Hoping to cut into single digits but not getting on stage just want those serratus to show all day! Active but limited intense cardio.

Opinions plz!

Is this everyday? I would start by limiting carbs to pre and post workout and to drop it to 30g or less on off days.

And do what with the fats & protein on those days?

Here is a very good place to start. This is a general outline by Shelby Starnes. I have followed it with excellent results.

And how many low days a week would you do?

That depends on your goals and training. While cutting I would do no more than 2 high carb days preferably on your heaviest workout days and low to moderate carb days for the remaining 5. While bulking, you can get by with doing 4 to 5 high carb days with only 2 or 3 low to moderate carb days.

Cutting till I can see serratus coming from under lats. Any ballpark of what bf% that would be. I'm shooting for 8-9.
