Hey so,

You need to get some goals fists and then make up a cycle to obtain those goals but first off they’re some elements you have to consider.

1. You say eating gets expensive...once you gain the weight from AS you need to eat accordingly to maintain the weight. More weight = more cals and more $. Trust me I’ve been on that roller coaster.
2. It sound like your progress is still moving at a good pace maybe use some supplements first, educate yourself more on diet. I did a bulk cycle when I was less knowledgeable on diet and couldn’t figure out why I was gaining half the weight I wanted too. It was because I wasn’t eating enough carbs and then when I came off my cycle I lost everything because of the same reason.
3. Last but not least most ppl DO NOT truly know or have what it takes to PCT.

That should help you do some brainstorming in achieving your goals…

Oh ya one last thing make sure your hitting the right body part to get the right gains. I see ppl at the gym thinking their doing the back of their delts and really they’re doing their back. I think that is the biggest problem in the gym in regards to muscle isolation.
