    Around 10-12% I would say.

    The higher the BF, the higher risk you have at gyno and usually higher BF means your diet isn't in check (not always true however)

    Nice article from Matt Porter here: Click dat shit

    Talks about why cutting with gear is going to be more beneficial than bulking with it.

    I completely disagree with the concept of a specific bf % one needs to attain in order to run a cycle.

    Personal goals can vary. For instance, someone looking to gain huge amounts of weight and strength for powerlifting would have a different viewpoint of where they would "need" to be before starting a cycle.

    Well for my first cycle I was at like 15% and after 12 weeks I was at 10-11%. So it's possible to cycle at a higher body fat if you are strict with diet and cardio and still make strength gains. I guess it depends on your goals as mentioned above.

    Annywhere around 15%,higher than that you have to lower it the natural way...
    The more harder and difficult is the road that lead to success,the greater is the gift and reward at the end of that path...

    I encourage it for the reason that we usually see less sides in someone with a lower bodyfat percentrage.
