    Bulk or Cut?

    I'm still in the phase of bulking, I do believe. Eating like crazy..

    Here's my dilemma... I'm a pretty damn skinny guy, but I'm pretty muscular. That's not the problem. I lost alot of weight and I lost it fast, (from 250, to 165)... Lost alot of strength, but I was like 50% bodyfat (hah, you think Im kidding). Anyways, I lost that weight, and I've got some... excess skin. It's not to horribly noticeable, but I'm sure its keeping me from a "lean look". I can pull my stomach out, and wrap it around my head, hah.

    But seriously, I'm 6'1, at 190lbs now. You think if I continue to bulk up, get really big (around 220lbs), and then cut, would I "fill out" my excess skin? Or am I always going to be flabby because I f'd myself early on?

    Been posting here awhile, about eating, and exercise, so I know what I'm doing on that part. Im basically wanting to know, I could cut myself down to 5% bodyfat, but I still wouldnt have a 6 pack because of this skin.. So if I gained weight, then cut, would that work for a good look?

    Thanks

    I think the solution your looking for is going to be found by going to a plastic surgeon--just being straight

    You abs will never get that big, think about it. It sounds like you've made some incredible changes in your life to bring you to this, I can understand why you would want to look good after devoting so much time to "recovery" but if you're talking about as much skin as you say I don't think building muscle in that area is going to help as much as you might think. You could always go the gym, ask a cPT or get a consult with plastic surgeon...
