I'll be honest... I really just want a six pack...
I'm 5'9", 147 lbs, 14-15% BF. For the last 2.5 months I've been doing HIIT 5x a week, and I've gone down from 18% BF to 14.7% BF. But I cannot for the life of me get rid of that little ounce of fat right on my lower abs. Should I keep cutting to burn the fat or start bulking to start adding the muscle I need to gain definition?
Thanks in advance...

bulk. You'd have nothing to cut down to.

yeah, no offense, but you don't have any muscle. If you cut, you'll just look like a skinnier version of your current self.

Yea best bet for you would be to slow bulk and gain as much muscle as possible before hitting 20% bf. Or who knows you might be able to gain muscle and cut bf but you gotta bulk either way.Originally Posted by mcb2229

no offense to anyone but a six pack on a skinny guy is like big tits on a fat girl. Bulk up.
