Keep gains from bulking while cutting

[TKisBUFF]

I just bulked to 190, and I plan on cutting 20 lbs soon. I made great gains while bulking, and want to know is there anyway I can maintain these gains or am I screwed. Last time I tried to cut, I lost a lotta weight, but also got a lot weaker. It was kinda of a wash in the end. Any advice?

The only way I have lost fat and gained muscle simaltanously was thru carb cycling. Forget the contemporary "cutting" cycle and look up carb cycling.

I went from 232 to 207 in less than 3-4 months and I didnt lose a drop of muscle or strength along the way. I cant say for certain if I actually gained muscle, but I sure in fact did not lose any and I appeared to get bigger, but getting cut does that too
I have been a firm believer of Carb Cycling ever since...Thanks to Boyd Meyers!

Here's what I had done a few months back

232 lbs - April 28th 2007



215 lbs - June 25th 2007

did u keep the weight off? or is the carb cycling diet meant to be more of a quick cut down for summer
