Droping BF% before cycle or During?

[Jimmy.Boy]

So...
My question is :

If I was going to do a cycle and my bodyfat was too high(16%). Would it be cheating to run some clen and drop some bf before jumping on the cycle(10%)?

or

could or Should I run the clen at the begining of the cycle?

2nd cycle will be
Test E 1-12
Test P 1-4
Deca 1-10

PCt in order as well

27
180lbs
14-16%

It wouldnt be cheating at all..infact it would be smart...you can do cycle and revise your nutrition and it would work aswell...add some cardio....

Cardio is a bitch when I'm on clen..

Running clen alone won't be enough though. Like he said. Revise your diet.

its better to lower bf before cycling especially if your cycle is to bulk. 16% isnt too bad, I doubt you need to lose more than 5lbs to get into acceptable/optimal range

I have always cut bodyfat before cycle...the reason is because if your diet isnt in check, you can actually gain some bodyfat while on a cycle.

thats what I was thinking.
When I ran my prev/1st cycle, my bf% was a little high and I think if it was lowwer I would have had more quality gains and less sides.
