I am starting my cycle today. Test C 500mg 2x/wk. Have an AI and HCG on hand. I am on TRT at 100mg/wk and planning a 12 week blast. I am 5'10" 160, 32 yo, been training for 3 years (low LBM because spent most of time cutting from 30% BF).
Right now I am 14-15% BF. Most important thing is to reduce BF to 10-12 over the next 12 weeks while gaining as much LBM as possible. I was going to just cut for a few more months and then cycle, but based on previous posts it seems possible to do both given first cycle and low LBM. I realize my gains wont be maximal trying to do both.
What I am most confused about is how much cardio I should do and how much I should eat. If I do 7 hours a cardio/wk, my TDEE is 2800, if I do 4 hours of cardio/wk, my TDEE is 2500.
How much cardio do you recommend I do and how much should I eat to maximize my two goals (I know how and when to eat)? I do not mind cardio at all so have no problem upping cardio and calories, but I've always been a believer of calorie deficit or surplus is all that matters, so it seems contradictory to do more cardio just to eat the extra calories.
