-1 Cut or Bulk - Newbie

ad

I’m about to start my first cycle. As recommended by many I’m going to only use one substance for my first cycle. I’m not all that interested in getting “huge” But want to get lean and work hard on my core. I’m not sure if I should cut or bulk on my first cycle. I’m reading all I can and am in brain overload with information. I’m 38 and on 100ml per week of Test Cyp for TRT for low T and my testosterone number is maintained now around 825. My research seems to suggest starting at a low dose such as 400ml of Cyp per week would be best. Can I cut with this setup or should I bulk first and come back later with a cutting cycle. Thanks, Gary

I wouldn’t add anything nor would I increase the mg on the test. If your in the 800 range that’s plenty of test to do what you want to accomplish. You can cut or bulk on that amount. Decide on a diet, stick to the diet, and stay true to the diet. Good luck to you bud.

Now your comment in the pics section makes sense.... I replied to your question of whether or not you need to run a PCT since youre on trt. smh.. Im not bashing you its good you are asking questions, but you should understand these compounds and know what trt means exactly before even deciding to run ANYTHING. Your post above is elementary at best asking whether or not ypu should cut or bulk. How do we know? What are your goals? Do you understand how to combat problems should they arise? (these are rhetorical btw). By your stats id say look at a diet that is properly configured to give you the look YOU are desiring. Aas shouldn't be a crutch and is not needed at this time by you imo. Youd be better off with an aggressive gym regimen followed by an excellent diet protocol to get you where you would like to be.

As we tell everyone its a marathon not a sprint. Your physique is where it is currently do to your decisions but can be remedied with self control and discipline. Here's my age old question to you(again rhetorical) What do you wanna look like? A porkchop or a chicken breast? Think about that the next time you prep a meal. Good luck

I wouldn't worry about just getting 'huge' overnight lol That only happens when you really really want it to by eating a hell of a lot of food and routinely doing hard training sessions week in week out.

You can both cut and bulk with that setup. The bulk/cut is decided by your diet way more than your gear.

Also, as you’ve already been told, give more time to see where your current trt dose gets you before considering a blast

Hey Gary Nichols I really hope that’s not your real name. Simple question what’s your BF at? Maybe they will help you decide what to do. And mate if its a bit high suggest you cut on your trt dose and when you’re low enough bulk. If you don’t want tk get “huge” then given your current weight why do you even need a cycle.

I just had my 3 month bloodwork done since starting TRT and I’m at 830. My BF is around 14-16%, haven’t had it checked in a while. I’m a little fluffy around my midsection but can still see my abdominals when I flex my stomach. I guess I’m leaning towards a cut but I do want to gain some lean muscle that I lost after an elbow surgery a couple years ago. I used to be around 210 and I went on weight watchers and started Guerilla growing cannabis ( hard ass work) and dropped down to 160 and now I’m back up to 180. I’m an easy gainer and cutter.

BTW, Gary Nichols is not my real name, lol.

So in 3 months at your next bloodwork test, your testosterone number comes back at over 2000 because of the cycle. What do you think the doctor's reaction will be??

1) write you a larger script for testosterone.
2) do nothing.
3) take you off TRT for abuse.

You can cut or bulk, just like others said it depends on your diet. Either way youll get great results Smile

Many times unless your body fat is already extremely low the only difference is diet. A lot of compounds you read help you cut simply don’t work unless your under 10%. Test only should always be a first cycle.

I’m more like 14-16% but I honestly haven’t checked it in a while. I know I need to get this info and keep track of it before I start.
