My on cycle bulking diet
I'm currently in my 2nd week of my 2nd cycle.
1-4 100mg Test P EOD
1-12 600mg Test E
13 100mg Test P EOD
14 75 Test P EOD
15 50mg Test P EOD
16-19 Nolva/Clomid PCT
1-19 6.25-12.5mg Aromasin ED
Stats
Height - 5'8"
Weight - 182
Age - 28
BF - 9% (3 point caliper test) I think its actually closer to 12+. I just monitor the individual measurements for changes
Experience - I've been moving weights occasionally since about 16. Over the past two years I've become much more focused and dedicated and continue to become more so.
Routine - 3 day split (6 days a week, every body part 2x week).
Goals - Bulk as efficiently as possible. I don't want to end the cycle with a lot of excess fat to have to burn off later though. I'd like to get to 195-200lbs to cut down to about 185-190 with less BF that I currently have around June-July or whenever my hormones return to baseline after PCT. I plant to continue my workout and diet routine though and past PCT. I want to hold on to my gains this time regardless of how unsightly the additional fat may become as I bulk.

The only meals that are not always the same are meal 5 and 6. I flex meal 5 and 6 to make sure I hit my calorie and or macro goals for the day. I also DO NOT adjust calories for workout days. I strictly aim for 3500cals each day.
On my previous cycle of Test E only, I set a goal of 3500cal/day. I did not hit this on weekends. I gained from 178-190 within the first 6 weeks then stalled due to my diet inefficiencies. I'm much more on point this time around. I plan to weight and measure again Dec 29 (approx 4 weeks since last record weight/tape) and adjust diet to continue to work toward goals. Should I weight/measure more often to more precisely adjust the diet or is every 4 weeks ok?
Please let me know what you think of my diet. I welcome any and all suggestions and criticism.

I would add either casein protein powder if you have it, cottage chesse or my favorite, two cups of greek yogurt. it around 40 grams of slow digesting protein and another 250-350 cals depending on if you get plain, low fat, low carb etc.
How has it heen going this time? Persinally I think you could be eating more, especially more meat. Im about same size, maybe 10lbs heavier and Im needing at least 4-4500 cal/day to make decent gains. If you havent made the gains you were hoping for yet Id say double your portion of meat intake in each meal. Fats are pretty low for bulking too.maybe try adding some avocadoes and walnuts (highest omega 3 content nut). That will get your calories up easily also.
