Losing weight on epi.. Can I start cutting?

Hey guys,

On a 6 week epistane/havoc cycle and despite my eating like a monster (3500 cal/day) I cannot seem to gain any weight. I look slightly bigger and measured a 1/2" increase in arm size but remain the same weight.
My question is: if I start cutting 3/4 way through my epistane bulk, will I lose the gains I made? And would it help me lean out?
Thanks in advance guys, y'all are always such great help!
 
shouldn't be a problem as long as there isn't any drastic change in diet.. slowly taper down.. maybe start with a 300drop for a week and see how it goes
 
I've definitely lost some fat. I've not gotten any smaller, but if my body says that it doesn't want to bulk on epi, maybe I should take what I can get and cut.

Why? If youre recomping already why change it....
 
Because I was going to start cutting after this cycle anyways. I was hoping I would gain 10+ lbs and then I could cut. But if I'm not going to make much mass gains I would rather just take this chance to go ahead and shred
 
I think its a bad idea.... you want to gain with epi and since youre not you want to cut, but youve seemed to have lost fat and added a 1/2 inch.... its really late in the cycle for a drastic change
 
How much do you weigh and what are your macros and training like? Are you doing cardio?

I weighed about 188 before cycle. 190 now. Was hoping to get to 200. I'm naturally extremely lean. I train every day. Almost every muscle group twice a week. And eat about 3500 cal a day. 3k on a bad day. And getting plenty of protein. Another reason for my decision to cut is the beach is coming up in a few weeks and would like to be cut for that. However if it's just a bad idea then I won't do if.
 
I guess my new plan is to try and finish the cycle bulking. Will bump up my calories and training. How long after this cycle should I wait before I begin cutting?
