Coming off a long off season bulk and Im finally ready to run my first proper cut, but Im getting stuck on how to actually lay it all out. Every log I read has people picking compounds in isolation, test prop here, a bit of mast there, an oral slotted in at the end, but nobody really explains how the gear timeline and the diet are meant to line up. Do you set the deficit first and slot the compounds around it, or build the cycle and match the diet to it? Ive put on a decent base of size this off season so the last thing I want is to crash it and lose half of what I built. For those of you whove done a few, how did you structure your first real cut with the compounds and diet as one plan rather than two separate things?
