its just my last cycle i gained 18lb looked good but didnt feel fit enough to carry it i lost half of that due to water & bad diet ive learnd alot since then but just thought if i could get as fit as poss & my bf right down i would be in a good position to start piling on good quality muscle so yuos recon 8-9 weeks is to long without lifting a weight what about 4 weeks or do you think thatil have the same affect ?

keep lifting even if it is slightly lighter, doing cardio will not excercise slow twitch muscle fibres, you will loose strength and volume.

On the contary, I would employ a basic Powerlifting Routine Twice a week, to try and maintain as much size/strength while dieting. Brief and Intense, so as not to sap your bodys recuperative abilities to much.

Straight from the Mike Mentzer school of thought mate...

He was the most underated pro of his day IMO (even though he did win the olympia)

While everyone else was working out 6 days a week for 2 hours a go. He won the olympic training 3 times a week at 40 min a pop...

Sounds good to me.
