Prefered BF for a cycle

[mtre9209]

What would the prefered BF% be to commence a cycle?
Also how do you work out your current BF%??????

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)

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

I agree, I was personally very excited when I found out matt was going to start releasing these articles, he even may have some peptide ones coming up.

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...

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