ok im staring my cutting phase in 10 days. ive been bulking on test only for a total of 8.5-9 weeks gaining about 23 pounds. im assuming that in the next 10 days i will gain 2 more pounds. my body fat is around 13%-13.5%.
i am doing 10 weeks total of cutting with 500mg icn test enanthate per week (only for 8 weeks) and 30mg Winstrol (winny) tabs per day for full 9 weeks.
my goal is to be at 8% fat and i know i will look really ripped since even at 13% body fat i can still see some stiarations on shoulders and chest.
the thing im not good at is dieting, not the commitment part but doing it the right way. i know i have to lower my carbs and fat but i dont want to end up looking soft and flat....i know i need to eat tons of protein but i dont want to look bloated with a huge gut...and i know i need to do lots of cardio and preferably in the morning but i dont want to lose any muscle.
1> based on success, hot many calories is needed to cut fat without losing muscle (i mean the ratio or the equation relative to body weight)?
2> what is the best protein/carbs/fat ratio for closing fat (again) without losing muscle?
3> what about simple sugars, should i completely cut it off without ever carb loading even once a week, or should i take in some simple carbs at some times, like after intense weight lifting excersise?
4> should i increase cardio week after week or should i do a certain amount the whole phase? and how many times....start to finish?
5> finally is it possible to maintain all muscle mass during the nine weeks....consider that im using test and Winstrol (winny) and that im not really fat. i just need to lose 15 pounds....so about 1.5 pounds per week.
i have no problems commiting to diet since im really looking forward to being ripped and seeing my 6 pack, im just not sure of how to get there, especially since ive never really dieted down to cut fat. ive tried it once and after 2 weeks i loofed extremely soft and flat.
