50-70 fat is fine
With the end in sight for this cycle I am starting to think ahead for the next go. I can’t start the next run until September/October due to work and bloods to stay on my prescription TRT. My summer workload will likely keep me within 5-10 pounds of my finished body weight with a maintenance phase through July and August.
Looking like I can squeeze in another 14-16 weeks before needing to come back down. This would time perfectly with my typical bulking/growth season. That gives me about 10-12 weeks on a normal TRT dose,
Currently thinking of trying 350-400mg test cypionate while on the bulk. My thought process is the cut went extremely well once e2 was figured out. I lean on the higher aromatizing side and I am not quite ready for the 2nd injectable to manage e2 like EQ, Primo, or Mast. Thoughts on this?
I am also sitting on a supply of Tbol that I would like to use at some point. After that I won’t be buying any more orals.

you can start going with TRT and add peptides right
for now until sept, you consider it?for sept you can go with Test with eq nice one!
@LevButlerov
Not sure I am ready for EQ, not looking to be a contest bodybuilder just yet. Completely happy with the Jacked Dad look for now. This journey started for performance over aesthetics which I know EQ can help. 3rd/4th cycle that becomes more of a possibility for sure.
What peptides would you recommend? I know a decent bit about them but never really considered them with the exception of Reta.

eq is more of e2 control tbh but its not required @Jonmarc doing test+hgh is just fine as well
peptides, GLP1 for sure like retatrutide and SLU PP 332 is a good one for you read this over @Jonmarc

@LevButlerov You definitely have me thinking more about trying some peptides. I appreciate all of the guidance you have given, definitely been a big help on the learning curve with this cycle. Pretty excited for the next.
Slu-pp: What’s recommended oral or injectable and at what doses? What supplier is best for domestic shipping in US?
EQ: If I were to consider EQ on the next round. What’s a good starting point if I go with 400 test cypionate per week?

I suggest you get all peptides from USA made Umbrella labs https://umbrellalabs.is @Jonmarc
SLU PP go oral if you can easier tbh
eq i would say 100mgs to start with 400mgs start
Had a crazy week at work last week with training, cafeteria food, and dorm room like living. I was unable to accurately track macros or calories. Focused on high protein foods and did my best with the little control I had. Came back up 3 pounds but this seems to be mostly water weight, I look and feel full. Muscle bellies are popping but I don’t look quite as cut likely a flux in carbs. I did manage to get into the gym for four days but a different routine.
With all that going on this week is going extremely well. Day 1 was strong with back & bi’s. Today’s Chest and tri was absurd. I felt strong, had lots of endurance, and the reps were through the roof.

you're much leaner in the new pic amazing
love the pull ups and planks keep going hard!
@Jonmarc give you a lot of credit on this. The skull crushers look really good and so do the planks. Keep up the good work.
Those planks are definitely no joke. Holding them for over a minute is impressive. @Jonmarc
Looks like you're doing a fantastic job on this. @Jonmarc really enjoy reading the skull crushers and really enjoy seeing that you are doing those pull-ups as well.
Really like a good solid core training session. Honestly you can do a lot of damage just on pull-ups and just on planks for the day. You don't even have to do anything else and you did on top of it. @Jonmarc
@Jonmarc Looking great bro! Hard work pays off!
@Jonmarc volume is legit...keep it up....

Staying on point during the last week of the cut. Going to miss my mark of 12% but not by much. Less than a percent if I had to guess. Indefinitely the leanest I have been in years and maintained most of my muscle. With a little longer cut/runway, 10-11% is doable without Reta, clen, t3 or anything like that.
I learned more about carb cycling these last few weeks, swapped some primary foods out for better options. Cutting in the busiest season of my work adds some hiccups that had me miss my mark but given it’s a performance based field I will take the compromise.
Progress photos coming later this week.
13 Week Cut/recomp - realized 2-3 weeks in I had to just go for the cut and build back after
Starting Weight: 185
Starting Body Fat: 17% likely underestimated
Predicted Outcome
Body weight: 170 pounds
Body Fat: 12.5-13.25%
Calories: 2400/2600 Rest/Lift Days
Still planning ahead:
Slu-pp is on the radar for a bridge before next TRT bloods
Highly considering adding EQ for a fall bulk with 400mg test cyp for 16 weeks.

big incline bench
200 to 110 big drop good you learned about carb cycling you going to do it?
and do you have pics please?
@Jonmarc when you put together this type of consistent training, then good things happen. Keep it going. By the end of this you are going to be definitely close to 10%.
Bros, excellent job on this. Skull crushers are no joke and I like how you add in the drop set. That really forces growth. @Jonmarc
Keep up the good work on this. @Jonmarc skull crushers look fantastic. And I love that you are setting a goal to get lean and mean. I love it.
55lbs each arm for the warm up, 100’s for the full sets. It’s just how I track it in Hevy as a total weight. For 170 pounds body weight they were moving really well!
Last week, I don’t think I will hit the 10% this round but feeling really good. Upper abs are getting sharper but lowers good use more cut to them. Photos coming after Friday.
The last three weeks I have been using more carb cycling especially on the training days. I got more to work on for sure but it has helped me keep calories lower while having enough energy on lifting days.big incline bench
good you learned about carb cycling you going to do it?
and do you have pics please?
Photos coming after Friday.
One step at a time
@Jonmarc you'll get leaner no problem if you take a look at what guys are doing on here and really learn from what's been successful. You'll find it a lot easier than you think. I like the Reta in your situation
good workouts overall. I like it. the goals are very doable, i have no doubt you will hit it. stay consistent that is the key @Jonmarc
