Protein intake and absorption with test/eq/win cycle

Vascular Freak

With a test/eq/win cycle, should I increase my protein intake to 2 - 2.5 grams per lb/lbm? I am very aware of the point of diminishing returns with protein intake when training naturally, but how does this differ with gear since protein sysnthesis is greatly increased. If I am looking to gain strictly LBM with no fat and increase vascularity and density etc, would it be wise to increase protein from 25 grams per meal to 50 grams and decrease carb intake from 30 grams per meal to only 10 or 15 grams or so? So basically this would equate to 2 grams of protein per lb/lbm, .5 grams of carbs per lb/lbm, and approximately 40 grams of fat daily.

I have been following what I stated above now for 2 weeks and it seems that while on this cycle I can keep carbs low and still get a good pump and not "flatten" out
 
When I'm cutting I take in 80 grams of fat, 120 grams of carbs and 400 grams of protein for the day. I weigh 210lbs currently and am at 8% BF. It seems to work for me but I also do cardio 5x’s a week for a minimum of 30 minutes.

You’ll always gain some fat when putting on muscle, but the cardio should keep that in check.
