Bulking or Cutting

[mikeb19]

although im only 168, im about 20 percent body fat. I want to bulk up but should i lower my bodyfat first?

ive been training for about 2 years.

weight 168
arms 15.5"
chest 40"

bench 275
squat 315

lower your bodyfat first

yes lower your bodyfat to about 12% and then begin bulking.

Did you have a BF test done???? Or are you just guessing.

If you were 168 @ 6'1 with 20% bodyfat i would have a hard time believing your were benching 275 and squatting 315.

Thats why i would think if those numbers are true you are leaner than you think. Find a professional and do a 7 point skin fold test and get back to us.

I have a weighing scale which also measures your body fat but not sure how accurate it is. I will get a proper test done and get back to you.

Yes please do - those scales are extremely not accurate, You'll be suprised how much less a 7 - 9 point test will give ya.
