Should I start cutting?

OK... I've been doing Rippetoe for a few months now. I'm 6'0 and 190-195 lbs. My weights have increased a lot:

Squat: 3 sets of 5 at 95 lbs to 3 sets of 5 at 245 lbs
Deadlift: 1 set of 5 at 135 lbs to 1 set of 5 at 320 lbs
Bench Press: 3 sets of 5 with 45 lb dumbbells to 3 sets of 5 with 65 lb dumbbells
Shoulder Press: 3 sets of 5 with 85 lbs to 3 sets of 5 with 110 lbs

But I have gained a lot of fat too and it's kind of grossing me out. I think it's time to start cutting but I'm not sure. So I will post some pictures and hopefully get you guys' expert opinion






Yes I know I have gynecomastia, I'm saving up for the surgery now.

I'd be more concerned with that big white square you call a head.

Seriously man you look good, and your numbers are great. Good progress. A little cutting wouldn't hurt, but keep up with the weights and push those numbers higher.

holy **** man you scared me with your title

I was like WHAT THE FVCK why the hell would you start cutting yourself. Stay away from that sh1t man. Thats fvcked up.

and you dont look to shabby, I wouldnt think of too many females complaining about your body /shrug

Haha, sorry

LOL!

Yeah I too thought this was a "slit my wrists" sort of thread


You do know you can gain muscle and reduce bodyfat at the same time, right?
