I've heard before that you should diet down before starting a bulking cycle. Is this true? I've been putting on some weight, I'm now up to 175#. Should I diet to lose some fat before I start to bulk up on a cycle? | ||

Depends on how lean you are going into the cycle. | ||

Right now I'm at about 15% bodyfat. I feel like I should lose the weight, especially the fat covering my abs. I can still see my abs, but I also have the love handles, if you know what I mean. | ||

Depends on if you will be able to handle seeing your gut get at least 2 inches larger. If you diet down first it will not be as bad. I did not diet down last cycle but next one I will. ------------------ | ||

In that case I would spend 12 weeks cutting up. Just in time for summer so you might as well. Then hit the bulking cycle in the fall. You will be lean for summer and won't have to worry about fat when you hit your bulking cycle. |
