Col,
I hear you bro, I've been yo yo-ing my bodyweight down for a while now and its getting there slowly, but final year of uni is slowing things down. The bottom line....you need to work hard and put some effort in. My sincere advice to you is to get to fat loss NOW.
I embarked on it purely because it was impeding my performance, causing injury and ultimately keeping in me in the dreaded ranks of mediocrity. If you make a concerted effort to shed some fat, it WILL improve your performance, as you yourself pointed out. The psychological high alone will get any resulting strength losses/deficits back up in no time (as well as recuping strength via muscle/cns memory).
You're getting too hung up on not slowing your PR momentum, I don't think it will, all you need to do is add in more low intensity cardio, very mild calisthenic , empty light bar movements, nothing taxing, but twice a day on non training days (empty stomach, regardless of the negteives it won't be too muscle wasting) and just before bed for up to 30 mins. It is very easy, and shouldn't impair your fast twitch development too much, if you think it does, then remind yourself of the bigger picture.
Do this for a month and you should be at least under 210, provided your diet isn't too shabby (as much protein as you can afford and so much water that you gf refers to you as Henry Pissinger)
I don't mean to criticise but you've been on 'Get Lean' for several months and you're currently at your heaviest bw with, by your own admission a not so lean physique.
