6'2" - 217lbs - bulk/cut ?

[gymtime]

I'm 6'2" 245 with pretty low bf, and I am not "too big". Trust me, not even close. I've been a little bigger and still only focused on bulking. I think if you guys got up above 240, you'd think that you're not big enough. Despite my weenie genetics, I'm trying for a solid 275. I'd probably start seriously cutting then.

Anyway Eman, I've been at your weight(and height) and(in my opinion) you should continue to bulk for a while.

Man, I understand your perception. Most guys who constantly strive for size don't think they're real big, even at your size. It's completely an individual thing. But trust me my friend, by most standards, even by regular lifters' standards, you're a tank. I doubt this guy is looking to get to your size. I think he just wants to lose some fat right now.

I would cut I mean summer is around corner and you don't want flab hanging over your shorts at the beach or lake do ya? I agree with gymtime lose the fat then bulk up cleanly at the end of the summer. Chicks dig flat or six pack stomachs don't let anybody fool you on that.

I agree I would cut.

Also, I'm 6"3 only weight 180. (up from 164 w/less fat)

Depending on your frame your weight could be different from what people think is too small ect... I have a thin bone structure.

You also look bigger when your cut. People often over estimate what cut guys weigh because they simply look bigger because the muscle stands out.

Cutting is a much faster process than adding mass (which never ends).

I say cut then bulk.

Hey you can bulk in the middle of the summer no stopping you, I mean you will already ready be cut, Fat isn't going to pounce on. you will have more fat 2 weeks into a cutting cycle than 2 weeks into a bulking cycle.

217 pounds can be shaped a bunch of ways at 6'2". I am the same height and weigh 225 or so. Just hit the gym hard and the fat will come off and the muscle will grow. Dont worry about the scale cause you may even GAIN weight, but it will be quality...GET IT MAN

hey thanks for all the replies.

I'm not looking to become a huge mofo and start scarying the kids at the pool away =). I want to get that cut yet built 'fitness model look'. (MH-18, Men's Health covers). I don't compete and I don't want to be huge. Just a lean built mofo.

I think i'm going to go for a cut down for summer and in the fall start doing a very controlled bulk with minimal fat increase and then cut down to 220 @ 7-8% maybe by next year ( that's 15lbs of lean muscle that i gotta add after losing the fat).

anyway thx again for the help

BTW anybody got a pic of a dude @ 205 - 8% round 6'2 ?

I'm 6'2" 212 lbs and 7.2% bf in these pictures. Lately I've been bulking and am at 218 lbs and about 10.9% bf. I plan on doing a modest Fina cycle, which I hope will add at least 10 lbs bodyweight and drop 3% bf. Also, I've upped my cardio (from nothing). So I guess you could say I'm going to be bulking and cutting at the same time.

This thread sparked my interest being that im exactly 6' 2". Trust me when I say this, keep bulking. It will pay off, even when pro bb are bulking they put on fat, it s just nature. If i were you id bulk up to 225 and cut here about May. Currently im 6'2" 230 14.5%bf looking to add 5lbs more before May then cut for summer. Just a thought?
