I have never cut before

emblake000 Posts: 2 Joined: 2004/01/05	2008/04/22, 07:10 PM Hello, I've been lifting for about 6 months now, and I've gained about 10 pounds, but I'm afraid it might all be in fat. I don't feel like I'm that much stronger, and I don't know when I should start cutting. I'm new to this. My body looks kinda chubby so I'm wondering how do you know when to start cutting, and what do I do for it? Thanks.

But if you want to get bigger and stronger and gain more muscle then it is something that you will have to deal with. Gain another 10 pounds and then MAYBE start to think about it, the first 10 pounds could be some fat, some muscle, some water. If you cut you'll be right back to where you started and have wasted all that time. Keep the gaining up for a while.
