Am I looking good to cycle soon?

Hey Im looking for some input as to whether or not Im looking good to start a cycle soon (not sure which one, would be my first cycle). Im 193 pounds, roughly 15% bodyfat. Im training on a 7 day split, as for dedication... I can probably count the days I missed lifting this year on one hand. I've always went by the philosophy train hard and get results, I don't waste time asking for advice often (except for now, i don't take cycling lightly). As for diet, I've been eating 4500+cals and 220+ grams of protein... I started bulk season early this year. From lurking around this site, I understand diet is a major part of cycling. I was planning on simply eating as much as I can, with 2g protein per lb body weight as a target... Id cut after the cycle is over with.

Now for a timeframe, Im 18 right now. I want to make more natty gains before I begin to cycle (Id like to hit around 210 natty, and let my naturally high teen test levels settle down) so I might be a year or two out from cycling. I just want to make sure I have diet and lifestyle down for cycling. Any advice is appreciated.


edit: im 5'10" here's a video of the current physique

keep doing what your doing and wait 3 to 5 years before doing any sort of cycle.
 
good call it seems like you have a nice base to work with.just keep reading,learning and lifting hard.by the time your old enough to cycle your be beastly and really be able to make the most of your cycles since by then your know what works for ya body and etc.
 
If I may give you some advice, it would be to get your bodyfat down by at least 5% before you do the cycle. Not only will this help you see gains better but it will make a big difference on your appearance.

Since you are so far out from your cycle you have enough time.
 
I say bulk up to 215-220.... Not over 20% bf... Then when 3 months out before cycle cut.... Try and cut 5-8% bf.... Then cycle and gain as much muscle as you can... Then be a solid 210-215 at 10%
 
Your test isnt going to start dropping any until your mid-late twenties, and by the sounds of it you probably already have good test levels for gaining like that. I'd wait a while and if by 22-23 your plateauing maybe try something.
