Cutting...Help me get started

[AznBB]

Basically ive been bulking for a long time because i started at 103 lbs exactly one year and approximately 2 months ago. Im only 15 and ive been small my whole freakin life . So this whole year and two months ive been bulking. I had never needed to cut because i was scrawny . But now im about to embark on my goal. Currently i weigh 158 lbs. Im quite proud of myself even tho im not even close to str8 or Br but im proud of what ive done in about a year. and soon enough when i reach somewhere between 165-175 i will begin my cutting phase.
Here's the problem ... ive actually never cut before because the whole time i was focusing on getting bigger. So can you guys help me get started on my cutting with tips , routines, anything ? I would really appreciate it. And another question ill probably bulk again after i cut so do you think i should just not cut at all and continue to bulk ? Keep in mind ive been bulking for a long ass time. THX in advance. PEACE OUT.

you might as well start gettin cut or else if you just dont bulk at all, later on youll have even more fat and thats more cutting and itll keep accumulating and itll take more time to cut, might as well do small increments cause EVERYONE tells me cuttin is boring, so you probly dont wanna wait a long ass time to end up cuttin for like 6 months when you could do like maybe a couple weeks to maybe 2 months dependin on how much fat you got at a time.

im tryin to figure out a good cutting routine myself, since im about to do the same thign as you and cut for the first time even though i havent been bulkin as long as you, i want some definition. this is what im gonna try, and if anyone has any suggestions please post them!

Mon - Chest & Tris, 15-25mins cardio
Tues - 45-60 mins cardio
Wed - Back & Bis, 15-25 mins cardio
Thurs - 45-60 mins cardio
Friday - Delts & Legs, 15-25 mins cardio

for larger muscles (chest, back, legs) ill be doin like maybe 10 sets for em and for smaller muscle groups (tris, bis, delts) ill do like 6 sets for em pyramiding from like 20 sets to 16 to 12.
sound good?

Hey well im not too worried about the fat because in health class i just got my body fat calculated with the Skin Caliper Test and it said i have 10.2 % bodyfat and that was about 2 weeks ago. And i also have a defined 4 pack with the other 2 visible. This is why im wondering if i should continue the bulking. But i think ill cut up for the other cuts like the arms back and legs etc. Anyway if we do it at the same time maybe you and i can converse back and forth about our cutting plans, results , and routines. Peace out bros.

sounds good, we could learn a thing or two from each other about what works, what doesnt etc

First off congratulations, thats some fantastic gains you have made.

you are 10.2% after a year of bulking? If you are actually at 10.2 then I suggest you continue to bulk.

Im in a similar prediciment I have only been focussing on bulking and soon the time will come when I have to cut, I am currently at about 12 or 13% bf I think and the six back has become hidden =)

Hopefully I will be able to cut fairly easily and actually make use out of my fast metabolism for once.

When I do cut I am going to stick to my HIT routine and throw in three 45 minute walks, up the protien and down the carbs and fats. Also Im gunna quit drinking on the weekends hehe. Ill probably only cut down to about 7 or 8% and then bulk again.

as soon as I reach 187 lbs or 85kg Im gunna cut which will probably be in a month.
