what was your bodyfat % during 1st cycle?

[louisiana]

I know alot of people willn't be honest about this but i was wondering what was your bodyfat percentage for your first cycle? Im hearing alot of people giving advice that you need to have a low percentage to start juicing. What is a low enough bodyfat % to start juicing. I was 195lbs when i started 13% bodyfat.

I was 14% and no problems

I was around 200 13-14% bf. Ended up around 210 with maybe a slight drop in bf

Honestly, the lower the bf% the better for health reasons, Blood Pressure, and more estrogen release and aromatization due to the higher fat content. But, if you are in good health and have your diet and training in check, as long as youre keeping track of your overall health, you should be ok, just dont be at 25% bf and think youre heart and all will hold up.

Both my cycles I started around 15% and ended up lower in bf and higher in muscle mass with a good diet and AM cardio along with my lifting.

7%. if you click on my profile you can pick out the before picture very easily.

i have never been under 10% since however.. .. mass and strength are important to me, and being only 5 6 if i lost anymore weight and fat i wouldn't be able to throw the amount of weight around i do now. heck right now I am only 183 pounds with around 14%.

anyway the bottom line is don't worry about what your body fat is or what the scale says.. results speak for themselves. i like my body more now at a higher bf than before at 7%. i'm stronger and i demand more respect from people..

also i agree 100% with legacy, you need your bf% to be in the mid teens or lower to juice for health reasons. people who complain about insomnia or high bp can head that advice most... those symptoms can cripple your workouts and if you can't sleep than you are in trouble in this sport.. i always do a lot of cardio before a cycle so my heart is healthy and strong
