There is no such thing as a cutting cycle .. thats a term used by steriod dealers
Yes some cause more fluid retention then others but after you cut through all the bullshit it comes down to calorie intake as to what shape your going to take and your type of training at the time .. and it's dose dependent ...
I've seen guys ripped to the bone on test deca and Eq with d-bol as a hail mary !!
Now that kinda cycle would bloat the majority of us yet if your on the cutting edge of your diet your in the drivers seat ...
Keeping the estrogen at bay is another key ... excessive estrogen will make you fat .. end of story , yet some is needed for proper growth ,the balance is what each one of us has to find for ourselves .. thats what makes it work
This is an art form mixed with science .. reading your bio-feedback and knowing how to inturpet those reading and tell tail signs is what seperates the success stories from the failures .... listening to what works for someone else is a fools paridise at best
