Author | Topic: Turning a bulk cycle into a cutting cycle... | ||

I'm in week 6 of a 10wk test/deca cycle right now and I've made good gains (about 25lbs), but some of it is definitely water and fat (I'm currently 240lbs, about 16% BF). I'm happy with the gains in lean mass so far, and would really just like to lose the fat. Is it possible to stop bulking and start cutting on the same cycle? I mean, if I stay on for the next 4 weeks, reduce my diet and do a lot of cardio, can I lose the fat and hold onto my muscle gains? I've heard that you need to give your body time to adjust to the new muscle and if you diet to quickly, you'll lose muscle with the fat. If so, how long do I have to wait before I start a cutting cycle? Oh, also, I have access to primo, winstrol and eq which I was planning on using for a cutting cycle this spring. Should I just bite the bullet, get the stuff, and switch it up now? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Just keep bulking bro. Don't waste good gear which could be aiding in your growth by using it ineffectively for four weeks to cut. Perhaps if anything cut back on the calories a bit. That is if you are gaining too much fat. If not just keep on rolling. Don't shock your body by starting to diet imediately. It won't respond well. You should give your body time to adapt. This muscle is new and unusual to it and the body dosn't like change that much. It will do what it can to return to its original form and function. Wait, and cut up in spring. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

beezers- thanks for the feedback, bro. I sort of figured it that way, but I just wanted to double check. Do you think I can start trying to lose some fat a month after I come off, or should I just focus on maintaining the new muscle until spring and diet hard then? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
