Cutting cruise dosage?

[monkey_boy]

2 weeks into a cut.
On TRT of Test-c 160mg/wk and Deca 100mg/wk.

I upped the test to 200mg/wk.

Is that enough to avoid losing much muscle mass during the cut?

Rocking a 500 cal/deficit or so… and still lifting 5 or 6 times a week. 2 weeks in, my progress seems to be harder (not adding weight or reps much) but also not needing to drop the weight or reps.

It’s definitely enough to prevent muscle loss, main thing is keeping protein as high as possible and training smart. If you want to get more out of the same test dosage, add proviron at 25mgs a day. It will lower SHBG and increase free and bio available test.

It really depends on the amount of lean mass you’re trying to protect, and the severity and duration of the caloric deficit but I use this cutting cycle I found a million years ago from a T-Nation article; using it now actually with great results:

300 mg test c or e /week 1-12
300mg tren e or hex /week 1-12
50mg Winstrol per day /week 7-12
50 mcg day T3
EDIT: I also use MK-677 but don’t recommend this if you are new to it as the hunger pangs from it in the first few weeks of first time use require an iron will to withstand.

I do the pins 3/week and notice less sides vs. 2/week.
If you decide to try it and you’ve never used tren or winnie before, go with only 1 of them, saving the third compound for the next cut so you know how you react to the individual addition. Anavar would work well in place of Winstrol but cost/benefit ratio is not worth it imo unless your capping your own from raws or you suffer dry joints from the winnie (I don’t).

100mg of test a week is enough to prevent muscle loss.

Unless you’re eating 1k cals you’re fine. No need for deca.

Yeah, not looking to make this a cycle, just don’t want to lose much. Guess I’ll stick to my protocol. The 160 test/100 Deca is Dr. prescribed, so I’ll stick with it. Thanks!

Stick to your trt, you can keep a good amount of mass with just trt.
