Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I need some advice before I start a cycle. This will be only my second cycle and I was pretty trim before it. Now, I've gained well, too many, pounds of fat and I wonder if I should trim those first, especially because I know I will gain some fat if I eat right. I have also heard that my body will shed the fat away anyway, even if you start with excess pounds. Note: I have no idea what my BF % is right now....only that its too high. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Lose body fat before cycle?

I have a book bro. It has a bunch of charts in it. It's not 100% but it's pretty damn close. Wanna know yours?

When you are at a higher BF% your body will gain fat easier than someone who is lean.
Someone who is already lean can lose the body fat easier, if they put it on bulking.
It makes sense for you to get yourself down to 10-12%. I wouldn't say don't do a cutting cycle. But wait for the bulker after you have lost some good bf%.
Your body will become less insulin resistant at a lower bf%. So when you go for the bulker, you actually are giving yourself a better shot of using insulin in your favor to build muscle.
