My Dilemma......

[KillerLoop]

I'm just recovering from a hernia op and have had 6 weeks off the gym. To put it blunt I look like shit. my diet went to shit which I totally regret now and I have gained quite alot of fat and lost a lot of muscle!!

I want to train natural for a few weeks then hit up a new cycle. i'm just not sure whether to bulk or cut becuase if I bulk I'm worried the fat wont come off and if I cut Im worried the muscle will never come back.

Do you guys think if I go back to eating clean but a fair amount of cals the fat will just fall off anyway due to the shock to the body and the muscle memory will kick in??

Well recovering from a hernia i am assuming your muscles have atrophied some. If i were you, i would stay at maintenance, or maybe a little above, just to get my strength and size back. If your worried about gaining fat, just add ALA to your carb heavy meals this will help you.

I would not suggest cutting now, you have already lost size and strength (i assume) dieting now will mean you lose more. Eat clean and get plenty of sleep, when you get your strength back, hit your cycle.

Btw muscle memory will help you a great especially if your layoff was breif.

Good Luck.

train natural for a while and try to get back into the swing of things. then do a cycle consisting of something like: Test, Eq, fina, winny, ala, liquidex.
you'll gain size in the beginning of the cycle then on the last 6 weeks with fina/winny combo you should but up nice.

Good luck!
