Hey guys,
The thread title pretty much says it all. I can't make up my mind. I'm far from satisfied with my current size, but I'm not exactly as lean as I want to be either. However, it's coming up to winter down here, so I'm finding it hard to stay motivated with my cut.
My goal was to get down to sub 12% BF before bulking as per Lyle McDonald's recommendations, but given that it's pretty much winter now, I'm tempted to start bulking a little early, and if need be start cutting a little earlier before summer.
What do you guys think?
I'd especially love to hear from some fellow Endomorphs who have bulked up at slightly higher levels of bodyfat.
Cheers.

150lbs 14% BF. Keep cutting or bulk?
It's being a part of the Red, White and Green that makes me a Rooting Machine. And when you feel my mighty Stallion, you will know you have been with a true Italian. :D

Pics would help but given your stats, I would say bulk.

its up to you really, whatever you feel is best for you probably is. honestly though, i'd cut just because of the seasons... its going to be beach season and cutting is quicker than bulking.

Anybody else have any opinions?

From my experience bulking from a higher bodyfat can get pretty iffy. I start to REALLY hate the way I look in the mirror if I start bulking from higher than 12%. In fact I start to get disgusted. I'd say continue the cut to ~12 or under, then bulk. Just my 2 cents.

Well you have to lose 3 lbs of fat to get to 12% bodyfat, so you might as well just go for it.
Trying to get to 6% or something, at 150lbs, would be absurd, yeah, but getting to 12% is probably pretty reasonable.

at your height i would start to bulk. that's just not enough mass. your going to be real small if you try to get under 10%.

I'm 5'10, 154lbs and I've been cutting for almost a month and lost 6 pounds. I can start to see some definition and everything. I will continue to cut till around mid-end of summer and then bulk.
