To keep cutting or not...first cycle prep

[The Tater]

So I’m 5’10 218lbs with 9 solid months of hitting the gym hard. Typically 5 days a week. My original goal was to get down to 200lbs and then run my first cycle. Test cyp 500mg pinning twice a week. My question is should I just hang out where I’m at until September and then run my cycle or keep dieting down knowing I’ll be gaining it right back anyways? All advice is welcome. I have made up my mind regarding my September timeline and the first cycle.

Youll be much happier with the result of you keep cutting. Cut hard until september(?) then go on a surplus on cycle.

care to post up a pic tater? irregardless of height 218 can look a lot different on different people!

losing 18 pounds in 2 months then gaining it right back is junk weight.

at least in my experience it is

I would suggest getting as lean as you can prior to going on cycle.

I’ve still got a ways to go as far as leaning out.

keep at it brother, dial up that cardio and dial in that diet for a bit longer before you join the dark side :32 (10):

Yea keep cutting, Jin said it best

Keep it going brother. You’ll be much happier if you wait til you’re a bit leaner. But you’re doing great.

I don't know anything about the cycle part.

I have learned a lot cutting weight these last couple of months. Seeing it through to the end goal seems like the most beneficial path to me. If for nothing more than the blueprint of how my body can be stripped of fat the quickest and healthiest way.

What is mission critical about September to start your first cycle? You are getting results for what you are doing ... but honestly your diet likely needs some modification ... hey its brave to post up a pic .. so don't take that the wrong way... just saying in my opinion that you'll benefit from your cycle most once you dial in your diet ...

I'll add, begin your cycle when your physically ready ...not based on a schedule ... you'll only get one 1st cycle ... make the most of it!

the better shape you come into the cycle the better results will be by far..You need to keep training until u burn a little more fat then do a nice test and var cycle

 

[Bro Bundy]

my advice is go hard on cardio for a good 3-6 months..One hour every morning and 30 min right after weights

You got some good shape & size going for you there.

Youre ready to recomp cycle now imo

any more cutting off cycle at this point is gunna be wasted muscle mass & skin sag
