Going to star my first cycle soon, cycle will be 200mg of test e e3d for 12 weeks. A little unsure of how much i should up my diet. I want to get big but i don't want to carry too much fat. i understand to get big you must carry a little fat, a saying i used to go by during my bulk is "if the abs are showing you aint growing". i never really lost definition in my mid section completely but it was a little mental helper to remind me its just part of the process. everyone has a fitness goal, if i had to pick a person to describe my goal it would be steve cook. (i want to get big but not phill heath big)
currently 180 pounds about 12% bf


now, I am a macro counter. I understand how to count macros and how to adjust macros accordingly to meet a goal. i was blessed with being able to eat pretty much anything i want and not dramatically be effected by it (doesn't mean i do it). when i bulk not on cycle i normal take in
180-200 protien
375- 425 carb
60-75 fat
depending on what I'm trying to hit at that moment.
with these macros i can gain 1-3 pounds a week naturally
my question is, when I'm on cycle should i up these numbers? should i try to take in as much as possible?
any input would be great.
 
If you can gain 1-3 pounds naturally a week I wouldn't even touch steroids cause that's the rate I gain while on gear.... Plus in calculating your top end numbers that's only 3300 cals a day (my maintenance at 180lbs 5'8) so if you are gaining with that amount you defiantly don't need gear. While on i take in about 300p 500c and 100f if I am bulking which is around 4100 cals and that'll get me about 2 pounds a week.

I'm sorry i goofed in my post, i meant month not week. at those numbers i can gain a solid 1-3 pounds a month. in the beginning of a bulk i might put weight on a little faster but after about four weeks its down to 1/2 pound a week give or take a little
