first you need to find out your neccesary daily calorie intake to maintain your weight.  lift the same as you did when you were bulking so you won't lose those hard earned strength gains.  Then eat about 300 cals less than your maintain weight calorie level.  If you are lifting hard.. cutting will be easier because you will be burning more cals a day.  So you could cut out a drink here and there or a small sandwich each day and you would lose a pound about every 12 days.. if you wanted to lose faster go for 500 cals less than target.  That is a pound every 7 days. But don't go lower than 500 or else you are endangering losing some strength.  oh yeah and weightlifting will not stunt your growth.  It may be bad for the joints if done incorrectly but other than that it's a great way to stay in shape.

stud4life- 6% bodyfat is unhealthy.. 7% is the bare minimal gain a couple pounds and get to about 8 or 9%.. if you don't like how your abs will look do more ab workouts.

update?

changing the subject a little, how can i get my lower abs HUGE !!! well abs in general.

Im also waiting to see what 8pack has to say :P

but for your lower abs, there is another pinned topic with some great ideas

I think 8 pak forgot about us, the people the "fat people" who want to know how to get cut

It's common sense

-6  small meals
-Weightlift as if bulking, do short term high intensity cardio when possible
-50% carbs/30% protein/20% fat or something along those lines.
-end up with 500 less calories than you burn everyday
-Clean proteins, complex carbs, vegetables, avoid sugar and processed foods, eat healthy fats (See danmirages post in the Online Training Journals for great detail about diet)
-Make a plan and stick to it, use fitday.com to track progress and know how you're doing with the diet side.

Why should we lisen to you, youre not an 8 pak youre a sunset on a beach JK. Yeah i guess youre right about that No Quarter.

I like doing incline weighted sit ups, but there are LOTS of ab exercises.
