    do you plan on doing a body recomp using AAS , or you doing natty ?

    reason I ask is because the body partitions nutrients differently on cycle then off cycle

    W/test, var, peptides (GHRP/CJC) - based on a past experience this isn’t super effective with keto - what are your thoughts?

    For me, Keto would be the only way I would want to recomp. I’ve done a recomp in the past on and off of Keto on separate occasions. I can say on Keto I dropped a lot more BF. Having said that, Keto wasn’t great for me when trying to bulk.

    test and var is a good combo. if its a fairly long recomp then I'd prefer Primo be in there as well (if you don't have access to good Primo then Masteron).
    I definitely like carb cycling over Keto for a recomp (keto is great for an all out cut). on a recomp we are still trying to build muscle (using stored body fat as stored calories) and carbs are going to help indirectly build muscle , especially while using AAS that help partition carbs as muscle glycogen, bringing water, nutrients, amino acids, into the cell. with Keto you don't quite get this same anabolic effect.

    I’ve got some mast but I’m probably 18%bf right now so thought the mast would be a waste. Probably not ideal for the var either but I wanted to give a run and see how it does with my liver and otherwise at 50/d.
    Pretty much figured carb cycling needed. Need to find a good formula to calculate macros on each day and try to make it doable with busy schedule. That’s the thing about keto is I can pressure cook my protein, dump my fat onto it in with both measured out and bam, I’m good to weight out food for 3-4 days. Maybe an hour or two prep time for the whole 3-4 days. Carb cycling more labor intensive so need a down and dirty and to get familiar with ratios on workout/non workout days. Meh.

    If you are doing Intermittant Fasting with it, if found it easier to eat in my window verses trying to fit in preprogrammed meal times. I get all my needed macros in 2-3 meals and some snacks. Or one big meal and snacks.
