Advice on fourth cycle targeting lean gains.

ad

Planning a fourth cycle now and wanted opinions. Previous cycles, body comp, strength gains, physical progress, diet, sleep, exercise. below

I am two weeks into PCT and will get blood in 6 weeks.
1.5iu HGH.
20mg tamoxifen
25mg Clomiphene
20mg cardarine

==STATS==
39
6'0
87 kg
15% BF

==GOALS==
Lean gains
Continued increased strength.
Reduce body fat.
Ideally, I'd like to drop as much body fat as possible while still gaining.

I've been keeping up the calories in PCT to avoid muscle loss, so I added some fat. At what point post-cycle does it make sense to have a calorie deficit, or does it at all? I've dropped from 25% to 15% body fat in the last year, so I'm definitely going in the right direction. It would be nice to drop a few more percent for summer, either on or off-cycle.

Then, what is a strong combo for lean gains and appropriate for an intermediate 4th cycle?

I would appreciate some advice on bloods taken week 4 pct, week 6 post cycle. They are not great, but not terrible. Not sure why prolactin is so shot.
