When I tried that I got sick enough to land in hospital the 1st time.. back in 2007 I also got sick with shingles (Herpes zoster).
It's not a matter of choice, it's the only way that works. Don't think I was happy being 72+kg all the time since age 21, it's not a choice to go slow and just be cutting at a pace of 5-10% max.

Anyways.. I've been infected enough by both bodybuilders to want to look good nekkid as well as by actual athletes (used to be into endurance cycling and now hope to move into Oly lifting) to want to be as strong as possible per kg BW and not carry too much excess wt. Even without the medical background, it would have needed to go slow as molasses anyway.

There's 1 thing I forgot .. I can't be building LBM when bf% is still too high. P-ratio would be too unfavourable, which is exactly true since I went on an accidental bulk after the shingles incident and had a ratio of 1:1 fat:LBM gain.
