    Deadlift 170KG 1x6

    I'm 5 9" 94KG and 20% bodyfat. I eat pretty clean, around 3500 calories per day. I've cut to 15% before but my lifts suffered a lot. I'd like to get to 12% bf. Any ideas on how I might do this without losing strength or is it inevitable?

    Mass moves mass. Dropping a significant amount of weight is going to effect your strength levels.

    It can be done without too much impact tho by just dialling things back gradually and being patient.
