help with decision with cutting vs. bulking

[pwr_machine]

If you have only been working out for 4 months, you need to bulk. You need size before you need to bring out the definition. Bulking is more fun, anyways.

I agree. Pack on some muscle mass!

I say bulk... but bulk slowly. Doesn't sound like you want to get much fatter than you are... although I would think you need some additional muscle mass.

definitely need more muscle mass. and even tho I am far from fat right now, just wanted to lose that gut even more. but it makes sense that I should bulk to put on muscle that really isnt there yet, then cut in order to get to that muscle

I agree. You could do some sprints on the days that you aren't training to maintain your current fat levels or even loose some. Plus, sprinting will help you build overall muscle.

You're the one who has to live in your body, not anybody else. It comes down to what you're comfortable with, much like casual described.

IMHO...

if you lose fat easily then bulk, if its tough for you cutfirst, youll thank yourself later

i appreciate all the useful input - i'm eyeing a return to the gym by the last week of july, so I'll probably just cut til end of August then start bulking hardcore
