Cut or bulk. So confused

[f33db4ck]

I'm 180lbs
5 foot 10
My lifts are not that great, and I am unable to squat right now as I am in pt for my knees
I have a small foundation, but some fat. Not a lot, but some. I think I might be 16%

I bench 155
DL 160
Mill press 85

Depends this is totally up to you. As far as 16% do you have pics it would be easier to tell you if we can see.

Why I say it is up to you, what are your goals? If you bulk from there you would have more to lose if your goal is abs in the end. If your goal is purely mass then bulk with a small surplus (300-500 above TDEE) (you can use the same number to cut but 500 is best)

Hope this helps

I have more fat now as I have been bulking. Here I'm 175. I'm 180 now

You can do either. There is no right answer for everyone. I would cut personally. But do what makes YOU happy!

You already know the answer to your question OP, You feel like you've gained weight to fast, You don't like what's happening in the mirror, and your getting uncomfortable with your body fat %, Ultimately in the end your going to decide to lose weight, I'd rather you decide that now then a month down the road after spinning your wheels.

It's okay OP, Nobody's going to judge you, Lean down a bit more, and then start adding mass SLOWLY, the slower you do it, the longer you can do it.

I already know you are not going to continue your bulk, regardless of what anybody in here tells you, so just cut already, and restart your bulk in a 1-2 month's.
