I'm unsure of my body fat % but hopefully the pics would give an general idea.
I'm just bloody sick of looking the way I am, ideally would like to be about 185 and 10% b.f. At the moment I guess I'm skinny fat, though I see myself as fat, I've got fat around the lower chest and lower back which is really stubborn and I hateI'm unsure whether to start off by cutting or bulking;
Cutting: I know I don't have much muscle mass, but I just want to feel good and lean. If I cut first won't I be able to maintain a fairly lean look even during bulking?
Bulking: The other side of it is that I feel small and weak, I'd like to put on some mass and just look abit more..well more of a man i guess haha.
So much conflicting advice I just don't know which to do. Please someone put me out of my misery!

Cheers guys, bulking it is! Do you think a clean bulk over 6 months would do the trick?

and i don't like the term skinny-fat, that's BS, don't look at yourself as fat at all because you're not. i think that kind of stuff leads to eating disorders and body dysphormia or however you spell it.. i went through it bro, feelsbadman.jpg
