Deca or Mast for a mini-cutting and a bulk cycle

[Cylon357]

Fist thing is to pick your goal. Cutting or bulking, not both. At 185 lbs, and wanting hit 200#, it sounds like you want to bulk.

That right there ^^^

Agree with AG that you should pick one, and sounds like bulk is what you are really looking for.

OP, diet will dictate a lot, but deca is usually considered a better bulking drug than mast. BTW, deca is not only good for bulking, though it does well there.

All that said, this is your third cycle. Keep it simple. Test at 600mg per week will serve you well, maybe add that dbol kick-start you did before. No, the immediate gains / bloat you get from dbol doesn't stay, BUT the muscle built by the extra reps you get from the dbol does. Keep diet on point and enjoy!

Bump this. Also we could help more if you can eloborate on "couldn't keep my gains" ....maybe we can help with diet/training/PCT

I got Covid twice and ended up losing nearly all my gains. When I started my second cycle my body looked like complete disaster (VERY high bf and low muscle mass). I ended up gaining back the pounds I lost from my 1st cycle but didn't exactly gain extra mass.... I feel like it was just a cycle to re- gain what I had lost. Like I said, I'm not interested in looking super lean. But I truly want to look jacked for the summer. Juicy jacked but not fat fat haha

I imagine that with a decent diet my bf % will stay under around 18%? I think that’s fine.
Do you recommend me cheating twice a week during a bulk?
