Alright, I'm from Canada...

HOWEVER, I'm going to Australia in 3 months....


I look a hell of a lot better than what I used to.... I was 210, 6'1... and about 30% bf



now I'm 170 6'1 and I don't really know my bf%, I'd say 10-12%



but I want to get ripped.... and I'm not even close....


I can see top four abs, but I have a bit of a pooch.... should I go on a bulk for the 2 months, then cut a month before leaving?

or bulk for 3 months and cut once getting there...?


I'm going for a year, for school...


right now I eat 3200 kCals... but yet, I'm losing weight!!!

I'm thinking of bumping it to 36-3800... too much?


I have all my macros right for meals... so no need on advice on that...


currently I work out 5 days a week, once per body part; but I haven't been working out the abs.... :\

anyone?

the decision is up to you whether or not you bulk before you go. I'm thinking you goal is to rid your body of any excess fat before you put any intentional weight on, right? work those abs, bro - obliques, too. I love working them. combine that with some cardio 3x/wk 45 minutes, and you should see a difference. keep eating as well, you definetely want to feed yourself to avoid losing any muscle weight while tryingn to lose fat. good luck - have fun in the outback.

You contradict yourself. You want to see more visable abs, but want to gain weight. Both will not happen. You need to choose which route to take.

lol, i know this


but there's different ways of doing this


I could construct a better base, then cut to see them

or if you guys think I have a good base, I could just cut more... but I don't want to lose what muscle mass I have left!

so I'm asking which should I go for?

I know you can't see abs when gaining weight

I think you've got a sound base but there is bulking to be done before worrying about cutting. Once you have a bigger frame you will look good cut, but if you cut now you will look skinny. So keep lifting for size for now I'd say.
