Hey guys. When you cruise, do you try and maintain your weight and make it look tighter? Or do you prefer to do a mini cut and lose about 10lbs or so?
i would do it just the other way around especially if you are running long esters. first 2 week light cut still have some anabolic load then 4 week maintain to not lose anythingHow about both?
Say a cruise is eight weeks or six weeks or three weeks.
Eight week cruise you could maintain weight for five weeks , then tighten it up , last three weeks.
Sounds good, whatever works best for you. All in context, if coming off a competition, of course not. If want to lose a few pounds body and face fat, nice lil short mini cut can really help stay leaner, focus on more displined good choices, like cutting out pizza a couple weeks.

What? do you mean most bodybuilders aren’t crushing on Trt 175mg per week?most of the cycles here are smaller than the crusie of real bodybuilders so what's the difference
half the cycle, double the life expectancy of real bodybuildersmost of the cycles here are smaller than the crusie of real bodybuilders so what's the difference
I like your name bro, my other SN is Asmodeus lol . good post btwYou have 3 stimulus: calories, mechanical tension, and drugs.
Now if you tried to cut when drugs are lowest, you’ve removed all 3 stimulus.
This is a recipe for regression.
John Jewett did a good post about this
Maintenance (cruise) is lowest dose needed to maintain
Fatloss is above maintenance, enough to maintain tissue.
Off season peak dosing to drive new growth.
That’s awesome. I actually proposed Asmodeus as a boys name to my wife, she wasn’t having it lolI like your name bro, my other SN is Asmodeus lol . good post btw
This IMO is the best approach for the long run. What would you think about not using slin during the blast but introducing it in the cruise to add an extra stimulus when AAS dosages are lower? Most would probably use it during the pushing phase I assume.You just spent time, effort, and drugs to BUILD muscle...and you immediately want to LOWER the dosage and lose the fat? Not a good recipe.
New tissue accrued during that time will probably be the first to go. Dante has said it before, but you have to let your new weight "marinade" for a bit, lets your body get used to it. Try get a new set point.
JP actually had a really good method of pushing dosages hard and getting to new BWs. Growing.
Then cruising for a bit, holding onto the new tissue. Then, when he blasted again, he would spend the first 5-6 weeks tightening up and dieting, it would sling shot him back into a rebound pretty well. The only difficult thing there is JP was lean enough where 5-6 weeks was enough to cut. The average dude needs 10+ in order to get lean.
