    Ok Bulk or Cut? Help Me!

    I am 25 6'6" 280lbs

    Okay so I have been bulking for only about a month now....But I have become very self consious about my weight and the fact that I want to rid myself of the fat on my gut. I am tired of looking at it.... SO! Should I start cutting until I get rid of it? Or should I continue the bulking and Heavy lifting? Just looking for opinions...I assume as soon as I start my cut the muscle building will cease and it will be muscle preservation.

    Thanks for your suggestions!

    It probably will, I would do whatever you want to do, imo if you don't fee comfortable the way you are then you know what to do. So my suggestion would be to cut until you feel you are at an ideal/healthy BF% and then start your bulk again if you wish to gain more mass.

    280 is dangerous, and terrible for your body. Cut.

    How can you tell that by not knowing his BF %? at 6'6 he could carry 280lbs and be perfectly healthy. That is like telling Julius Peppers to lose weight because he is 6'7; 283

    Well, 280 is pretty heavy. He's a big fella though.

    But really, if you don't think you look good in the mirror, what's the point? Cut.

    Weightlifting sucks. I just like to lift heavy things.

    I agree!
    Although, you say you have been bulking for only one month? Either you are bulking wayy too fast, or you were already a fatty, in which case you should cut or slow down.
    Pictures would definately help though.

    p.s. You must be a HUGE Mofo!!!

    Haha Yeah Bro I am not really a fatty... I am a large dude. I am stocky at
    6'6"...very broad shoulders, etc. I don't look fat at all (I guess I carry it well) until I take off my shirt lol.. I haven't really gained to much on my bulk although I have been lazy and not keeping track of anything excet really protein and just trying to stay away from simple carbs. Ok so cut it is...Thanks for the advice.

    ANother vote for cut. No point bulking and getting even fatter if you already cringe when looking in the mirror.
