Im not starting my cycle until my cut is over. Im at about 10-12% bodyfat right now so im going to start my bulk next monday. I want to start lean and stay lean.
Also, cardio is not necessary for cutting. A calorie deficit is all thats needed. Wether you choose to get the deficit from diet or cardio is totally optional. I usually slow bulk to around 13% bf and then cut down to around 10%. The only cardio i ever do is hill sprints every once in awhile if i feel like my body is getting sluggish
