Bulking for half cycle then cutting ..

[darkwing86]

Hey guys ... running test 700mg and tren 400mg .. Im in week 8 of this cycle .. gained some amazing size and strength so far .. up maybe 15lb .. I realy like all the size i put on .. but now i want to lean it out a bit an continue the cycle for another 7 weeks ... = 15 total . what do you guys think about doing this ... bulking for the first half then cutting the fat ... you guys think it pointless as you will lose the muscle you put on .. or you think those gains are going to stay ?

It's a tough call. You really need more time than 15 weeks to successfully bulk+cut IMO. I was planning to try it myself on a 24 week blast, but I blast and cruise so recovery is no issue. As long as my bloods check out throughout the blast. I'll say it will be more effective than trying to cut off cycle, but I'd shoot for a longer blast if you want to successfully do both. If you're PCTing then I wouldn't try it.

Need that ^^^ and history. Also If you are putting on size and it is leanish then why cut. Just get your diet dialed in to put on LMM because when you get of cycle that's what your gonna have.

15 pounds is great probably 1/2 that is LMM at best and so you're right on track.
All this emphasis on cutting ? are you getting ready for a show?

What is your BF%.

You don't loose lean muscle mass if you keep eating and training. Get straight with understanding what you are gaining.

Looking solid bud. If you did a full on cut you would look fucking ridiculous. Body fat is probably at around 14%. How do you even cycle off and still look decent. I am guessing pct is going to rape your gains on this one since it will not be fun recovering from a tren cycle.

Wait...do you cycle or are you blasting and cruising for now? I am also concerned with your choice of beer but that is another story.

Poor representation with all the beer advertisement. That's just my personal peeve. Imagine how you would look without the alcohol carbs from the beer.

Without being in competition...

You can look at this with many opinions and theories, but I simply let the diet be
the diet - let the gear be the gear... and don't base one on the other...

... "within reason and good common sense."

If you want to loose a little body fat (no matter where you are in the cycle) cut back on the
fat, carbs or calories... whatever is causing the extra bf.

The same thing applies after the cycle... you can add extra calories to help keep as much muscle
as possible - but if those extra calories turn into fat... it's extra fat, not muscle.
