Cutting
Unlike weight loss techniques, cutting does not have a particular Goal weight or Start weight, and is more focused on body fat percentage and general aesthetics.
This is done by reducing the levels of fat storage on your body at the best ratio between fat loss and muscle loss.
This subreddit will focus on different cutting techniques, impressive macro-recipes, progress pics and ways to retain motivation during the cut.

Losing weight but not losing fat
I’ve noticed that every time I cut (usually about 15 pounds) I lose weight but I end up at the same exact body composition. I’m not losing strength in the gym so I don’t think I’m losing muscle, but I’m also not getting any leaner. I don’t want to cut any lower than 160 because I’d be way too skinny at 5’11.
So what am I losing ? 15 pounds of water weight in 2 months ?

Social gains?
I've had a decent body for a long time and it's the driver of my confidence so I'm pretty good at maintaining it. That doesn't stop me from missing out on social opportunities when I'm out and about, striking up convo with strangers at a bar and what not. Some self reflection brings me to a fear of rejection which I guess I compensate by looking hella good.
Anybody else in the same boat? Or used to be before making social gains? It's a weird feeling to have a nice physique without the confidence to wield it. I have a great time when I go out which I do pretty much every weekend, but I always end up going home alone because I tend to keep to myself.

Would a typical 60 minute full body workout 4x a week be safe/good for muscle growth?
Beginner lifter here. This would of course have the necessary compound lifts (bench, squat, deadlift)
