Should I cut first?

**Sub-rosa** · 03-13-2007, 02:35 PM

Hello,

Im 6'4" and weigh 264 pounds. Im roughly about 21% body fat. Im working out 4 days a week. I dont know if Im too heavy right now to try to put on muscle mass or if I should focus on getting my body fat % down and then focus on putting on muscle. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

^^^^ what he said..

higher bodyfat will result in an increased aromatase response meaning you're more likely to end up with some lovely boobs.

Yay a guy with similar stats except the BF. I would definatly cut first bro and drop that BF. I currently am 6'5 262 with 12% BF. Get that down the get back to being a beast with keeping the bf low. I am about to cut again and drop to 240 range hopefully so i wouldnt mind watching your progress and comparing notes and ideas with similar genetics and stats.
