what is the right time to bulk??

Gumby77 Posts: 10 Joined: 2005/03/24	2005/05/03, 10:25 PM I've lost about 30 pounds of fat from about 24% maybe more to about 15% BF. My goal is to bulk up but i'm wondering should I get my BF% down more first or should I go on bulking cycle and cut after. Will it be easier to lose the fat after I have bulked up? I'm assuming I will gain a little fat in the bulking stage but I hope it dosn't get too far out of line.
