I have not done carb cycling. And I'm not savvy to it. Personally I started going into a caloric deficit slowly dropping down overtime. Eventually I had to pick it back up because I was having issues with erectile dysfunction and feeling weaker.. I keep stready on weight training and do cardio (usually bike or elliptical due to a bad left knee which is also why I wanted to take MK-677) I have used an ECA before and it worked well. I was informed that with the high body fat a AI may help lean out a little more while cutting. I was a little worried about running clen with ECA. My blood pressure is spot on for my weight and no other abnormalities.
