game plan , shed some fat, once i do that ill probably be under the category of skinny fat, from there obviously i don't want to continue trying to cut and end up pinner. so is bulking the best bet? just a bit over maintenance so i don't become the fat bulk look ? any advice on this subject ? is a strength based workout routine a good bulking one ? or would hypertrophy make sense...or..or..help

Small kcla surplus is probably your best bet. No point in getting like a skeleton before bulking. You'd probably end up regaining your fat anyways.

I'm at around 205 right now, when i first dropped down i was at about 170, and not like a skeleton still had a lil chub but i was decently strong. got injured so now I'm starting back up cause i gained a lot of fat back. is a slow bulk once i drop down a bit my best bet?

pretty fucking basic questions. you got the official sticky and the new articles thread sticky. the info's all there

Yea you fucking fuck do you even check the fucking stickys?

Take a step back.

Why would you want to drop and then bulk?

I dont know how old you are, or what you want to look like.

Ill tell you what i think you should do, anyways:
Dirty bulk for a good 3 years and then slowly cut them calories. This is the fastest way, according to my broscience competence, to gain serious musclemass.

Also, dont shave your bodilg hair, ever.

lol

Dont listen to this failure

LOL

Holy shit what a fucking hater.
