High kcal diet experiences?

[Buster Brown]

Directly thought about using this thread to drop my diet set-up for my upcoming cycle.

I was thinking about such a macro set-up for the total duration of my cycle (12+2+5=19 weeks) while bulking.

Training days 4-5 times a week:
5300-5500kcal. 300g protein, 750g carbs, 120g fat.

Rest days 2-3 times a week:
4300-4500kcal. 300g protein, 500g carbs, 120g fat.

I always kept a pretty big difference between rest and trainings days, because I try to really "rest" that day. Save me from doing some cardio etc. and of course not training that day.

For a 12 week test-e 500mg/week cycle
2 weeks off
5 weeks of PCT

I would keep eating this amount of kcal during the total cycle including PCT and see what happens with my bodyweights and especially bodyfat. Might up the kcal even further on cycle, during PCT if bodyweight vs. bodyfat is going well.

And then see if I need to maintain such a kcal intake up it or decrease after PCT, however I think It would be better to maintain or maybe even slightly increase kcal after PCT.

That's a good plan. For me.....I always did better keeping my cals at 300 above maintenance through pct as I was no longer utilizing the carbs at that point. Keep an eye on it!

Thanks man! Awesome back btw! Looking massive and solid, damn.

Alright so for example if you were eating 5000kcal on-cycle (and maybe had to up to 5250-5500 during the 12 weeks) which would be +500kcal on maintenance you would drop like -200kcal of carbs during PCT.
