is it ok to cut straight after you have finished PCT?

It definitely beats a drastic drop in calories in one shot. However i'd still wait a solid month even before doing this.

Cutting straight away would very likely result in you losing most if not all gains. Hormone levels will be out of whack and you need to get that right. Even after PCT, you need to give your body time to adjust to 'normal' levels again IMO.

Cutting when appropriate doesn't have to result in much if any LBM loss... if it's done properly. For now, i'd focus on an aggressive PCT (what are your plans?) and sticking with your cycle calories/macros throughout. The drop to maintenance for a while and use the time to plan out an intelligent cut.

Ok so im good to go after four weeks, I may as well wait til after xmas then, enjoy my food over the holidays. Thanks GB I appreciate your expertise. Think I will start my cut the day after boxing day (2 days after xmas)

Not necessarily, and don't take my word for it. There's no magic number. Chances are you'll be fine but you definitely need to monitor yourself closely and bump calories again if you appear to be losing mass and/or strength what is significant.

There ya go, that's the spirit!!!
