When to cut?

[bigrobbo]

Its always better if you attack a cutting cycle if you have established a maintenance diet, no matter what diet you are running it will take around 6-8 weeks to imprint a maintenance diet onto the body, once you have done this you can start attacking that diet slowly to which the body will respond well to,

So once I finish PCT I should gradually reduce my calories until I reach maintenance level then stay at maintenance for 6-8 weeks to let my body adjust. Then go for a cut. Is this correct?.

Its always better to establish a maintenance diet, but that can be the diet what your using while in PCT, slowly attacking it is the key to reducing BF while maintaining muscle tissue.

When i talk about a maintenance diet i am referring to a diet whats been established for a number of weeks and not a diet whats only been run for 3 week and you have been swapping and changing diet for weeks on end, you need the body to know were its at before attacking BF, the body adjusts itself no matter what your doing but for best results in cuting BF away from the muscle you need to have that diet in place so the body isn't trying to adjust all the time, then let the natural way of cutting do its job, then slight adjustments will create a reduction in BF.
