On cycle cutting.

[homingpigeon]

I am in the last week of my first cycle. 2 pins left. I am 6'2" started my cycle at 217lbs. 500mg test e per week with an epistane kicker first 6 weeks. At the begining of week 7 I weighed 224lbs with noticable size and strength gains. Now just 4 weeks later I weigh 211lbs with considerably more definition. I have kept my calories at around 3600 clean per day. Sweet potatoes, chicken, eggs, n2bulk, isopure etc etc.

All through the cycle my strength has continued to increase. Passing milestones like never before. But my bulking noticably stopped about 3 weeks ago. Is this a common occurrence? I have tried to keep track of lean muscle mass. Started at 173lbs and am now at 186lbs. Great progrees there. Absolutely not bummed about the results of my first cycle. Just wondered if it was natural for my body to shred the excess fat later in a test cycle?

My deadlift and incline bench are great examples of the strength gains.

Precycle deadlift - 275x5x5
Now - 425x5x5

Precycle incline dumbbell bench - 70x5x5
Now - 105x10x5

Should I up my calories for the last week?
Thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Dude holy shit, great progress!

The shedding could be a number of things working together all at once. Your training is obviously more intense, your body is staying more anabolic, and your diet is helping you retain muscle mass while still training hard, all of which burns fat.

You are also topped out on T levels, which didn't happen until about week 5 or 6, so you've had the extra drive to kill it I'm sure.

Cutting out sodium and increasing your water intake will shred you like nothing else!

Thanks BB. Appreciate it.

I did forget to mention I intermittent fast. All cals are consumed from noon - 7. That probably has an impact?

Btw. For those interested. N2Bulk is amazing. I love that shit. Couldnt go back to stupid inferior sugary shake again.
