So I'm 5' 6" girl, I weigh 134 and have a body fat percent of 25.78%. I eat 1470 cals a day and do Figueraerobics/30 Day Shred 5 times a week. Should I lose weight down to 126-128 before starting to recomp/bulk, or should I start lifting heavy and bulking now?

    The answer is always lift heavy now

    As for your calorie intake I would suggest that with a BMI of 21 you are probably low enough BF and may wish to eat at maintenance

    How are you measuring your BF? It sounds high for your stats and activity level tbh

    Agree with Rabbit, I think you might have less fat.
