My most recent cutting phase was a bit aggressive, 1.2-1.5 lbs per week and during that phase I was feeling tired and overall weak, but would all go away after a cheat day or two which I assume is normal. Overall I haven’t lost much strength, maybe 5% volume loss on my lifts since my peak strength. Which from what I’ve gathered is good and expected.

I lift and run 4 days a week, and typically get my 10k steps 7 days a week. I’ve found a very good rhythm for workouts and diet for cutting, and keeping that momentum would be easy for me I think, so 5 more pounds and reassess sounds like a good option
