My advice is too keep on bulking until you feel the need to cut. You can go ahead and cut.... even at 150-160 your going to be skinny you may be cut up but your going to have no mass to you.


But it's all up to you.

Hey Skinny its all up to you. As you say yourself you are pretty skinny. Why worry about cutting. You should try and gain mass before you try to cut down. According to what you have said you have gained 11lbs since you started bulking. Unless unproperly added, it won't be much fat. So cutting will not make you look much better. You should first worry about putting mass on, then cut when you see fit. There is no perfect weight to cut at. I do my cycling like this. Bulk for about 4-5 months, then when I see the bodyfat rising to high, cut for about a month. Not too intense cutting just alittle to shed some fat. Then its right back to bulking. This also makes sure your body doesn't get used to always eating high calories. Just like your body gets used to its training, it gets used to its diet. So to end it all, its up to you. We can't tell you when to cut and when not to. Its your oppinion. Hope I helped.

i agree, keep bulking dontbe afraid of fat...Just eat and eat like a MAN! So, cut when ever you think its needed..but dont cut the first moment that you see your getting some fat!

Just, eat and get big your skinny right? So worry about cutting? Gain muscle first then cut!

I wouldn't worry about it at all. You're only 14. Get into good shape first. Finish growing and let yourself get through puberty before you worry about hardcore bodybuilding.
