I think only you and your coach will know... With that said if you decided to wait I could only foresee you getting more of a benefit out of it... Only if your not ready, imo... Yeah you'd be surprised what your body can do in a short amount of time... However I have the same mindset as you... I Eiuld never go up on stage just to say I did it! I want to be in the best possible shape as I can possibly be in(and make sure I can honestly tell myself I couldn't have done anything more) meaning I left every bit of myself out there b4 stepping up on that stage!

Currently(5'10") & I'm holding 194-195 in am... I plan to keep on bulking(cleanly like I have been)... With my main goal to still increase muscle mass/thickness, while staying lean(trying to get to a solid 9-10% but w/an additional 10+ lbs

that's the goal... I'm happy w/10% atm but would love to see 7-8 lol(will take some time but that's the fun of it)
