Hi I have been lurking for a while. Decided to sign up.
At the moment I am 6'2" and weigh 205lb. I have been on a cutting diet now for 2 months starting at 215lb. I have some scales that are supposed to calculate my bf%. I started at 24% and now it says 21.5% I am also 29.
What shall I do, cut to around 12% then bulk or bulk? I just feel a bit fat.
I havent been consistent with exercise Iv'e been flip flopping between routines for quite sometime.
My main goals are (vague I know)
1. To Get stronger.
2. To Look better
What do?
also can't imbed pic as this is my first post

Also if anyone has any recommendations for routines to follow that would be great! I'm suffering from analysis paralysis :S I was thinking of doing a Greyskull LP variant (imgur.com/OUcEY.png)

Cut till the end of summer and see how you look/feel by September. Stay on top of that diet/lifts and you'll see a huge difference by month 3. (I certainly did)

Yeah, definitely do a cut. Should see some gains under all of that!

Thanks!
Thanks for all the replys, so I'm going to cut down to 15 percent body fat then re-assess when I get there.
Would a 20 percent deficit with about 200g of protein be OK for that?
Also any comments or suggestions on my training plan?
Thanks again!Last edited by Rincewind1405; 05-31-2013 at 12:28 AM.

Hi guys need some advice if anyone can help me out, I've been doing stronglifts 5x5 starting with the empty bar as recommended and doing weighted pull ups.
The problem is in the space of a week and two days my weight has increased from 206.4 @ 21.9% Fat to 207.9 @ 21.9% Fat my diet has been pretty good I'd say 80/20 compliant @ 2000 cal 1g protein per lb with 5g of creatine anyone have any ideas? should I reduce my cals further or just keep things as they are and keep tracking?
Thanks for any advice.
Edit attached a recent pic for comparison purposes.
