+ 1 Minicut during bulk — lean enough to keep pushing?
ad
Background: Approx 2.5 months into the bulk — I ran anadrol (alongside some other AAS which I'm still on) for the first 6 weeks and jumped from roughly 170lb -> 230lb. 4 weeks after dropping the anadrol I'm 195lb. (5'9")
I was eating everything in sight while on the anadrol and ended up spilling over from a combination of fat and water retention. I have been taking in approx. 1600 calories for the past four weeks to drop (some of) what fat I gained during the aforementioned a-drol push.
My question is: Have I leaned out enough to keep pushing the bulk? Or should I extend this small fat-loss phase before I bump my calories back up? Any and all input is very much appreciated!
Aiming to compete in October for reference

Ya you’re lean enough to go back to bulking until Feb or march. Then work on shredded for summer. Keep it lean though. Then you’ll have much less painful cut come spring.

With it being October I think do what feels best, still long ways away.
What'd you think of the results from anadrol?
LOVED Anadrol. Running it again now because my bloods came back pretty okay. It’s incredible
What else ya taking for your cycle?
Looks like the edema is gone and looks like you leaned back out pretty well. Going to try the same protocol again, 10 week bulk, 4-6 week lean out?
Any idea on bf%
I have a cheap RENPHO body composition scale. Got it off Amazon.
Test eq and relatively low dose deca. Under 1.5g total AAS. And ideally not, I’d like to just have a long and hard lean bulk until it’s time for prep. I’ll have to look into one of those scales because I really don’t know where I’m at at the moment bf wise
Yeah I’ve had the scale for a year and like it.
Are you running Reta? Run it low and it shouldn’t blunt your appetite but will help keep you lean. GH will also help keep you lean.
I wasn’t during the Anadrol but I ran it for the cut and am dropping my dose down and remaining on it for the duration of the bulk + 6iu hgh. I’ve ran between 2mg of Reta a week up to 25mg a week. Probably gonna stay in .75-1mg a week for the bulk
What's with the black bar? Are you holding a gun or your cock?
Either way I want to see it
Thats right. Dicks out for the boys
xD
"Have I leaned out enough to keep pushing the bulk?"
So 10 wks on a bulk and 4 weeks on a cut and looking to bulk again? With anadrol again?
Walking around at a bloated 230 must have felt pretty rough. Traps looking nice and beefy though. Any adema or swelling from adrol usage? Sound like one of the lucky ones that doesn't get appetite suppression from adrol
No not with Anadrol. Will be eating 3-400 cal above maintenance once the bulk resumes. Pretty substantial edema, that’s where a lot of the weight was.
Awesome bro, keep grinding, looking good no homo
