While upper body strength may be improving, addressing potential issues with lower body lifts and hip flexors can help enhance overall performance.In this clip

I suspect that I'm overtrained. I've been doing heavy weights at low reps with long rest times for pretty much the whole year. I've taken a few different weeks off here and there, but I kind of feel tired all the time and have a low libido. I was thinking about taking a four-week break away from weightlifting.
I'm currently running the MAPS Aesthetic program and doing a bulk for the first two phases. I plan to go on a cut for the last phase. I've heard you guys talk about how high-intensity/supersetting workouts aren't typically the best while on a cut in order to preserve strength. Love to hear your thoughts around nutrition and workouts while running Aesthetic. Thanks so much!
Should I: A.) Cut for a few weeks to shed body fat, then reverse out? B.) Figure out my current maintenance numbers and focus on getting strong? C.) Attempt a stricter bulk and lift heavy?
