Hey bro's, I hope I am in the right section to ask this kind of help, really need some help here:
I have been doing my best to drop bodyfat% and been cutting for a while now but since coming back from vacations nearly 2 months now on it. Eating in a deficit and went from 80kg down to 75ish. I would guess I went from 20%+ bf to 17% or maybe bit less, gonna check it this tuesday.
Now my question while I post some pics of how I am right now, pics taken today when I got home after training: What should I do, keep cutting or go on a bulk until begin februari 2016?
Normally was planning to cut until end october and then do a bulk until februari. My main goal is to get "ripped" if I am able, cause all of my family is obese and I am afraid I am kind of stuck with those genetics. I used to be fat but not extremely fat more of a chubby type of fat. And well it's a dream goal to get a sixpack/vascularity/v shape waist while having some decent muscle mass.
I noticed from my legs that they are thing compared to some months ago and are getting more definition specially when doing squats and so on. But I don't want to be shredded and be skinny or have lil muscle mass that's why I am considering starting a bulk period now and gain more mass and then continue to cut until I reach my current end goal and then alternate to keep improving or to keep cutting until I reach kind of my end goal and then go full to add mass and alternate from there on.
My current schedule: fierce 5 full body routine, on off days I run or cycle or swim, soon will be doing mma again (unless I work the night shift then I will do morning cardio instead)
Weights incease every 2 weeks at the moment, the week where I don't raise them I increase one rep of each excercise. Will continue doing full body until I get decent weights (somewhere Ive readed about squats 2x your weight, bench 1.5x your weight or something like that? correct me if I am wrong) and this probably will keep being my routine until I bulk and stall/reach those goals I think.
What do you guys advice? Thanks in advance

Yeah your body fat is around 16% I think. Not the most ideal place to start a bulk. I would suggest you drop ~10 more pounds, ~1 pound per week and reevaluate.
If you cut at 1 pound per week you should still be able to make progress on all your lifts.Recommended science based fitness & nutrition information:
