Looking to start my first cutting cycle soon but I'm still doing some research. Where do you guys usually look for reliable products and how do you check if a source is trustworthy?

can’t really help with sourcing tbh, that’s not my lane. if you just mean a regular cut, you don’t need much. a slow deficit, high protein, heavy lifting and maybe creatine and caffeine. for supplements, i only buy stuff with third party testing, like NSF or Informed Sport labels.

Honestly, I'd never rush into a first cycle without understanding the risks. Better to do your research than regret it later.

not touching the sourcing part, sorry. if you’re still researching, i’d slow down and get a baseline first, like bloods and blood pressure. besides a first cut doesn’t need much anyway. a steady deficit, high protein and heavy lifting do most of it for me

Appreciate it bro! The NSF and Informed Sport labels are worth looking into. Still doing my homework before making any decisions.
