So I have 8 days left on this 12 weeker. My current cals are at the 5500 mark and I’m sitting at 212 as of today up from 180 about 25 weeks ago. It’s been a long ass bulk but I feel like I’ve taken it orettt slow and gained some solid mass. I’ll be cruising about 5-6 weeks before switching to cut mode.
I obviously don’t want to just drop my cals way down right away when I switch to cruising. I think that is a big mistake people make (whether you cruise or do pct). I want to keep them up so I can maintain the size I’ve put on for the next 5-6 weeks before cutting.
With the gear being way less switching to a cruise I’m sure it makes sense to drop them some so I’m not just going to be adding a ton of fat since my body won’t be using up the food as well.
My question is… where is that happy medium to drop them to? Should I wait 2 weeks while the cyp and dhb clear out before dropping, and once that happens drop down to maybe 5000? 4500?
Of course there is no exact science but curious to hear some input. @PHD know you’d have a lot of experience with this since you compete. Any pointers on what works best for you?
