I am 34 years old, 6ft tall
I am currently 225lbs @18% bodyfat,
My goal is 225lbs @ 6-8% bodyfat.
I have in the past at this weight tried to cut and gave up as I felt too damn skinny. I have also tried to bulk from this weight and my waist gets too large too fast no matter diet macros and calorie adjustments.
----------------------------------
would you cut down to 6-8% bodyfat first, then take it slow and get to the target weight and cut back down to 225? -- (I hate being under 200lbs as I feel like crap, look skinny in clothes and feel like the wind could blow me over)
would you just try and keep body fat % the same and slowly bulk to target weight and slowly cut back down to 225? (I hate feeling like a fat ass and having a huge waist as this is where I tend to store most of my fat)
what would the target weight be in both scenarios before cutting back to 225lbs? (ex: get to 250lbs to cut to 225? 260lbs-225?)
I am stumped as to which to attempt as I cannot stand either choice. Basically I am just looking for opinions on which route to take here...
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
