if you're just starting out, lose ALL the fat first and get down to 8% bodyfat.
then from there, start a clean bulk. for precise numbers, use somewhere inbetween diesel's cutting and bulking guides.

id go down to 10% man, to me 14% is too high to start a bulk on. 14% is what you should be after your bulk is done.
Well, I have already started bulking. I have gained about 20 lbs in the last 4 months. But, i have gone up from about 17/18 % bf to about 19/20% bf.
Sounds like you are saying I should drop to 10% before bulking again.
On another note, how accurate are those body fat scales anyway. I have a 5 yr old tanita body fat scale that i am using. I am wondering if that is giving me the right reading.
Ok so where can I find those bf tests <question mark> So basically what you're saying, is that I should first cut to 10 % of bf then bulk up to 14%, right <question mark>
One more thing, when I'm bulking up I need to constantly put more and more wight on my muscles so they could grow, could I just take a bottle of 10l of water and do crunches with her on me <question mark> I mean that would add 10 kg on my weight so my muscles would need to work more <fullstop>
p.s.
Hope you like my fullstopes now <fullstop>
