    Maintaining gains on a cutting cycle

    So we always talk about losing muscle and bulk after a cycle, what about maintaining a shredded physique after a cutting cycle?

    For example, if someone were to do something like test/winny/clen , or test/anavar /clen or something of that nature with the aim of maintaining muscle whilst shredding.

    Is it easier to maintain low body fat post cycle than it is to maintain muscle after a bulk cycle?

    winny gives you are dry look, so when you stop the winny you will lose that. And depends on how lean you are talking about
    If people can't tell your on steroids then your doing them wrong

    Having your diet 99% on point is key with cardio. Eating clean pays off. The BF% I ever here people maintaining year round is like 7%, but I dont think most can do that.

    I think you just answered my question... So you'd lose that 'dry' look. What about effects of something like clen . Do you have to be 'on' all the time (which is obviously not what we would advocate) to maintain the beneficial effects, or do you reside to normal BF levels when you come off?

    Yep, agreed, diet is the key. But if diet didn't change, would staying as lean as you were on cycle be maintainable post cycle, or has Gix already answered that?

    Same rules apply as with bulking. If you're not providing the adequate hormones that preserved your lean tissue while leaning out as well as promoted an enhanced metabolism you're not going to burn fat as efficiently and you're certainly going to lose muscle tissue and fast.
