Feeling deflated, slight loss of strength on cut..

[mchief101]

currently 20 weeks out, cruising on 200mg/week test E then blast 12 weeks out.

however i have been dieting for my upcoming competition and i feel deflated,smaller and have a slight loss of strength (example: 60 lb shoulder press would feel heavier than usual). i weigh 198 lbs right now, at 5'8.

current macros: 250/230/60 PCF with cardio 3-4 times per week, LISS 30-40 mins. current cals 2453. was doing PHAT routine, thinking about changing it to MAX OT

i was wondering what i can change about this, wondering if to bump my carbs up? i feel like i am losing muscle to be honest. Any tips and advice would greatly be appreciated.

whenever you start cutting calories and weight you should expect some drop off in strength. always happens to me unless i'm taking some tren.

you are cutting calories and on a cruise... I would expect to feel the way you do.
