    Yeah I’d say strength training is my priority. To be honest I want a bit of both, I want to see good, defined abs but i also want to be bigger.

    Depending how big is "bigger" realise you are probably talking a long investment in training and time. And during that time you will periodically be feeling too small or too fat.

    Small and lean is relatively easy, big and chubby is relatively easy.
    Big AND lean, that's a hard choice - good luck but try and enjoy the journey.

    My husband spent a decade trying for big and lean. He wanted to be 12% body fat and 200 lbs. He is 6 ft tall and the closest he ever got was 185 and 12% body fat. It is very challenging to be both big and lean.
