Well, you probably won't like this last piece of "advice."
I'd not overhaul your training just going into prep, not to mention at the ~1 month out point. This leaves you with too much to juggle when you're at risk of losing muscle d/t the low caloric intake, not to mention at higher risk of injury in trying out new training techniques.
Search around on r.e. my thoughts on cardio. Given I'm not even thinking the doing FT at all at this point, I don't want to get into the notions of cardio.
Generally, do as little as possible but as needed to get the job done of getting in shape.

You'll have to pick a particular strategy and use it for a long period of time, long enough to see how it affects your body composition. I prefer focusing kcal in the peri-workout period when gaining, and adding more thereafter to other meals based on one's appetite / fullness.

Very good article Scott. Thanks. Helps me a lot at the moment being on the fence on doing my cardio. Last bulk I didn't do any in the last 6 week and still managed to stay at 11% bf.
Got bf checked and weighed in 4 pounds heavier from last week. Still did cardio. The shit to it was when it broke down my gains they weren't so good. 1 lb water. 1 lb muscle. And 2 lbs fat!! So from 8% to 9%. Not a good week of gains. Is it possible to stay that low of fat and grow. Im guessing u are going to say yes.
I'm going to drop cardio this week and drop calories from 5000 to 4500 on training day. (Body weight of 209. ) rest days I'll go down to 3300. Check it next week and hope for a better result
