weight + BF pre cycle

[Levani]

hi. i have a question. i know that lower your bf is pre cycle less sides you have and less fat you have to cut post cycle. but what if you 5,10 and 175 lbs with 12-13%bf. and you could drop more weight to reduce BF. would it be wise to go down 170lbs or is it better to go up lets say 180-185lbs with a bit higher bf? what would you do... go up, down or stay at current weight and BF. gol is to put as much lean mass as possible.

My 2¢ would be to get to the point where the only way you get better is with aas. If that means get bigger then do that. But do it in a healthy way. ie good diet/training. On the other band if your size is maxed out then get to your leanest point and then start. Make sense?
