Help! Timing peak condition for Summer '14
Hi,
I'm not actually going to compete, but I still need help reaching a peak condition at a certain time please.
Ever since I've started, I've been on this cycle where I reach peak leanness in the middle of the winter! It just tends to work out this way based on the rate at which I bulk and cut and when I first started bodybuilding.
I want to hit 8-10% bodyfat around June 1st 2014. The same condition as my avi pic (with more muscle, hopefully). Not contest lean, but definitely sub 10%.
Right now I'm at 15%-18% I'd say. If I cut now, I'd reach peak leanness in winter again (thinking a 3-5 month cut to reach this condition in my current state)!
So I was thinking of slowly continuing to bulk until around Nov 1st, and then starting a cut that would last about 6 months. That is the easiest way I can think of solving my problem and it gives me a shot at another 2-3 lbs of LBM before the cut (think I've gained about 7 LBM since this time last year).
What would YOU do? Pretend you're OK with not looking your best until the target date of 6/1/14. Being chubby in Fall really doesn't bother me much as long as I look good next Summer.

P.S. I've been on two 6 month cuts already, each has left me with a much better physique than I had before.
