Yes you should diet before a cycle, to lower you body fat. If your doing a mass cycle your going in increase body fat on cycle, it part of the game.
Be careful of hcg it will cause GYNO! Don’t use it it’s not part of a normal cycle.
Make sure you have your Liquidex on hand. I’m using sust eod and am holding very little water, so far gained 25 lbs. I’m 6’ 4” at 265 now. I’ve not put much weight on my waste, shirts don’t fit anymore. Remember to add the cost of new clothes to the total cost of a cycle!
Don’t use HCG unless your using more than a gram of test a week, even then go with Arimidex. Use clomind post cycle. If your using sust start clomind three weeks after last injection.
