Weight loss and keep mass.

Options
Anyone have any tips on keeping muscle while losing weight. Anytime I've lost weight it was for wrestling, so I would lose a lot of muscle and strength when I was 15 pounds under weight. I reached my bench max for the year with 350 and I don't mind losing some weight on that but if I could keep it while losing weight that be great.

Just looking for tips on how to keep my strength while losing 20 pounds

    - Eat 1g protein / lb lean body mass.
    - Reduce calories to lose 1-2 lbs / week.
