Switching from a bulk to a cut.

I got a bad call yesterday telling me that a trip that involves an event has been moved up from september to july. I was getting ready to start my sixth week of test e injections on a bulk eating 1000 calories over maintenance. My main goal for this trip was leanness. I dont feel that after this bulk i will be as lean as i want to be. I am assuming once i finish this bulk i would need to lose about 20lbs of fat. I started cycling because i needed more mass on my frame thats 160lbs at 9% fat. Now i think that i will change my diet and start eating 500 under maintenance. I am assuming this will thow any chances of putting on any muscle out of the window. Am i correct or does the test change the dynamics of building muscle and burning fat at the same time? If i am wrong i understand my muscle gains wont be around 20 lbs. What could i expect?

Youll still gain some muscle. Its all in our diet of what you gain. You should lean out pretty good eating under maintenance

Never cut while on test but 20 lbs of pure fat (not including water weight and muscle) seems like too much. For 160lbs breaking 190ish or more I'd cut back.

I understand the importance of looking good for those summer photos. If anything I would stay at maintenance during the cycle, unless its something lame. Up to you.
