Help on cutting down.

[blackmamba]

Hey guys im 18 years, 5'7 with and 170 lbs. I have been bulking for a few months now and want to start cutting down. What do you think will be the best for getting cuts yet maintaining my 15" arms? (dont want them too big for a guy my size Lol).
Up until now i was doing 3 sets of 6 reps and 1 set of 4 reps. Do you think 5 sets of 10 reps is good? or maybe 4 sets of 12? and also how heavy should I lift? about 75% of my max or what? thanks a lot guys.

What does your current diet look like? Give us a daily meal by meal breakdown. Also a more detailed look at your current training program. Exercises, sets, and reps.

Cleaning up your diet and training hard and heavy will probably be your best bet. With you current stats I doubt you carry a lot of LBM so doing anything drastic(starvation, too much cardio) will probably hurt more than help. You can continue to add LBM while getting more conditioned if your diet and training are set. You can't flex bone.
