Changing diet mid cycle

[kolejorg]

Over the last 5 weeks I've put on as of today 27lbs. Increased body fat from 12 to 14.5. Most notably around my love handles. I've been considering pushing my cycle to 8 weeks as my bp is fine and aside from oily skin I've had no sides. I'm running halodrol at 100 and stano at 1000. Question is can I go from surplus calories for a bulk to maintenance without issues.

Yes. And 8 weeks is fine

I assumed it would be alright. But it's been a long time since I've been this heavy and I was more concerned about losing my gains. But I thought if I went to maintenance prior to ending the cycle it'd be ok to stay there through pct and not worry about losing too much.

I wouldn't lower cals right before and in pct for sure. I would lower cals a little and clean them up for final 3 weeks Tho

Thanks man. I think I'll give it a shot. I can always cut after pct if it doesn't feel right over the next 3 weeks.
