That is one of the dumbest thing I have ever read on these forums. I'm sry man I know you said you've been in the game a long time but IMO you are giving out some bad advice.
I'm not saying you have to be ripped b4 you start a cycle but you should at least be in good overall health and body fat % is ONE of the indicators of that. So to say body fat % doesn't matter at all is a lil crazy to me.
thats like telling power lifters not to cycle because there not lean lol..i know you mean well but bodyfat is not a reason not to cycle...if routine and diet are spot on then to use the rest of the tools would be expected..now if ur 30% bodyfat and never touched a weight before then id expect them to drop dead
