I am 5 weeks into this cycle and up 20lbs. I feel like my body is getting used to this routine. I was thinking about dropping some calories and doing just cardio for about two weeks
Change it up a bit and drop some bf%. Doing this has worked good in the past but I would like some input. Thanks

What are your calories at right now? Nothing wrong with upping cardio to get that recomp effect!! I would highly recommend you stay on your lifting routine though just so you can keep gaining that quality muscle. My best recomp was at 3200 calories a day, cardio 6 days a week, and lifting 5 days a week.

id suggest a walk in the AM or afternoon for about 30 min. i would do cardio seperate from weight training to stay anabolic. once you go over that 90 min mark, you start going catabolic, but again that wont be a problem with test. just cortisol........

when i cut down i like to gradually add in cardio and pick up the pace in the weights. if the diet is no junk you should see really good results. i used to see awesome results on test 500wk and doing 1 hour cardio a day.

HIIT woks a lot better that steady cardio. Id add it to your routine. Do it early in the morning with an empty stomach.
