i agree with all of you that i need to bulk, but i really want to see if i have the ability to get six pack abs/totally shredded. If i can do it for this summer, I have less to worry about when i put on some serious mass with a bulker. I want to compete/fitness model one day, and its a requirement and a discipline to be able to get shredded. Gonna have to learn sooner or later...might as well be the summer where i'll be in a bathing suit.
Also, Just to be clear, i don't see myself losing weight this cycle, only bodyfat. I really think if i keep calorie count just below maitenance and keep cardio to a reasonable level, i can pack on a good 5-10 lbs lean body mass while still reducing my bodyfat percentage with the layout i have.
