How much test is needed to retain muscle while cutting?

[mike peters]

Hello, I'm 6'0 223 lbs w/ 13%. I need to shed some fat quick for picture shoot. What's the minimum amount of testoviron (thats's what I have) would I need weekly to retain muscle while doing about 1.5 hours of cardio daily w/ dieting? thanx

I always do test even on my cutting cycles. I do anywhere from 500mgs to 750 mgs a week, because when on a strict diet and cardio you will lose muscle if not taking some sort of test. You should however get some arimidex if you do decide to take test so you keep your water weight to a minimum. The test will just keep you full while dieting but I am a firm believer in doing test with everything whether it be a mass or cut cycle.

500 mg/wk of Test Enth is great for cutting....Fumunda

Test at small doses such as 250mg/week should be OK, you won't retain water with it.
If possible add some Winny to it, winny by itself won't preserve from loosing muscle mass while Test will do

you can go over 500mgs if you have any arimidex that will keep the water down...

For your size, 500mg should do nicely. But make sure to get some armidex, so you wont hold to much water. Also you might want to add some t-3 at 100mcg. That is the cycle i have used before, with very good results.
