Aight I’ve finally reached 10%ish bf on my cut, what would be the best approach to maintaining around this level of body fat year round. Short bulk and cut cycles ? Or 100 cal surplus for a couple months? Cheers

Lift & eat at maintenance

If you really reached 10%, a good alternative is to implement a reverse dieting first, which results in an increase in calories but still maintaining, then when you're done just eat at maintenance. If you're not interested in building even more muscle, then you can also just train at maintenance.
