Need some smart mf to help me. thought the org (place for the smartest ppl on earth).

Is it possible to cut during my first cycle and still achieve optimal muscle growth?

Given that hypertrophy isn’t strictly calorie-dependent, if I maintain a solid nutrient intake, plenty of protein and carbohydrates but remain in a caloric deficit, could I still maximize muscle gains?

Since anabolic steroids prevent muscle atrophy, and the main downside of cutting is the increased risk of atrophy, does that risk still apply when enhanced?

Any experts care to weigh in?

In my opinion if you just plan on a blast where you pct after I’d say don’t cut. Go into the cycle bulking from a relatively lean state. Don’t run stupid compounds that don’t help growth, and you’ll be good. Cutting should be done on cruise doses or very little compounds. Ex: 200mg test c +
75mg tren a

I plan on doing 500mg test e/week. I dont know if i'm lean enough, i can almost see my abs, visible veins everywhere, probably 14-15% body fat realistically

Yeah bulk on 500 test with some ai or throw eq in there. Then cruise at 200 test or pct with nolva and clomid

it will be very hard to cut on a first cycle because you will be hungry

just maintenance calories, you will gain so much muscle you will become lean

Reta and anavar
And do low volume training
