I'd rather get down to 12-13% bf, bulk on gear, make lean gains, and still be at 12% or lower at the end of the cycle. If done correctly you'll lean out even more. In your case, youre going to go on a major cal defecit and still make gains, but miss out on some good gains you'd get from bulking or recomping. I like getting the most out of my gear. Building muscle is hard as fuck and takes some serious time. Leaning out to 13% isnt that hard. Ill let the gear help build muscle and my diet/cardio burn the fat. But thats me. To each their own
