I wouldn't waste money on AAS for cutting unless I am preparing to walk on the stage which I am not. I've never tried cutting on AAS but people always advised me against it. I was told by people with more experience that I need to learn to follow a good diet and exercise to cut. If I can't do that, then AAS is a waste of money. I've never used EQ but I've witnessed people reporting lean gains using it. I used Deca and I think it is king in bulking cycles especially the way my joints felt.
