6 cycles under my belt, out for a year, need advice on BF%/AAS

Well, a gram + of test and stacked at 20%? Whatever sides you will normally get would become amplified. I would skip that option.

Go with your 1st option and cut like there is no tomorrow. You need to weigh the good and the bad. The good being muscle, and the bad being fat. Well, your fat loss would FAR outweigh your muscle loss. So the fat loss wins here, making it priority over losing less muscle. MUCH MUCH less.

Who cares if you lose 5lbs of muscle? At least you will be ready to cycle again and you can hit it hard. Lean bulking takes a lot longer than most people think. It's what I'm starting Oct. 1st, but im running through a 6 month cycle to achieve reasonable goals.

In closing, I say lose the body fat, then cycle. Every one of my previous cycles that SUCKED was a result of attempting to rush my results.

Maybe others can chime in with more opinions/options Either way, I think you have incredible potential and wish you the best of luck.

The more muscle I have added the less I can successfully add a year. My first year I added 20+ lbs of muscle and kept it. These days 5lbs of muscle gained and kept (and "kept" is the key word here) takes 4 to 5 months. Plus, a lot of research shows that when you diet hard like the keto you are suggesting, it takes a couple months afterward for your body to normalize to that weight and I have found that to be true. If you go straight from diet to gain your body adds the fat back fast so I'm thinking that even tho I would be 15% by december I would still have to wait a month or so for my body to normalize before I started a cycle and the first third or half of the cycle would be committed to regaining the muscle I lost during the diet. Also, keto jacks the kidneys.. so I eff up my kidneys and then throw two months of roids at em? Nah, I'd rather wait two months longer and keep the muscle if those are my only two choices.

I hope so! I'll wait a bit and then pester a couple of the vets to weigh in if nothing happens. Thanks for taking the time to jot down your input Austin!
