Body Fat Concern for Test E Cycle

[Eggs999Bacon]

Almost began my Test E cycle, but decided to put it off for more research concerning bodyfat. I have about 22% bodyfat. I was wondering if running Test E might be a bad idea with the chance of running into gyno problems with the higher percentage of bodyfat and if I will look even more bloated than before...

What are your thoughts, should I try to shred down then begin the cycle? Also I am concerning this with the summer season shortly approaching so I want to look as best as possible (minimal bloat).

Thats a tough 1 dude, most will say to get your BF down before you start but many have done cycles with high BF and ended with great results.

Remember it's all about your diet when on cycle not the gear. I myself started a Test E cycle at 21% BF and managed to go down to 16% but i did a shitload of Cardio and diet was tweaked down to the last calorie.

I also wasn't looking to bulk but more shape my muscles and drop fat- which i did nicely.

What are your stats and training history?

22% is a bit high and yes you would run a higher chance of getting gyno. With a higher bf you'll look a little bloated on test. I would try to drop bf naturally with diet and cardio before using test.

Agreed^^^^^...test could cause gyno and WILL BLOAT you, at that bf....

What bf% should you get down to before you start your cycle? I just bought a caliper today to measure my body fat. I was 25lbs lighter than I am now before I started my cycle. I'm 5 weeks into my Test Enth 500mg weekly cycle, and I have between 16 and 18% body fat. It's hard to tell with this little plastic deal. Does this sound okay for a Test cycle? I hope so since I'm already half way through it.

Awhile back I read somewhere the 15% or less is a good point. No offense to anyone but if youre over 20% it's clear that you don't know much about eating, and you should work on that before using gear.

This thread is a bit old, but what kinda results did you get? How many calories were you eating?
