Cut or Bulk???

[Steve80]

Ok I am undecided on whether I should keep bulking or start cutting. I am currently 6'1 and 201 pounds up from around 160-170 last year. According to a trifit machine my BF was 20%, I then had it takin with calipers and it said 12%. Im guessing its right in the middle of those two 14-16%. I have a tendancy to get a belly ever since I was a kid but the rest of my body stays thin, its wierd. I think it may be due to stress, I am a high stressed person ( I saw a comercial that said stress causes belly fat). So most my body has a really low fat percentage except my stomach. (stomach prolly is 20%, compared to the rest that is MUCH lower)

1. Should I keep bulking and get to 210-220 before i start cutting, because I am 6'1 and only 201? ( I do have a VERY light bone structure in all fairness).

2. I have tried to cut before from like 170 and got down to like 150 and still had some stomach fat, but ZERO fat anywhere else, is it possible no matter how much I cut I will not be able to loose that?

3. I do not want to get skinny/scrawny again, I love how I look bigger now, just dont like the stomach(look great with close on though lol). Should I just deal with the fat? Im not trying to be a BB just get bigger,

4. I dont have a problem loosing weight, should I keep eating a bulker but do a bunch of cardio?

5. Any ideas, im lost....

1. this is your own opinion based on your own goals. if i were you i would maintaing my bf% not higher than 10 max 12 but thats because i compete.

2.when dieting to the point were you get down to 3.5-4% bf which this would be only done for contest in my opinion you will see that the last fat to go its from your lower back lower abs and glutes. but if your fat % its low theres no reason why you should still have a gut. it may be water so just make sure that when you cup you up your water intake a lot more.

3. dieting is a bitch and even if you look great you step on that scale and you want to shoot your self lol but again bro this is just your own desition and since you stated that you dont want to be a BB..and just get big then shit keep eating!!! lol

4. Im not familiar with your diet or what you eat and when you eat. but research a lil bit and do a CLEAN BULK diet that should help you stay a bit leaner.

5. just in case your not doing this yet...separate your carbs from your fats. and with every meal have protein. this will lower that chances of absorbing fat since your not giving you body fat when you take in carbs and your insuline levels spiks a bit.

hope that help bro and good luck pzzz

I have the same situation like u. same weight, same height. In fact i posted the same question on another forum got few feedbacks. it all depend on the individual's goals. if u don't wanna look scrwany like u said then i suggest u bulk first. that's what i'm doing now. my goal is to upto 240ibs. as well keeping my bf really low.
