30 + lbs on first cyp cycle!

ad

After my 12 weeks of 500 cc of Cyp, I have gained 40 lbs which of those 40 are 30 ish lean mass and the rest fat and water weight according to BodPod (air-displacement) and 15% body fat. Increased strength by like 5 fold, no acne, no high levels of estrogen (still takin arimidex half every 3 days) and great libido.
My daily kcal its still pretty high 5500 to 6000 a day.

My questions are: do I start pct after 2 weeks off gear? (And a friend here recommended stick to nolva and closed).

Do I keep my kcal high or do I drop them? I would like to show the gains I've put up, so cutting would it defeat the purpose of bulking or is it recommended?

Any help would be appreciated it.
Thanks guys

Start PCT 14-18 days after last pin. I would keep the diet the same all the way through PCT. You are going to need the extra calories for when the test level drops, while your hpta is rebooting. Good job!...

Thank you! Okay and then do you recommend cutting? Or at least adjust the diet and cardio so i can shed some of the fat off?
Appreciate the help

Yep...moderate cardio 2-3x per week. Adjust lifting regimen with low weight (25-50% of current weight) high reps 30-60" rests, come down on carbs slowly, increase fats to delay carb metabolism (you are titrating your macros to meet your goals). Make sure daily protein is 1.5g/lbs of new muscle weight.

Interesting. I've always been told to keep them high in order to keep retainage high while the body adjusts, especially with the incoming restart of natty production. Learn something new everyday.
