Body Fat % before first cycle

[siklude78]

Hello All,

I just wanted to ask a quick question, I'm new to this board and was going to start my first cycle mainly to enter my first competition next year in June or July. The question is how low does my BF% need to be before I start the cycle, my stats are as follows:

Age- 32
Weight- 215
BF%- 13-15%
Height- 6'
Training- over 10 years

Thanks in advance!!

Are you looking to cut or bulk?

looking to gain size while keeping BF as low as possible, my diet is getting more strict as I prepare to jump into the game. I just want to gain very quality muscle and be able to shred up within 12-16 weeks while I diet down.

There is no answer set in gold but at your stats you are eligible to start cycling between 13-15%

I'm assuming your goals are you bulk since your competition is next June.

With that being said, a simple Test cycle will do just fine.

Keep that diet in check and utilize the right Ancillaries to avoid water/Gyno.

OK, sounds great..I have been doing some research for years but just kept getting tied up with family, life ect. more than likely I will run test cyp or test prop for 12 weeks along with a proper PCT of armidex, does this sound about right? and how many cycles would I have to run to enter my first competition? would just the test, diet, cardio and rest be enough? thanks for the reply BTW

AI's are not needed during PCT.

Blood work prior to get a baseline comparison from post-PCT blood work.
12 weeks Cyp @ 350mg-400mg total per week.
14+ Clomid/Nolva
Aromasin @ 10mg EOD during cycle to control water/gyno
Celery seed extract 75mg 2X per day to assist in blood pressure
Vitamin C 3000mg PD
Lipid Stabil (3 caps/day) and Fish Oil (4 g/day) for cholesterol
Post blood work 1-2 months after PCT.
