After the cycle

**Myers** · 03-21-2017, 01:43 PM

Got just one question

I'm running a 400 mg test e / week cycle atm , for 12 weeks
I'm also on nebido as my TRT protocol

when i finish the cycle , since i'm in deficit around 1000 atm and cycling carbs, should i keep the deficit? Or run maintenance , or just lower it to 300-500 from 1000, since i'm not PCTing?

Purpose was to keep as much muscle and strength as possible while cutting, as far as it goes i managed to do it

My strength went up on deads , squats , bench and military press

I wanna keep cutting after the cycle probably , just in a lower deficit of around 300-500

You can find my cycle log in that part of the forum, thx!

Oh sorry misread that. You should be able to cut down without any substantial muscle loss with the trt dose.

Myers, your goal was to go from ~16% bf to ~10%.

No to be a dick but why couldn't you lose 6% bf in 12 weeks?

I did , but i wanna keep going even lower, and it's 10th week , i'm already near my goal, i wnna try for 8% after the cycle

It's march and i don't wanna bulk before august so, i wanna cut some more , and maintain a bit and then start the bulk around august .
The more i managed to cut more motivated i actually am , lol, fk me but i'm never satisfied

I'm a perfectionist and that really gets to my head sometimes

10% bf is a very low amount.

Look at the photos in my profile, I'm probably just above 12% for most of the year.

Most of this is dependent on genetics but it's not really a realistic goal to live life at under 10% bf.

If you still want to continue looking weight then I think a 300-500 calorie deficit, while cycling carbs, is a good decision.

Just make realistic goals or you'll never be happy with your physique.

Thx numbere , that's my problem whole life , everything i do i do like i'm competing or something , it has to be 110%

Recently due to sh1tloads of stress , i started getting sick often

Talked with my parents and i went to a therapist , for some psychoanalysis , had a few sessions and i'm making progress..

I'll stick to the 300-500 deficit for some time then

Guess what, he drinks 2l of cola every day and eats crap

....oh the struggle

Needless to say he looks great without much effort

If you're under so much stress that you're getting sick and need to see a therapist then it doesn't make sense to add more stress to your body by eating under maintenance.

I think you should consider eating maintenance for a few weeks until you get your life back on track.

It's only March 21st so you have a wile to cut before summer.
