Increasing Calories while on cycle?

**animal23** · 04-25-2019, 04:22 PM

I have done cutting 2 different ways. I have kept fats moderate before will low carbs and moderate carbs with minimal fat

Most pro body builders like minimal fat with highest carbs while cutting. If you can keep carbs in there and keep getting leaner, you should grow some depending on gear. This is what is working really good for me. But, it's not healthy to live on very little fats. I still function fine, until last week I knocked myself out doing vaccums. That's another story lol

My current carbs are at 200g. I may even add more in. Everyone's different! Gl brotha!!

I could write five paragraphs on how I tie my shoe. But you know what it would be entertaining and fun to read

Don't you have your winning contest trophy to go polish?

Feels good to win a contest doesn't it. Of course you got to play to win. I guess that's one draw back as I can never play in a contest again. But I do enjoy hosting them. I love to play Robin Hood. I run a contest without the boss's permission LOL. And then I'll send him the winner in the address. I'm stealing from the rich and giving to the poor

My carbs are higher than they’ve ever been. I just started raising them. I’m at 400g on lift days. Kind of an all out blitz to get to 210 before I dial back to recomp type calories to shred up a little. Full disclosure: I’m running slin 3x a day with the carbs.
I’m glycogen loaded, full and wet as fuck!

Cheers for all the mixed response's, i defiantly didn't expect to get that many reply's to be honest.

OK first thing first, it was late and i was tired when i posted the original post.. i should have included more info and reasoning behind my question and accept the few response's i got that where kind of blunt in regards to the "upping the protein a given".

My thought process behind the upping the protein (i would be upping fats/carbs also) was due to Protein synthesis and the affects the gear will have.. that is all. i was looking for personal theory's and personal input on what people have actually done, Now i didn't stat what my stats are or my goals are either which is obviously a major part in my question.

stats below, Hoping to put on and retain around 15lbs - 22lbs (7kg - 10kg)
5.5" (168cm)
187lbs (85kg)
body fat - Guessing 18% - 20%
3200 calories per day
Cycle will be basic as it is my first - 500mg Test E p/w

Appreciate the responses so far BOP
