Age: 22
Height: 5'8"
Weight 170
BF: Sitting around 12% (it gets a bit lower every now and again)
Training:
I have been training for a little over two years. Right now im about to finish up a bulking phase and my diet consists of around 2600-2800 calories with approx 225g protein, 300-350g carbohydrates and usually no more than 30-60g of fat a day. I still do cardio to stay in shape, but try to keep it to once or twice a week to keep from eliminiating my caloric excess.
Current Supplements:
Whey Protein
Multivitamin (Animal Pak)
Creatine
I have also taken a two 6 week cycles of Novedex XT in the past 6 months or so.
Why I am considering a cycle, and what I am trying to accomplish with one:
In the next month or so I plan on going on a cutting cycle to try and get my body down to 7-8% BF, and tone up a bit. I have tried cutting down before in 6 week phases but I feel like my muscles are obliterated, my strength doesn't really decrease but I feel like I lose alot of the size that I put on during the bulking phases and though I can get to a low body fat % (right around 8%), I can tell that my body lacks the definition it could have if I can eliminate any loss of muscle and maybe even gain some during the process. Right now I am pretty happy with my size, but I wouldn't mind getting somewhat bigger - I just want to make sure I can eliminate losing muscle size and strength during a cutting phase.
As far as the training routine I have planned it will probably look something like this
Diet:
around 225g of protein a day
200-280 or so grams of carbs
30-90g of fat
I will also cycle in and out high carb days and low carb (higher fat) days
Weight Training
4 days a week, either a split routine (A and B workouts twice a week) or a 4 day split with superset excercises.
Cardio
High Intensity Interval Training - around 5 days a week, seperated as far as possible from my weight training during the day.
With all that said, I was wondering if I could get some direction as to what type of product I should be looking for as well as any other advice I can get about the cycle I am trying to portray. I have read up on some of the sticky's and whatnot, so I have somewhat of an idea of how to be safe - however, like I said it will probably be the middle or end of june before I start a cycle so I will try to do as much research as I can before then with whatever advice I can get.
Thanks in advance
