Body Fat and Starting a Cycle

[jp1974]

Hey guys, thanks for the help with my question about subbing androgel for injectable test due to my travel schedule preventing me from traveling with needles. Sucks that I'm gonna have to wait to start, but that's probably ok. Ill just continue to work out and eat properly until I can. It seems my bf is probably a little high anyway. My stats are:

34 yo
5'9"
168
bf of 18%

I was planning on doing the basic Novice I cycle on this site. Which is

400 mg Test each week for 12 wks
20 mg of dbol ed for the first 4 weeks

Is a bf hovering around 18% ok for that cycle? Or do I need to get it down. I train pretty hard, so I'm less worried about that. And can and will manage my diet very strictly for the 12 weeks I'm on the cycle.

I eat healthy now, but Ill admit on the days I fly for overseas trips (usually 6 days a month) I'm not at all disciplined in my diet and don't eat enough and eat poorly. Which is prob the reason for the bf of 18% as I have a very strict diet about 4-5 days a week and then eat poorly and without regularity the others...

I'm a consultant and my international projects are pretty frequent the next 4 mos, but should slow down long enough to do a cycle around July. So what are the optimal numbers I should have prior to starting? And I'll make those my goal.

15% is the rule of thumb most use for starting, in your case that would mean dropping 6 lbs of fat to get to that number. You should be able to drop 6 lbs or more by July when you stated you wanted to start.
