How do enhanced bodybuilders prepping handle the scale on a cut?

[Crixus000G]

I have followed both natural bodybuilding and also non tested shows. I was curious how most coaches handle enhanced bodybuilders when it comes to dieting for a show? Natural bodybuilders follow usually the scale dropping on a consistent basis, but I have seen enhanced bodybuilders who end up a few lbs less than their bulk, but cut dry and and incredible conditioning. Was curious how they handle adjustments in calories and cardio...I am assuming it would be by the mirror or measurements?

Really it's not so different than not being on PEDs, you can just leverage knowing you're going to keep more mass by the time the show comes from the anabolic effects from the compounds you take. Having a coach who can pin point comp changes helps knowing if you need to reduce or increase cardio and/or calories.
