Bulking Cycle questions/advice

[SouthWestie]

I finished my cut everyone!

Ended up looking seriously nasty at 8.3% 180lbs 5'10. First time I've been that lean and the first time I have really committed to a cut. However, for the next month, I'm going to cruise on TRT level test and let my body rest and recover.

After the R&R is up, I would like to transition from maintenance to a full-on bulk. I have only ever done dirty bulks, but this time I have the discipline to eat clean and at a small surplus correctly. I want to eventually get to a point where I am a lean 190-200lbs when I cut again.

I got a couple of questions for the experienced BB guys in here.

As for compounds, what do you recommend?
I've been looking at Deca, EQ, and DBol as some of the solid bulking compounds. Obviously a test base.
I was eating at a 40/40/20 Macro split during my cut, is this still good for bulking?
Or would you change this to something with higher carbs?
Tips and Tricks I may not know about?

I really appreciate all the help guys!

My suggestion for bulking is to not get too hung up on the compounds. Gear all does the same thing, builds muscle. Whatever compounds causes you the least sides and keeps you the healthiest without impacting performance. Test, Deca, and DBOL is notorious for high estrogen and is generally a recipe for disaster.

You may not believe me, but consider this.. Everyone responds to compounds differently, I happen to response AMAZING to anavar whether bulking or cutting. I actually get more strength from Anavar than Dbol or Anadrol, I swear to you. If you're stuck on using a wet compound like Deca...

Test
Deca
Anavar

Consider upping the carbs and lowering the fat and gauge your performance. If you're feeling too lethargic, switch back to the high fat intake. Your goal is to keep health optimal and performance optimal. If either of those fall out of range your defeating the purpose. I'm actually at the point that whether I'm bulking or cutting, I use Test, primo, and anavar. I feel great, look great and my health is spot on. Never get married to a compound based on others opinions!

Great advice, I seriously appreciate it. I am also on the list of fantastic responders to Anavar. I really love the compound.

I am pretty big nowadays in trying to use the lowest effective dosages for things now that I have matured a little more in the world of gear usage. I've upped my carbs pretty heavily in the last couple of weeks so we will see where that leads!
