Should I be bulking recomping or cutting?

[whiteissuperior]

Ive been used to being underweight my whole life, 6'2", 135 lbs when I graduated high school. Now, years later, I am trying to gymcel, and I realize Ive gained a lot of fat with very little muscle gain. Im not sure If I can even bench a plate. A few months ago, I was 165 lbs, now I am 180.

I am still scrawny without muscle. But I am no longer "underweight"

What should I do? Bulk til I get fat or recomp?

Just dont give a damn about fat until growing your muscles enough and then start cutting

Okay yeah after seeing your physique and taking into account your lifts - I assume you've not lifted for more than like a month or some shit? I'd say go on a small cut for like a month/until neural adaptations go (basically when you first start lifting, your muscles don't get stronger, it's just neural adaptations), after you plateau start bulking.

Alternatively if this sounds a bit hard, just focus on getting stronger. Like don't even worry about calories, just eat protein and get stronger until you hit intermediate lifts at least, from there on you can focus on cutting or whatever.

Your issue is lack of muscle, you cannot even bench 1pl8, so really cutting bf% should not be your main goal. Until you can bench bw for 5 reps, 5 sets keep focus on getting stronger
