First Cut Cycle advice

[IronClydes]

I can cut with what you have but here is what i would do. Save the deca and prami for a bulk later on. Up your trt dose and drop your calories by 500 below maintenance. Up your cardio or even consider fasted cardio in the am. Do this cut and loose the extra bf to prepare you for a bulk later down the road. You only have time

So, just do a blast and cut cals? Last blast was 800 per week. Isobar count earned calories into my daily calories. At maintenance, with my current workouts, I probably am well under 500 per day.

230, 6', 34, 13% bf, bench 320, squat 435, dead 465.

I do not even think you need that much 500 is plenty and then adjust your cardio like i suggested. Eat more greens. How clean are you eating?

Looking solid man! I think you should just cut your cals like BIO said by 500 and see how it goes for 4-6 weeks. Eat clean and bust your ass off. Do cardio at the end of your workout. You will burn more cals lifting. Plus you will be stronger lifting first. If you feel like doing cardio at the end your workout wasn't good enough. You should have to make your self do it.

Very clean. I get shit all day from the guys about it.

Breakfast is 2 pieces Ezekiel with natural pb, scrambled eggs of 1 whole egg with 230g egg whites, 2 slices fat free sliced American.

Work meals on low carb days are 1 cup fresh green beans, 100g brown rice or red potatoes, 150g chicken, 1 oz almonds.

Pre workout is 250g jasmine with 100g chicken.

Post is whey plus creative. Then 350g jasmine with 100g chicken.

Bedtime is 2 cups cottage cheese with jam.

Maintenance cals are about 3500 and macros for that at 475 carb, 230 pro, 75 fat.

On the carb cycle though, it's 5 days @ 3400 @ 270/310/120, 1 day @ 4000 (600/230/75).

So with this new plan, no more carb cycling? Just maintain the 500 under?

looking at your food that doesn't look like 3,400 cals. I would be shocked if that's much over 2,000 have you ever broke each meal out to see?

The work meals are x2. I track all of my calories in myfitnesspal. Definitely hitting the numbers. I sometimes add more almonds and/or cheese sticks if low at bedtime.
