Cut after 12 week bulk

ad

Gained some good strength, muscle, and fat on this bulk cycle using dbol/test e. Four more weeks and the cycle then PCT. Eating about 4500-5000 clean cals a day.
Would like to cut some of the fat out and keep as much lean muscle as possible.

So here's my plan. Stay on my current diet. Incorporate HIIT training for cardio such as sprints/plyo. Don't want to do any long distance running as I believe it eats up too much muscle. Will not be on any juice while cutting.

Should I still lift heavy low reps (6-8 reps) or bump it up (10-12)? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I would wait a while after PCT to cut IMO. I bulk, preserve, and cut. Works pretty well, you don't want to cut right after bulking or you will lose that new muscle that you just gained. My 2 cents.

How long after PCT do you suggest I should start cutting?

Prob a month or 2. The longer the muscle you just gained is held on to ( being preserved ), the more likely of it staying and your gains being kept.

There's a great forum "so i finished my cycle...now what?". For your body to hold all that new muscle...it really has to adjust. Good eating and slight change in workouts. At least a month past pct. Imo

Oh yeah. Reason I chose to do HIIT training is cause I want an athletic physique like those short sprinters. Man those guys are ripped! Can't afford to get massive since I would have to buy a whole new wardrobe.

For a sprinter physique you surely went wrong route on cycle choices

Tell that to Chinas team. Lol! Runners used to like drying anabolics. But yes....to be all power legs and lean is all kitchen work.

The sprinter physique thing was something I thought of last minute (more like last week while watching the US Olympic tryouts). What kind of cycle do you suggest?

Sprinter are huge legs...and not super bulky on top. All engine (legs). Get lean and prop/var. Cutter tight cycle. Those guys/gals are jet rockets
