id say 21 or 22 percent. id do a nice clean bulk then cut when you feel like your happy with your gains.

thanks man

I'd say lower to mid 20's somewhere. This is just me, but I couldn't bulk at that bodyfat percentage. I would cut down to a reasonable body fat and then bulk from there. It doesn't have to be 10% or anything, but I'd at least get down into the mid-teens before bulking.

gunna continue on my slow weight gain and put on another 2-3 pounds
just started 2nd cycle of all pros so I'll finish this cycle off same way (hard to lift heavier and not eat I get freaking hungry haha)

then start incorporating some HIIT and back off the calories for 12 weeks (I have a ton of ephedrine and affine from few years ago maybe jump on ECA for last 4 weeks)
putting me into june and hopefully 12ish% body fat and retain some lean mass then do another nice clean slow bulk


I dropped down to 145lbs at one point few years ago and I don't ever want to be that small again...I still feel small now (which I am haha) prolly why I am scared to cut

LIFT EAT SLEEP!!!

When I can haha have a 2 month year old boy, part of wanting to get back into shape so i can keep up with him in few years!

I'd cut to 10-12% and then start bulking. Fat tissue is known to produce estrogen, so I would get rid of that potential threat first.

20%+

Definitely start cutting now, get down to at least 15% then decide where you want to go from there...

Good Luck!

these were couple years ago but I guess decent reference to body fat since it is my body haha

Maybe i will start some cardio on off days now keeping food intake normal for next 6 weeks and go from there and adjust calories to shred might be all I need to start getting rid of some chub as I havn't started cardio and just started the weights 6 weeks ago
