I could go to the toilet in a minute and loose 4lbs just like that lol. As i asked above what should i realistically get my bf down to before using a bulk cycle.....
My opinion is 12% or lower. Any higher, and you run the risk of just getting fat. The leaner you are, the more muscle you put on. The fatter you are, the higher percentage of fat gets added. So if you started at 10% bodyfat, 90% of your kept gains may be lean mass. But if you started at 20% bodyfat, only 50% of your kept gains may be lean mass (the rest being fat).

You should only be losing 1-2lbs per week maximum when dieting. Any more and you're likely losing lean mass too. It IS a very slow process unfortunately, but it didn't go on overnight.
