post Bulking cycle... when to cut?!?!?

[Lecent83]

I know it's commonly referred to as muscle suicide to cut after a bulking cycle. my question is;

In what amount of time is it no longer "suicide" to cut fat?

stats:
27
6'4"
260-265lbs
approx: <20% BF

I'm a marine and running has been ingrained into me, so not running 4-5 miles 3 times a week while on cycle was killing me. now that I'm off and coming up on pct i want to hit the trail A.S.A.P. with out destroying my gains.

do not start cutting while on pct. keep lifting just as hard as you were before. after pct you can start a cut if you want. i would suggest no more than 500cal below maintenance cause you dont want to lose a lot of the muscle that you just put on with the bulk.

I would suggest waiting 4-6 weeks after PCT before you start to cut. Your hormones need to fully recover (hopefully) before beginning a cut.
