I'm currently 6'3,
208lbs ( i recorded it wrong before)
& 18-19% bf.
My legs are pretty big but my upper body is slim & I have long slim arms & crap traps (no neck).
Like I said, lifts suck & should be a lot better
I started bulking a 2 yrs ago & didn't do any real weightlifting, parents said I should just 'eat'.
I was around '168lbs' and now '208lbs'
I ate donuts, cakes, etc. And had like 3 meals a day..
I guess that's why I am where I am..18-19% bf.
I feel that I have a slim upper body & a pot belly..
I've been bulking seriously for a year & made a few beginner gains...but nothing has really come of it these past 5 months & I can't tell if it's fat or not...because I have the belly, but my upper body still looks very slim.
I eat pretty' clean. I eat steaks, chicken, oats, potatoes, etc. But also cheat to get some of my other carbs and proteins in.
I need to know if I should up calories and eat clean, etc. and bulk up..or should I cut now?
The reason I ask is because I have a holiday on June 20th next year & want to be 'bigger' and see my abs for it. (You know how important a holiday is)
So people have suggested to cut until feb and then bulk up clean until the holiday.
I was thinking that I should keep bulking & cut towards feb...But i don't know :/
Can somebody pls give me some advice...I've never cut before & I still want to get bigger for the holidays.
I did my first real cardio for a year this morning...30 mins of bike work..But i'm afraid to cut because of my slim look already..
Please help guys,
Thx

You need to cut, get your body fat down around 10-13 and then start a clean bulk.

I cant stand being fat myself, thats why i dont (bulk) like other people do. I have a different style in my off-season, the way bulking should be. Too many people think that eating fat will make them gain muscle. You are what you eat. My advice would be to cut first and get your self esteem up. After you cut, eat around 300-500 calories more than you are burning. Make sure to keep the food clean.
Anyone who wants to criticize my opinion should know thats its just an opinion. I preach what works for me. When i eat too much, it just turns to fat. (i am not an endo or an ecto btw) I dont want to get fat in the off-season because i have low self-esteem when i cant see my abs. Also, their are tons and tons of girls who expect me to be in good shape

I try to gain good lean mass while collecting as little fat as possible. Asfar as the abs go, i personally don't give a **** about my abs, i'll see those suns of bitches in the summer!
Dude, with that high of BF% you should cut a bit first, its not like your gonna become skinny, who cares if its "not summer"
lmao
