Yo roiders
I'm natty, looking for advice on my current predicament.
I'm 19 years old, 147 lbs, 5'6", been training for 1 year.
3 months ago, I started a cut. I went from eating 2500-3000 kcals to eating 1200kcals overnight. I lost 30 pounds.
2 months into the cut, I started rapidly losing my strength. Come to today, where I want to gain my strength back that I just lost.
I've already tried to eat maintenance calories (2236 kcal) and with some issues along the way this has given me much of my strength back.
However,
Every time I've increased my calories, my strength goes up a certain amount for a whole week. Maintaining these calories, it then goes down gradually. For example,
The first time I upped my calories, I upped them to 1800 kcals. My numbers instantly went up, but then started decreasing.
Second time, I upped them to 2100 kcals. My numbers went even higher, but then started decreasing.
Third time, (my current attempt), I'm upping them to 2236-2300 kcals. Don't know the results of this yet.
My plan is to get my strength back to where it was when I was 2 months into my cut without gaining fat. Then, I wanna cut in a smart way to get down to 130 lbs.
I want some pointers on how to smartly cut after this whole losing strength fiasco.
Thanks!
Also, I attached a pic of my current physique for the lols.
