now look at both of these guys.. the natty is just as ripped and lean as the enhanced guy. yet there is 100 pounds of weight difference.
the reason for this difference is because it is IMPOSSIBLE to hold on to a great deal of muscle while cutting naturally.
the natural pro guys prove this, they can all get lean, but they all shrivel up to aids patients in the process.
This is why Arnold and a lot of the early pros ONLY ran cycles during their contest prep phase. because cutting was the most important time to be enhanced so you don't lose muscle (and if you do it right , may even gain muscle).
so, Johnny I think your fine using your fist cycle as a cut.
however, shooting for 2.5+ pounds of weight loss per week to get down to 10% body fat in 12 weeks is a bit ambitious when your only running 500mg of test (you don't got any DNP planned do you?)
