Ok Guys and Gals,

We'll I'm sorta a newbie to working out myself
but I always thought for someone who is not already skinny or naturally fit
is to first spend sometime doing a cutting routine and cutting down fat. Then concentrate on building mass.
Quess it depends on your goals is it to be big? or cut? definition with some increase in mass?
In the end it is all good as long as your trying to get in shape

you look like you got some decent mass already. I would go ahead and try to build some more muscle then cut. Its always easy to build muscle when your starting.

Hello Surge and welcome!
Typically you want to have a bodyfat % around 12% -20% if you want to BULK, any higher than that I would Cut. You can get your body fat assessed in the link below:
Want to know your bodyfat % ?
No matter what you decide your diet is going to play a big part on the QUALITY of mass that you add to your body (If you decide to bulk) So make sure to read the articles in the link below:

Good Luck!
Dave
