+1 Semper Fi and X2. When you put it like that, it makes it easy to understand just how much goes into optimizing the effects of a cycle.
For me, when I see someone at 20% or higher wanting to use gear I assume their goal is to be at a much lower percentage than they're currently at. Maybe 8-12% range. So why would you do a bulk? Why would you even consider raising your bodyweight if you have 20, 30 or more pounds of fat hanging off your body that you want to lose?
I am currently 14% BF. I am dying to start a bulk. Dying to eat oatmeal. Dying to eat carbs at more than 3 meals a day. I want to liberally put ketchup on my eggs. But, my goal is to eventually be about 20 pounds heavier and 10%. So how does increasing my bodyfat in order to bulk help me move toward my goals? Seems more like I'd be moving away from them if I ended up and running 17% and 20 pounds heavier.
Furthermore, if someone has a goal to be in the 8-12% range and they've had this goal for awhile, but have been unable to reach it and now want to use gear as a means of "providing an edge" to achieving their goal of being bigger and leaner, then not only do they fail to understand the role of AAS, but it also tells me that they don't have the necessary work ethic/discipline/knowledge to get to their goals. So adding in gear, as Semper Fi said, is only going to complicate things for this person.
I definitely wouldn't bulk at 20%. I wouldn't start a cycle at 20% either at this point because it would mean that I haven't been eating or training very well and it's always best to have some momentum going before you start at cycle.
Dying to be able to work whole wheat bread into my macros. I miss toast.
