Cycling kcals in recomp

[Shadow Project]

Currently coming out of a slow n steady cut at 3500-3600 kcals, which is about 500 kcals below maintenance. My plan is to recomp now for bit because I am currently really busy so no time to get the most out of a bulk or a cut and only have time to workout 3 times per week.
I never did a recomp so would it be best to have all days same kcals or better to have trainingdays high kcal and restdays low kcals. I incline towards the latter one to have more readily available energy and good recovery.

Hormone wise I am just coming out of a cruise and since Monday on 600 testosterone and 200 trenbolone. Will increase tren over time

It is up to you honestly as long as u bump ur kcals lil by lil maybe 50-100kcals per week or every two weeks till u reach ur maintenance if u are doing cardio I would dial some sessions down or minutes down ...what u want is still lose some weight despite the increase in kcals it happens.

I've had decent success with the latter. What I do is multiply my daily calories by seven days to get my total calories for the week and then play with the training days and off days so they still equal that.

So if you're at 4000 per day maintenance and 28,000 per week your training days might be something like 4500 and off days like 3500 depending how many days a week you train. Or if you trained most days have less calories on the easier training days or smaller muscle groups and more on the heavier days or larger muscle groups.

Yeah that's what I would do before when I was in a cut myself but he wants to reverse so I would climb back up lil by lil till I get to maintainace.

I could see wanting to do it that way. I'm usually not so precise as I train pretty well entirely for strength, but occasionally get the urge to diet down to having visible abs. Usually when I get injured and can't lift heavy lol.

On a cut though throw in some HGH daily and fasted cardio a few days a week with a few hours fasting after and watch the fat melt off. It's pretty easy to cycle your calories that way just skip breakfast on the fasted cardio days.

Thanks for the input guys.

Just an update from my side, currently still working out 3 times per week. 3 days a week I eat 4500 kcals, 4 days a week 3600 kcals.

The high days+increased AAS loaded my muscles full of glycogen and I look really big and lean at the moment, sitting at 107-108 kg so I gained approx 4 kg in 2 weeks due to this. Weight seems to stabilize now and I hope to be able to see some changes happening over time. So far it feels really good to have the high and low days, glad I am a pretty big guy so I can eat a lot and still be in a deficit on those days.

I've been thinking about adding in hGH to my stack, but maybe I first want to milk out MK677 because it is A LOT cheaper.

If I want to speed up the process I might consider doing fasted cardio on non-training days. It would be good for my general health anyways to add in some cardio. Skipping breakfast is something I always do because else I just have to eat too small portions...
