How much muscle can you gain on gear while on a deficit?

[hsstar]

Can you still gain muscle on gear (if it's your first time) while on a ~300kcal deficit? If yes, will you gain as much as someone on a bulk + gear or prolly not?

prob 10-15 lbs... in a couple months

you should bulk doe ideally so you get all the mass you can, then cut offcycle

It's not a good idea to get lean your first cycle you need to be bulking, since you'll gain significantly more mass on a bulk pushing the needle, but the short answer is yes you can, but it's more complicated than that. with a smaller trt dosing like idk 200 test weekly, a few pounds of lean mass is a given even in a deficit. If you want to push the envelope and do something more advanced like 300 test and 250 tren or some dbol, you will probably get more like 5-10 pounds lean mass in a few months. But genetics are the biggest factor, 400 test gained me mass absurdly fast like 30 pounds in about 1.5 months and I wasn't really tracking calories but I was in a small surplus probably. given most of it is glycogen retention it explodes your endurance and power, so just bulk your first cycle its more fun
