      I am 5ft8 168lb. Started my cut at 191lb 8 months ago.

      Think its time to start clean/slow bulking back up.. any thoughts on this?

      Id love to hear any and all opinions as well as a guess on bodyfat % please

      Thank you

      (Added a before picture) around 183lb)

      I am not an expert at this but my guess would be 12%. My personal goal is to get to 10% before I bulk so I can consistently stay between 10-12%. That fat is hard to come off and I want to start low so when I'm done bulking I don't have more than about 12%. Different people have different views though based on personal goals.

      This has crossed my mind... If i am around 12% then yeah it might be smart to try and shred the rest and then do a slow controlled bulk and try to not go over 12-13%... i cant decide what to do.. haha need more opinions... I feel small right now and I don't like that..

      If you look at my pics, I'm very small right now compared to most lifters on here, but the last thing I want to do is gain the fat back because it was a long hard journey to get it off. That's why I want to base at 10%. If you base at 12% you could possibly be at 15% at the end of your bulk depending on how well you manage, and that is bad IMO.

      Yeah this makes sense...and i know how easy it is to gain it back after a hard cut.. so it is going to require a lot of patience and careful bulking..
