I follow periodized training cycles. (If you are unfamiliar with peridization, it's a series of training protocols for specific goals - cutting, hypertrophy, strength, etc.) I would like to compete in my first bodybuilding contest this summer, probably June. That gives me about four and a half to five and a half months. I've let my bf% slip and am currently about 16.5-17% blubber. I've never worked specifically to shed fat, and of course I wish to maintain as much muscle and strength as possible. I will be taking in about 2g protein/kg body weight while progressively increasing caloric debt. Of course I'll up my cardio.
What type of weight training protocol(s), and in what order, should I follow? I do not want to struggle too much to lose fat when time runs out. On the other hand, I do not want to waste the mass I have built up.
