I'd like to hear some thoughts on RE-COMP cycles.

I remember a study conducted on men who did 600mg test for 20 weeks with a standard diet and NO exercise. By standard diet I assume one can infer maintenance calories.

On average they lost 2lbs of fat and gained 12lbs of muscle

Swear you've made this thread like 5 times already; the above is the only new thing I have to add.

Don't know if you'll lose any bf - may stay the same. But I guess an increase in lbm means body fat percent goes down even if fat mass remains the same

If I increase muscle mass, while maintaining 170lbs total weight - - right, I'll have lost fat.

But yes, if you are at your goal weight already, and add muscle mass while not gaining any weght, your bf% will be going down.

I see, I didnt see your last post. I think I gain about 15-20lbs of water weight when I cycle.

But you eat extra calories to gain weight while on cycles, correct? I plan to eat maintenance calories..

You can gain lbm and lose bf on cycle eating at maintenance but it won't get you to such an extreme low bf % imo.

Even if I'm starting at like 170lbs, 9%bf, perfect diet, perfect training? How low do you think I could get at 170lbs?

That being said, why bother with AAS? I don't think you need it to achieve your goals.

Really, you don't think it'd be much benefit?

Unless you have a contest coming, making money from appearances, etc, then for your goal I just don't think it prudent to shut yourself down and take the risk. You're at a good level and can achieve positive results without them, imho.

And yes it goes away after a cycle.
