Intermittent fasting and juice

[Snapcity1990]

Will intermittent fasting hinder your gains on aas even if you consume the appropriate amount of calories? Ive heard that the normal body doesn't go catabolic, but would steroids make you go catabolic with a 16 hour fast and an 8 hour eating window? Has anyone had any experience with fasting while on cycle? Thanks

Every cycle I run is with an intermittent fasting diet, and I can assure you that it only has positives and no negatives on cycle. My last cycle I gained 12 lbs but dropped bodyfat from 6.5% at the beginning to 5.7% at the end (my avi pic).

Intermittent fasting and cycling work beautifully together

"IF" works wonders while being ON or OFF. All you have to do is adjust your Calories & Macros to what ever your goal is. It's a lifestyle and not a diet. I will never go back to 5-6 small meals. I fast for 20 hours and have a eating window of 4 hours when I'm cutting and now that I'm bulking I fast for 18 hours and have an eating window of 6 hours to consume my calories.

don't fast if you're trying to bulk, but if you're cutting you can do short fasting

That's absolutely false. Bulking works just fine on IF.

On a 16 week cycle: test/mast/eq/proviron

First 8 week was a bulk diet.
Now starting week 9-16 to cut, also throwing in yohimbine hcl and ECA stack spaced apart appropriately.

My question is...regarding IF... will the longer fasting time (20-24 hours between meals) pose any kind of disadvantage to utilizing all the effects of aas (Would losing fat and gaining some muscle too at a caloric deficit be possible with this aas cycle)? I know 16/8 is popular IF method, but I extend the fast even more. From one big dinner to next day one big dinner (approximately 20-24 hour fast from meal to meal) and this is post workout at night before bed. Fasting is pretty easy for me, and I actually prefer it this way then having to eat throughout the day. I am able to hit all my macro protein/carbs/fat calculation in one big meal and 2 pw shakes, throwing in some extra whey protein to help meet some of the protein requirements in addition to what I am eating.

So any thoughts on extended fasts on IF and aas?

Also, is "10 x bodyweight in lbs" a good start for calories, cutting while on aas, or is that too low? That's what I do when natural but not sure if should be a bit higher while on aas. Fairly decent BF% right now, probably at 12-13% realistically, 6 pack a bit visible but not solid. Aiming to get good visible "8" pack in the remaining 8 weeks on the remainder of the cycle.

Thanks
