Bulking for 4 months now 168- 184 pounds
Should I go on a mini cut now?
I was going to cut for six weeks then go back to bulking for about another 2 months then cut to single digit bodyfat. I was told if I did a mini cut first that my body would respond to the cut better when I do my full cut to below 10% and I will drop the fat quicker second time around.
any opinions on what I should do?
also any ideas of bodyfat?

we do have that look the irish!
original plan was to keep bulking until the end of march, but I feel like I have a bit too much bodyfat and then when a friend told me that my body would react to a cut better if I did a mini cut first then went back to bulking for 2 months then did a full cut. The mini cut would allow my body to adapt better the second time around

thanks for all the advice I actually think I am going to go with a cut now, go to maintenence for 2 weeks then cut for about 6 weeks until the end of March, then maybe slow bulk April and May then finish cut June and July.
to be honest there isn't much difference between doing that or my other option was keep bulking another 2 months until the end of March then cut for April May and June.
I just feel I need to change things up, getting a bit tired of bulking and curious as to how I would get on with a cut, I think i'll find it hard, as I have a really bad sweet tooth. But i'm looking forward to seeing what kind of progress I can make.
Reps for replies thanks!

thanks diet wasn't too strict just ate over 2700 calories a day usually between 2700-3000, and made sure i ate at least 170g of protein, ate mostly whole foods not processed but did eat as much junk food as i wanted.
workout was a 2 day split and i worked out 4 times a week so everything got hit twice a week.
everything was 4 sets 8-12 reps
day 1- Chest Back Bicep
chest- barbell bench press, incline dumbell fly, incline dumbbell fly, cross bench pullover
back- single arm dumbbell row, wide grip chin ups, lat pull, seated machine row
bicep- machine preacher curls, standing dumbbell curls
day2- shoulders, triceps, abs, legs
shoulders- seated overhead dumbbell press, lat raises, front raises, shrugs
triceps- close grip bench press, weighted dips, triceps push down
abs- whatever i wanted really, usually something involving weights.
legs- unfortunately have a knee ligament injury so couldn't train legs over that time.
so thats its, consistently went 4 times a week, didn't always do entire workout, sometimes i left an exercise or 2 out or only did 3 sets of some exercises.

not offended at all, measurements are certainly true though, gains are correct, the only one I am not sure is correct is the waist. I feel like I've added quite a bit more fat around the waist more than .5 inches only thing I can think of is possibly I was bloated a bit first time my measurement was taken so maybe my original waist measurement may have been about 31 or 31.5 as opposed to 32.5 which was recorded.
