Tidus, how far do you think you need to cut down before you begin building muscle? If you plan on taking it into the single digits you will be at a point where you can't gain muscle very well because your bf% is too low. At that point trying to get some lean mass without gaining any fat will just frustrate you after a certain point. So you'll HAVE to gain fat. Which will again frustrate you. Then, though, you have CUT your bf so low that your body is PRIMED to do what it has always done....put on fat. So while you try to gain just enough fat to realize some lean mass gains you will have a hard time controlling it since your body is in that fat gain mode.

Right now it looks like most of your fat is in your gut. So if you cut too much more to get rid of the gut the reality may be that you have reached too low a bf%...and you start that pendulum rocking I just described. That is what I was trying to tell you before.

Do not get sucked into this bulking/cutting mentality. For someone who has had problems with lots of fat that is a recipe for frustration. Slow and steady wins the race. Unless you want to check out the anobolic section...
