Confused about where I am at now..

[Adrenaline690]

I bulked up a little to much over last spring/winter.. most likely to about 20-25% BF LOL

I have been dieting the past 3-3.5 months.. I am starting to see lines in my quads, and have decent vascularity in my calves/forearms

I am trying to compete in my first show next year.. I have been hearing mixed opinions.

To keep dieting until I am lean enough to have full abs.. or to start bulking.. especially since I want to add some more size to compete.. I am just curious on other peoples thoughts for a 2nd-3rd opinion :)

I would guess I am about 14-15% here..

rear shots and stats please.

you do need to really bring up the legs and overall size based on what i see.

I agree.. this winter legs are going to be my biggest focus

Right now I am 5`7 170 and from what I am told is around 14-15% BF

My biggest concern is wether people feel I should keep dieting for a little longer or that my body fat looks fine to start gaining.

I was thinking about after the 1st show is over.. I will have a shredded base to start with and go lean year round from there.. and just use my time now to gain.

i would start working on it now, you dont have to become a fattie to add muscle.

You just need to eat alot of clean calories. Lean protein, complex carbs and good fats.
