Also I'm bulking and at 200 5,10 and 17% bf as of two weeks ago and on test e 250 mg twice a week. Goal is to be at least 12% by the end I'm 2 weeks into 12 week cycle never carb cycled this way and I did read threads on it just want some more opinions thanks.

    i thought the same thing.. i havent crunched ur numbers but ill give u 2 reasons why IMO bulking for u seems odd:

    1. youre 17%body fat which is high IMO and ur only 2 weeks into the cycle which means u were this fat when u started.

    2. u state u want to be 12%body fat by the end and that is not going to happen running a bulk (caloric surplus). in order to reduce body fat u have to be running a cut (caloric deficit).. thats what cutting is, reducing body fat..

    IMO u need to decide what u want more: reduce body fat or gain LBM.. personally if i were u i would be cutting but i also wouldnt be cycling either.. not at 17% at the start, no way in hell! thats just me though..

    i hope this answers ur question..

    Well I was I have been dropping my calorie intake from what what it was I'm only 200-300 hundred above I had a problem when I dropped calories to fast, seemed like I lost some muscle so I can drop it slowly but I have still been losing a little weight like a pound sometime 2 a week for the last month. So maybe for my body that little above isn't causing me to gain and I'm still losing. I wasn't cutting befor cycle so I just been on same diet since.
