Should I bulk or cut?

[dannnn123]

Hey, I am currently following Kris Gethins transform your body routine and currently in week 3, I don't have a diet as such yet, as I don't know whether to bulk or cut. I have quite a muscly back, chest and legs, but my gut stays, any ideas? My stats are:

Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 5ft 11
Weight: 166ib
BMI: 23.2
BMR: 1785 calories.
Body Fat: 13%

Could someone give me a few pointers on what to do please?

Bulk, Definitely. Also im not too sure if i like that program. It doesn't contain any big compound moves which are the main muscle and strength builders ie Barbell back squat, Deadlifts, Barbell bench, Standing overhead barbell press. Have you had a look at starting strength or stronglifts?

[dannnn123]

I already did Stronglifts for about 2-3 month, and my lifts aren't too bad. Also, I think it includes compound moves in phase 2 and 3, as far as i can remember

Bulk with a good diet!

yeah dont think its an excuse to eat burger king and krispie kreme washed down with a load of skittles. eat alot but eat clean. not that you are eating junk. but just in case you were thinking about it!

[Dolphinski]

Agreed, Bulk.

Thanks people, does anyone know of a cheap bulking diet? Just money for meats and shakes and stuff is a massive issue :3

Look at the cheaper cuts of meat, they are usually fatty so cheaper but good for bulking! Most will need long slow cooking - but taste great. Find a good local butcher and chat to them. My butcher sells a whole rabbit,ready to cook, for £2 - it's a lot of meat 1 person

I'm going to go against the grain here... if you can set up a month or so diet to hit 10% or sub 10% bodyfat, you'll be set with a more efficient base to bulk leanly from. Either way, it's a tight call though...
