hello im new to the site so id appreciate some help, im 20 years old, 6’5’’ tall weight about 250lbs with 16% body fat, ive been real confused lately if i should try and put some more size on get that thick look or if i should cut down sacrificing the size in my arms for some definition…i was also going to start some animal pump this coming up week? ANY THOUGHTS? or suggestions please help
What are your goals dude?
Assuming your stats are correct, if I had a 6`5" frame, I’d bulk up to 310-320 lbs before worrying about hawt abz. If you have the potential to get massive, I would fully take advantage of it.
Since we have no clue what you really look like(I recommend posting a pic), I’ll say this, when you’re leaner, you’re going to look a lot thicker/muscular than having fat covering your muscles. So it’s up to you.
Get stronger

Doesn’t look like enough fat to really warrant cutting before bulking.

Yeah man, Eat more steak, less icecream and lift some heavy ass weights.
Rinse & repeat

There are quite a few posters here I would listen to before I listened to that author if my goal was big muscles…
I agree with the bean man. Eat better, watch the complete crap, and lift heavy.
As long as your smart and sensible (re: not super duper strict, but 90%) you’ll be fine.
