Help? Question for Lifters - Weight Loss/Gain Advice

Spook_Skywalker

Hi MFP!

I'll start by telling you what my current stats are and then where I'd like to be; And then ask you all what would be the best route to achieve this.

I am 6' 1" - 185 lbs - 15% BF - Currently (Down from 330+ lbs a couple years ago)

I'd like to get to approximately 190 lbs and 10% BF.

I am currently doing SL 5x5 to maintain some muscle while losing weight, and I play basketball 6 days a week.

So, my question is:

Should I drop another 10-15 pounds and however much BF%, then start to bulk.... Or, should I start to bulk now and then try to cut weight after?

Don't know if this makes sense, or if you need any additional information. I appreciate any feedback and any help!

Thanks!
