Test E Recomp Cycle CALORIES?

ad

Hi
I've planned to recomp down from roughly 20% down to 13-14%bf over the next 3-4 months.
Would this be possible on 500mg test e/week and Ai? Nolva and hcg for pct.

I know test itself isn't fat burning but I figured it'd help me build some significant amount of muscle (5-10 lbs) over the course of 3-4 months whilst losing fat. Because I'm not close to my genetic potential.

I wonder if my calories should be on maintenance or below maintenance in order for this to take place?

I'll be weighing my food and counting macros whilst doing a P/P/L split.

Thanks.

Do what makwa said, cut natty then build up to your genetic potential. Steroids are not magic voodoo potions. There's tons of info on here about trading and Nutrition, one of the people given by you advice has written tons of invaluable articles. After you've figured all that out and think your ready I would urge you to seriously consider the necessity and then if you do decide to go through with things pick a direction, go up or down and not circles.

You really think you need drugs to cut from 20% down to 14%??
You are no where near ready to run a cycle. I would give yourself at least 2 years before you are ready or even need to run a cycle. Cut some fat and then put some muscle on your frame first. Then you should be primed to go.

Hi okay. idk why I wrote 20% I guess cause I wanted to be more anonymous lol..

I'm actually around 14-15% (my four upper abs are visible under lightning and significantly visible if I tense them under any lightning and want to cut down to 9-10% whilst adding muscle, i.e a recomp.

Now in THEORY would this be achieved through maintenance calories or a deficit?

Please just help me on this lol. I am in contrary to the open post not actually planning as in commiting to executing the plan. I'm just gathering information and knowledge from wiser people.

Okay. Would it be okay to eat at slight surplus say 100-250 calories during cycle then cut after?

Would a cycle still work at my bf% if I use an Ai?

The "wiser people" have given you advice on dialling in your diet, reassess your training and then after some time has passed you can then consider steroids. You're 26, apparently, so you're body is still crammed with muscle building and fat burning hormones. I would suggest you stick around and research buddy.

P.S you've mentioned you're 20% BF twice but when Makwa gave you advice you replied that you're 14-15% - the guys around here are looking out for your health and the health of the community so no point in misleading "the wise" people

Maybe someone has experiences recomping from a higher bf% (20%) to sub 15%?
