Test is fine for cutting, although there are drugs that are easier to accomplish this with IMO. I have cut with test before, though, and the trick is to manage your calorie intake. this is REAL tridky because test is not an effective muscle builder in the absence of calories, and yet you have to restrict calories to burn fat. Yet, test burns fat. Hmmm. So here's what you do. Hit the test at about 600 mg /week for the whole time, raise your calories, and INCREASE YOUR CARDIO TO ACCOUNT FOR THE RAISE. Add in Arimidex at .5mg/day and there ya go. You're cutting.
