Hey guys,

Planning my first aas cycle for later this year, and have questions about cutting. I want to be certain I have a solid game plan for an entire cycle, PCT, and beyond before starting.

When I've bulked in the past, I've always had extra body fat that I needed to cut. I'm curious to know how different I should expect it to be while using aas.

1. When you were on your first cycle, did you add a lot of body fat in addition to muscle? How much was it?
2. I'm told that you should not cut during your PCT. Is that correct?
3. I've heard of gear like Winstrol that is specifically used for cutting. Do you get better or faster cutting results doing a cycle devoted to cutting, or is the traditional method of cutting just as effective? What is better for someone finishing their first cycle?
4. I understand that you should wait the same number of weeks on cycle and PCT to start a new cycle. If I did a 12 week cycle with 4 week PCT, would you have to hold on to your added body fat for 16 weeks before doing a cutting cycle?
5. If you cut the traditional way, how long after your cycle and PCT do you wait to start cutting to burn fat while maintaining as muscle mass as possible?

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

Please note: I am waiting until much later in the year to start my first cycle. I am spending this time to as much research as possible, and find any ways to improve my fitness and nutrition.
