1.73m, 61 kg, very small frame. competitive bikini fitness athlete. My body fat is currently 16% . When I do a lean out faze for muscle separation, body fat drops to 13% and on prep for comp,11%. I am to start a lean out phase now for 6 weeks but am hesitant to do so in case it would be detrimental to surgery or recovery. seeing my PS on 2nd Sept with surgery possibly end Sept. Should I stay at my current body fat % or would a lower percentage not be an issue?
