yeah i think your best bet is to lose some BF first before starting

How old are you? You obviously have some work-out history. If you feel like you've been hitting it hard for awhile, and reached a plateau, then I'd say go for it. A lot of guys will tell you to lean up some first, but if you're looking for size, just keep your diet clean and hit the test IMO.

You will find that if you eat right, and hit it hard, that you will start to seemingly drop bodyfat and harden up while on. I know I do.

your bf% really isn't too bad. Just looking at your pics, you've obviously been around the gym for a while so I say hit the sauce. Just make sure that you do your research before jumping into a cycle.

Unless you're planning on doing a slow bulk (more of a body recomposition) or a cut, I'd try to get a little leaner first. In other words, I wouldn't suggest going on and hitting up an 8K calorie bulking diet. You wouldn't be a disgusting mess if you added a little more bodyfat, but you'd want to keep it minimal.

I would suggest dropping down to 10% bf then bulking up.

thanks for the input... i'm 25, been at it for 4 years or so... and i do feel as if the growth has definatley slowed... i've gained over 60lbs since i've started so i'm wondering if i'm nearing a genetic plateau?

I was wondering about this.... is it fairly common???? any more experiences like this? i'm wondering if i just buld while on but eat REALLY clean. I've had a really hard time gaining when i eat too clean, and i've gained the weight by throwing in some "bad" foods on occassion.
