I'm a huge advocate of running testosterone enhancers and cortisol reducers while cutting. You bust your ass so hard for the mass and strength that you have, and so many times people miscalculate their total macronutrients and over-do cardio and end of sacrificing muscle mass and strength as a result.
I have run cutting cycles with the original Hyperdrol and Retain products and have been able to actually decrease bodyfat, gain a bit of strength, and actually gain 2-3lbs of lean mass while cutting. The more testosterone you have, the easier it is for you to gain strength, lose bodyfat, and increase mass. The same goes for cortisol, but the less of it you have, the more mass you retain (hence the name) and the more fat you lose. If you're not familiar with them, here are a couple of brief product discriptions for you.
Here's some info on Hyperdrol-X2

Here's our product write-up for Retain 2.0
17b-triol designed by Anabolic Xtreme is a next generation leaning agent. It was developed to fight negative cortisol levels, keeping your body in a pro-anabolic state, to get you completely shredded. Stack with Hyperdrol? and
Mass FX for the most effective Xtreme muscle building stack available today.
17b-triol - THE KING OF CORTISOL CONTROL
Cortisol is a hormone made in the adrenal glands of the human body. Increases in cortisol are caused by acute physical and mental stress. When cortisol is released by the body, it causes a breakdown of muscle protein leading to a spike in blood sugar levels. This is the body's horrible solution for creating energy during times of stress. The end result of these actions are an increase in appetite, weight gain and muscle catabolism (your body eating it's own muscle for energy). 17b-triol (B-Androstenetriol) is a metabolite of DHEA and has been used for years to boost the immune system and for its cortisol lower effects. B-androstenetriol is between 100 and 100,000 times more active than its DHEA precursor metabolites leaving this compound as the champion of cortisol control. 17b-triol works against inactive cortisone and muscle eating cortisol glucocorticoids. In a nutshell 17b-triol lowers the negative cortisol levels in your body. Less cortisol and fat = more lean muscle!
Relora
A natural proprietary blend of a patented (U.S. Patent No. US 6,582,735) extract of Magnolia officinalis and a patent-pending extract from Phellodendron amurense. Relora is a natural stress and cortisol management ingredient that helps control stress-related eating and has the added value of being non-sedating. During open human and clinical trials no significant side effects were reported. The trials measure cortisol and DHEA levels in 12 patients with mild to moderate mental and physical stress. Elevated cortisol levels and depressed DHEA levels are associated with chronic stress. A two-week regimen of Relora caused a significant increase in DHEA (227%) and a significant decrease in morning cortisol levels (37%).
7-Keto DHEA
7-Keto DHEA improves lean body mass by reducing cortisol and increasing testosterone-to-cortisol ratios enabling the body to build muscle in a growth promoting environment. It has also been shown to increase your body's ability to burn calories. It is a non-hormonal, non-androgenic derivative of DHEA. 7-Keto DHEA has been shown to safely "rev up" the basal metabolic rate and thus "burn" calories more rapidly and continually throughout the day, even while resting, as well as inhibit the storage of fat within the body by controlling negative cortisol levels.
So why did we not include 7-Hydroxy DHEA
17b-triol metabolizes to 7-Hydroxy DHEA to some moderate degree on it's first pass so it was decided we would include 7-Keto DHEA for a more well rounded and balanced formula. With Retain all four major anti-cortisol agents will be generated. 17b-triol and 7-Keto DHEA are directly supplied in the formula. DHEA and 7-Hydroxy-DHEA are created from the actions of Relora and as a metabolite of 17b-triol. As a result, you get maximum cortisol coverage for all the major metabolites in the DHEA pathway. Each of which supplies its own unique benefit.
