I am 6’2 and weigh 200 lb. I’ve been considering starting a cut, but I want to get a little bigger first. The problem is I’m thinking my body fat % is too high to continue bulking. I’ve also included a picture in my profile. Thoughts?

Do I have too much fat to continue bulking?

I would say I’ve gained 5-6 lb. I feel stuck because I feel like my body fat % is too high, but I want to add more muscle mass before I cut. Basically I think I'm carrying too much fat right now (especially around my midsection) and am not satisfied with my bulk, so I have no motivation to continue. On the other hand, I feel like I might be cutting my gains too short if I start cutting now. I want to get bigger arms and a bigger back and won't get that by cutting

Keep bulking. If you feel you’re gaining fat too fast pull your calories back just a bit. My answer comes solely from the fact that you’ve only been bulking for 2 months. If you switch between bulk and cut every 2 months than your bulks will be disappointing almost every time IMO. Typically a bulk will last at least 6-7 months.
