    Bulk up or cut down before first cycle?

    Stats:

    ht: 6'1"
    wt: 175
    bf: ~12%
    age: 28

    Goal: I'm not trying to become a BB, but rather put on sustainable mass for the sport I play as well as gain some aesthetic value.

    Cycle will likely be 12 weeks of Test E 500mg.

    I realize I'm on the light side to be starting a cycle, and I have really studied the diet forum pretty hard over the past few weeks. I've also rededicated myself to the gym and committed to eating 6 meals a day, with lots of protein, complex carbs, and good fats. I'd like to be at a point where my diet and workout routine are perfect when I finally do start a cycle.

    My question is this: In preparation for my cycle, would I be better off bulking up, say to about 185 with the same body fat, or try cutting my body fat down to single digits while staying at the same weight? I feel like with some effort and the right diet, I could attain either goal in a matter of months.

    I had always thought that I would want to try to max out strength & size-wise, but threads I've read relating to bf% going into a cycle made me second-guess this strategy and think that maybe I should get as cut as possible prior to the cycle so that I can focus fully on bulking while "on".

    Any input would be appreciated.
