41 year-old Skinny-fat guy is back

I've got three weeks remaining. I was worried about cutting so low, going from 163lbs to my goal of 135lbs at 5'10".  At this rate it looks like I'll hit 138lbs. 

When I started the cut I moved from powerlifting to the 5-day Bodybuilding routine.

I'm sticking to a strict diet and getting my daily protein.

I've actually made steady strength gains while dropping the weight.

My wife says I'm starting to look like Bart's dog Santa's Little Helper, what do you think?

My shirtless event is March 31. I can't wait to get off this cut.

Hey @HappyFitFun! You are looking great man, really lean! I'm sure Santa's Little Helper would be jealous of all your gains man 😁

Honestly you are probably lean enough to basically maintain now, doesn't look like you have much more fat to lose. If you keep dropping from here, it might end up being more muscle than anything - I'd say you are already at a single digit body fat percentage.

At the end of the day, it's up to you. Just my thoughts!

19 days left! I'm sticking to my guns.

And I can still pinch about 19mm with a caliper on my abdomen (1" to side of belly button). I'm not dangerously low on BF% yet.

I'm just goign to stay the course for 19 day, work out hard, and keep up the diet.

Then I will plan on how to best lean bulk back up.

Thanks for the advice! Talk to you soon!

OK man it's up to you! You'll be super shredded by the time your event comes around! 🏋
