low carb/ 40/30/30 cutting diet

[BiggerisBetter]

. alright bros, here's my problem...
no matter what kind of diet i'm on and no matter how much cardio i do i can't seem to get below 10% bf. I can get my abs to show, but i can't ever get "ripped". Now i'm doing my cutting cycle of sust/eq and am wondering if i should go with the low carb diet or go for the 40/30/30 diet. My goal is to stay around the same weight and drop to 7-8%bf
Current stats:
20 years old, 6'4", 245lb, 10%bf
Cycle is 600mg sust/500mg eq
Any advice/critques/comments would be greatly appreciated

diamonddiceclay will say "no carbs all week, carb up on weekend", so i'll save him the trouble.

Actually you should check out Mr.X's CKD manual @

This will work wonders IF you follow it correctly.

CKD rocks!

if you are on steroids, diet won't make much difference

diamond, i disagree with that notion
as we all know diet is the most important part of bb
your not suggesting that one can eat anything while on a cutting cycle...
i'm just trying to shed those last few pounds while maintaing my lean muscle mass
right now my diet consists of
400g protein: 1600calories
80g fat: 720calories
150g carbs: 600calories
Cardio 4-5 times per week/ 30min
I know that i am in a calorie deficit and the test will preserve my muscle mass, so in theory i should by loosing all fat? right?

Diet is the most important thing, but if you are already on gear, unless you cut carbs to 20g per day, there's not much else you can try

When do you do cardio?
I do mine in the morning before i eat and i added 15min's from 30 to 45 min's and going to an hour this week. Losing fat like crazy

 

[BiggerisBetter]

i do cardio after i am done lifting
its the same effect as first thing in the morning on an empty stomach becaue either way your glycogen supplies are depleted

 

[Mr.X]

I would try protein cycling, it works wonders while on gear.

go w/ the 40/30/30...it will get you where you want to be judging by your post...you will look full at all times and will get shredded especially while "on"...got great results w/ this diet and have been on it for a while(at least a year)...you will not be dissapointed and it will give you balance.on a low carb,it will be hard to stick to,especially on EQ...I.E.:HUNGER ATTACKS...fyi

I have done EQ and would have to aggree 100%, the hunger doesn't attack everyone but if it hits you the 40/30/30 would be the best option. When i am on EQ i am hungry every hour. So try to make you meals spaced out so you stay mildly full throughout the day. As long as you stay at a calorie deficit and do cardio you will lose BF and increase LBM, becuase you are on Juice.. ! Just remember that you will probably retain water which will make you look bloated. Get some Liquidex to take care of water and Gyno sympthoms you should be good to go.

Actually the hunger really starting kicking in around week 3, and i started noticing results around week 5. The cleaner you keep your diet the better the results are going to be, but if you eat sloppy you will notice great strength gains but the vascularity won't be as noticable.

What kind of EQ are you using?

[BiggerisBetter]

the eq and sust are both from IP
as far as my diet it has been very clean
i think i've noticed a little more vasuclarity in my forearms
i haven't noticed any new viens "popping up", but the once i have seem to be get thicker
been debating upping the eq to 600/wk
