I'm just wondering what your guys opinion is on this. It seems anytime I look at ANY post on bodybuilding.com the advice is "BULK!" whether the guy asking is fat or not. So my question to you guys is this:
If you're a semi high bodyfat is it better to bulk to gain muscle underneathe the fat first OR cut down to a low manageable bodyfat(say 10%) then worry about bulking from there?
I ask cause I am currently about 17% body fat but I feel I have a decent amount of muscle on my frame(can see pec definition, arm defition, etc still just not greatly. Even the 2 top abs when pumped lol) and I'm so torn. I really feel like I should cut down before I worry about trying to add more but there are so many conflicting opinions. I trust the advice on this site after browsing it so much and seeing how educated you guys are more than anywhere else so I figure i'd get opinions here.
