How to train on cycle

[Yomny]

While on a test cycle, do you guys train the same as when you're off and just trying to maintain muscle, meaning doing abs, cardio and all the same routines or do you focus on pumping hard iron just to grow. Thanks

Focus on eating like a monster to grow and I do the same routine personally. Low rep, high intensity. It's all about the diet.

eat more, lift harder, sleep more and eat again

me too bro, I mostly do combo of 5x5, 5x4, or 5x3, depends on what day and if I'm platued or not.

Got it, so its about heavy heavy and good amount of eating(healthy). Thats what i thought, just wanted to make sure. Then hit the cutting cycle, this should be done im guessing after the post cycle therapy (pct) right? to avoid estrogen and all those negative side effects? Thanks alot for your replies.

Def don't want to start cutting right away cause you'll lose to much during post cycle therapy (pct), wait till after, and keep ur cals up durring post cycle therapy (pct). personally I am going to wait and see where I'm at after post cycle therapy (pct) to see when and if I want to cut. I may keep trying to bulk until my next cycle and do a cut cycle then

 

[Yomny]

Makes sense, so maybe a week or so after pct, to make observations on gains then decide on the cutting

 

[surfdog]

yes thats what I would do, cause you'll lose some water anyway and lean out a bit. But if you start to cut to soon you'll most likely lose most of your gains.

So then I should wait more, what I mean by cutting
is very noticeable cuts, not a mild water loss. I know I will lose muscle
mass.

I eat like a pig and go full blast every workout on candy.Heavy squats,deads,benching and heavy accesory work is what I do.

you shouldn't. after post cycle therapy (pct) I would take all my measurements and find out what my base caloric need is to maintain. Eat those cals, and do your cardio. With some Stims like eca, clen or albuterol you will get your cut on without losing a bunch of muscle.

I personally would wait longer then a week after post cycle therapy (pct) to start cutting as well. If your post cycle therapy (pct) is a month long I would wait at least 2-3 weeks after post cycle therapy (pct), or until you THINK you are back at homeostasis. The only way you will know for sure you are back is to have pre and post blood work but a lot of people don't do this.

Thats really good advice, i really appreciate it. I would assume post cycle therapy (pct) would take about 3-4 weeks like you said and then wait a couple more to start cutting.. some blood test half way through post cycle therapy (pct) to see how things are and go from there. As far as cutting i was thinking Wins, but you mentioned some other ones.. i didnt want to use anything that aromatizes as to avoid having to post cycle therapy (pct) again. Thanks.
