Read the stickies.....Diet will be your main factor on w/e you decide to do(cut/clean bulk, etc.). no question is stupid....just how they are...i think everyones is like that.

In order to see more muscle mass, you must decrease your BF%. There are three ways to do this: add muscle, subtract weight, or both. For beginners, it's possible to do both. For most intermediate/advanced lifters, it's nearly impossible (without drugs).

So, if you like the size of your muscles now, cut; if you want them to be bigger, bulk; if you want them to be both bigger and more visible, bulk and then worry about whether you can see them later. If you need to cut fat off at a later time, you always can. That's just my opinion though.



Push yourself. Enjoy yourself. Be yourself.

The key is always to determine your exact calorie intake for both gaining mass and not gaining too much fat.

You may find some helpful ideas at Diet & Nutrition forums.
