After 1st proper cycle - what now? was created by Marcel83
Hi all,

so after some research and planning i am getting closer to the end of my cycle.

12 weeks of Test E & NPP is coming to a close end of december.

i have gained +- 15kg, BF has been kept under control, have some stubborn bf around stomach but my pants size 32 still all fit comfortably, a bit less so around my quads and calves.

off cycle for 2 months before moving on to the next.

but what should my expecations / planning be for the "off cycle season". i understand and accept some strenght/muscle loss.

but do i adjust my diet in this period to cut body fat, do i try and maintain what i got or do i try and increase what i gained?

i started at a SKINNY 64kg, this week standing on 79kg - the goal (for now) is to work towards a physique like Zyzz, with a bit higher BF.

here is my current macros plan - been on it from the get start up until now - should my carbs/fats decrease during off season?
Protein: 286g
Carbs: 246g
Fat: 67g

Calorie total: 2731kcal

Calculate your Maintenance TDEE on your new size and add 500 calories minimum to that to try and hold on to and mature as much of the new gains that you can. That should be priority number 1 after a cycle. To hold on to gains and mature newly acquired muscle. Don't cut after a cycle or during PCT. Cycling off and doing PCT already puts some stress on your system so cutting right after or during PCT is a shure fire way of getting your body to show you a big fat F You and chucking everything you worked for our the window. Remember the human body works on the use it or lose it principal. I over simplified there in a big way...

During and after PCT keep your weights heavy and low reps 5-8 and your sessions short that is an effective way of also boosting testosterone levels and anabolism...

Good luck and keep pushing man. Eat big to get big

It is on you. It always has been...
