Need Advice

I am bulking right now, but I have always always always wanted to be able to see my abs and thing I have finally accrued all the knowledge to be able to do so.  I just want to know if you guys think I look as small as I think I do and let me know if I should bulk or cut, keeping in mind I need to be beach ready by mid june.

I recon it really depends on what the plan would be if you cut, what diet etc would give a better idea of time scale from when you need to be "beach ready"?
 
Maybe give it 2 months for abit of a cut to be gradual.........or more extreme diets eg velocity diet etc that will have you ready in a month......
 
as for size wise i wouldnt say your "huge" but you have a good shape (athletic) + lean........whats your stats?
 
Also the body hair makes it harder to judge definition.....got anymore poses also?

I would probably be cutting for 2 months or so... nothing as intense as the velocity diet though.  Probably something with cycling carbs tho.  I don't know what more stats you want from what I have got in my sig.  But do you think I should bulk or cut right now?

lol yeh maybe i shoulda looked at your sig. you should have 1.5 months before you cut for mid June. Go for a clean bulk till then.....I know you wont make huge muscle gains in that time but thats what id do.
 
 

You have a large frame, if I were you I would bulk to 240 then cut back down to 220 otherwise you may look to thin.

question is whats more important to you bein ripped for the beach this year or your ultimate size goal whatever that is.  

The thing is mainly, I have always been a big guy.  From once being 300 pounds, I think I am becoming tired of the big guy deal and really want to be that dude with the good body that shows the countless work put in.  I think I wanna get much lower BF% then work on size.  I guess I will spend all of March bulking hard but clean, hoping to reach 230 by April.  I will then do an visual assessment to see how much fat I have put on.  If not too much bulk a couple more weeks then cut.

wow 10lbs in a 1.5 months is a tall order in my eyes........well it would be for me anyway. I could probably put on about 6lbs in that time and id expect at least half of that if not more to be fat but i dont know you or your genetics for that matter so i dont doubt you could pull it off.
 
 
 
 
 

If it's about looking cut to feel good then that's what I think you should do for yourself. Get on a really nice cutting diet and work some cardio into your routine. In June I would also suggest shaving your chest and tanning up if you want the girls to double take!

You guys are ridiculous about the chest hair. Maybe his girlfriend LIKES the hair. Maybe he does. It's about what his preference. . .

I think you look great, fur or no fur, further bulk or not . . .

Aww Greg that hurts my feelings I haven't seen you in forever and you come back to snap at me. The tan, the lack of hair - it'll show off the definition more and highlight how cut he is. That's all I'm saying.

Lol... Yeah don't get me wrong I understand the hair is really unappealing.  Its just not always so easy trying to tackle that and my back hair without a spotter.  When summer rolls around though, I always take it off...

Awww ripped, don't take it as a snap. You know I adore you!!!!!! Of course you're right . . . . but I know (it's not just a suspicion) that hair is appreciated on some guys . . .

Here's an apologetic hug..... . . . and one of my trademark dancing pickles . . . .
