What bf should I cut down to?

[Deathwish]

What bf should I cut down to? I just started working out two weeks ago. Two weeks ago I weight 185 and had a bf of 23%. What bf should I shoot for before I start bulking? I have a noticeable gut that I want to get rid of before I start bulking. My goal is to be strong and lean. Thanx.

What's your primary goal? To get bigger and stronger or to get lean?

[Saint Patrick]

Yeah it all depends how lean you want to get. 10-12% is a good goal, but again, it depends on you.

If you just started working out, I think you'll find that you shall gain some more weight but look much leaner. Give it a few months of good training, and just make sure to get an ample amount of protein, and then take it from there.
