How to do a cutting cycle?

[Demonix]

A mass scycle seems pretty straight forward. But I keep seeing cutting cycle term used but it seems I keep seeing differant definitions of what one is.

So on a cutting cycle I'm assuming you are doing gear and keeping calories low or at least lower than a bulking cycle and doing more cardio?

Cutting cycle = Having a calorie Defecit, either due to diet or cardio, lifting, etc. I guess thats how i would explain it.

AS used in cutting is preferably used for muscle sparing. Primo is a good AS to use because (from what i read) it can be effective at lower calorie intake.
Some AS used for cutting- test, Winny, Primo, Tren, Anavar, Masteron, Halo.

So if you were cutting on a cycle would your calories be them same as you were gutting without gear or would you adjust maybe a little more very clean calories assuming your body would demand more from taking gear?

I'm taking the same calories as before I started. I was losing 1 1/3 pounds a week before this cycle. I'm less than 2 weeks in and I've gained close to 7 pounds, mind you, on a caloric deficit. So I'm happy so far just staying with the same diet I had as before.

Taking AAS causes an increase in metabolism. Therefore you need to compensate by eating more than you would naturally. To give an example, I'm 4 weeks out from my show now and I'm eating around 2900 cals/day. When I'm natural I'll eat 2400.

Hey bro, I was taking in 2400 cals a day natural too. I weigh in at 192 right now about 14% bf. You think I could still shed fat at 2800-2900 cals while on my cycle?

No. You should start out at about 2400. I'm 225 about 5.5% BF. My metabolism is much higher than yours.

As long as you are using anti-e's, I think test and Eq belong in that list as well. The main difference between a cutter and a bulker is not the AS, but the type and amount of food you are eating.

 

[Anthony Starks]

I guess actually just Eq, you already listed test. My bad.

Thanks man. I'll just leave it right where it is then.
Once you get down to 5-6% then won't you always tend to look lean?
By that I mean guys like Coleman always show abs even when bulking you can see there abs. It's like they got rid of the gut fat forever somehow.

Well if you use the same amount of GH, AAS, and T3, then yeah you'll stay that lean. A perfect example of this is Dave Palumbo. I used to manage a PowerHouse while in college. Dave came in to guest pose at the local show in my senior year. He came in to train and we were talking. He asked me where he could eat before he trained. I started naming all the places that had clean food. He goes, "no a McDonald's will do"! The guy was so shredded that his hamstrings looked like steel cords... that's the power of GH, AAS, and T3.

So for your case you have to keep your diet in check. It's easier to maintain a low bf % than to get there. I believe that the longer one stays very lean, the easier it is to maintain.

q? so if i was using eq to cut what anti-e would be the best to keep estrogen down? also a little confuse about amounts; freind got some test e and they r 2 cc syringes, now is that like 2ml? if so how much mg's is that? just thought i would ask.....supa

EQ barely aromatizes, so if you're only doing EQ, you will most likely not need any anti-e's.

Cutting comes down to diet.

But what I think you need to know that there are better agents to acheive that cut look. Usually More Anabolic than Androgenic. Less Aromatizing agents. In addition to loosing body fat, more anabolic less aromatizing agents will help you get that hard, ripped look.

Good Cutters/Low Aromatization: Tren, Winny, Anavar, EQ, Primo.

P.S. If using EQ may want to use Proviron for more free test.
