Don't bother cutting. You gonna lose muscle cutting ..... it's very difficult not to. I see alot of beginners here trying to cut .......... build muscle first.

Eat clean and do 'some' cardio and you'll grow and be in shape.

Yates, at 5'8 170lbs he's already got some decent size. However Da_Peak, there's nothing wrong with 12% bodyfat. You don't NEED to cut. You can if you want, but I would listen to Yates' advice and just try to do a clean bulk first.
