switching from a bulk to a cut mid-cycle

[AlphaMaleDawg]

I am about to switch from bulking to cutting even though I am still on cycle (625mg test-e and 400mg deca). I know you all say this isn't ideal, but I need to look shredded for the summer. Would it be counter-productive to immediately switch from 500 cals over maintenance to 500 cals under maintenance? Basically I would be eating 1000 less calories per day. If I was off cycle, I would lose a ton of muscle if I did this, but I will still be on cycle so I am wondering if this would work due to the anabolic properties of the test and deca I am taking. Also how much faster do you cut off cycle as opposed to on cycle?

Also would adding a fat burner that I love (OxyElite Pro by USP Labs) be too much? Or would it be effective? I love the stim effect of it

You will be fine cutting on test and deca. You don't necessarily need to cut the calories, I would just change your macros to 70% protein, 20% carbs 10% fats and 45min-1 hour low intensity morning cardio 4-5 times per week and the fat will come off.

When cutting i think its better to keep calories as high as possible (close to maintenance) and adjust cardio and macros to lose fat.

thanks for the tip. I find it hard to believe I will lose fat on the same amount of calories though.

anyone else?

You will if the cals are coming from the breakdown Goal said, the goal is to build lean mass, the combo of the juice/more cals (protein) are gonna do that....the increase in cardio and doing it in the AM will burn off excess so it isn't stored...
