Hey everyone!

I've recently become interested in bodybuilding. I have been going to the gym for about 2 years now. I met two bodybuilders the other day and they have gotten me motivated. I am 5'7" and 146lbs. I need to gain some muscle. I read about eating a lot and "bulking up" to do so. My question is, when it comes time to start cutting and reduce fat, will it be hard to lose the fat? Thanks!
