You could recomp, which means eating at maintenance and lifting weights so you can burn fat and build muscle. It is a slower way to build muscle, because you don't have as much energy going toward that process, but then you avoid the cutting process.0

if you're going to do bulk and cut cycles, that comes with the territory...
otherwise, find your happy medium. i'm pretty much at my best when I'm sitting around 180 and 12% BF...it's easily maintainable, doesn't mess with my hormones, allows me to be relatively effective in both the weight room and on my bike, and I look good in both clothes and naked. as i continue to workout, my body continues to improve aesthetically over the months and years.0
