He said he started cycling again so that means he knows what hes doing. And you don't need a lower body fat to do cycles, I talk to all the bouncers at my work and they all have high bf, they just do the cycles for the strength.

I started with 20% and within 4 weeks dropped to 16% per calipers....on a bulking cycle at that!

Maybe I'm newer here than you guys, but ive read a whole lotta posts, and people have told me to lower bf. I'm at 20% and everyone has told me to decrease bf before even thinking of a cycle. When you have big muscle and a lot of bf it doesn't even look right. You cant even see the muscles. You just look big and fat.

Let me rephrase that. If I were to have big muscles and high BF I think I wouldnt look right.

I was just pulling your leg bro. I know what you mean. First thing I thought of when I read that was the World Strongman Comps. Most of those guys just look fat...but hella strong!!! Just depends on what your goals are I guess.
