can I run a cutter at low doses?

**vic99** · 09-05-2006, 07:15 PM

I am planning for a cutter and have the thought that there is no need to run high doses during a cutter because all I am trying to do is retain muscle and harden up. I dont plan on gaining muscle during the cutting phase since I will be lower kcals. Comments or suggestions?

stats: 34, 225, 5 cycles over 15 yrs. First comp in June 06.

I am considering tren /prop. I have run tren last cycle at 100 per day and the sides were tough but bearable. I am considering running prop and tren at 75 ed. I would run lower if it made sense. I would run this both in a cutter after this cycle and up to the show. My first comp will be at 35 and June 07. I am currently at 225 and expect to end up around 170 at show time.

If you are planning on cutting cun 75mg prop/tren ED if you are not using a combo try to inject alittle more prop(~80mg) so ur sex drive doesnt suffer.

you can def you less aas when cutting then you would need when bulking. i'm not a big fan of tren as it affects my sleep to much wich is the last thing i want when on diet, not only for the lack of sleep but when lying awake its hard to control hunger cravings. i like to use deca in pre-contest cutting fase as it helps retain muscle more then any other aas to me, just drop it 4 weeks out and switch to a dht deritive like masteron or winny.

Rodge has some great advice there.

You could get by on 400mg of Test/WK and that would be the cheapest, most effective compound to run when trying to cut.

The gear is going to prevent you from going catabolic when you have a caloric deficit, so not much is needed to make sure you don't cross the threshold.

Throw in a compound like winny or anavar and you'll have strength on the lowest calorie days.
