Ideally, I'd like to get big and lean at once, but I'm not sure which to aim for first. I'm 5'9 and range between 150-155 depending on the week. Very little of my bodyfat goes to my arms and legs, so I'm not sure what my true bf% is, but my abs resemble the 15-19% in this chart when I flex them while my arms look like the 10-14% range unflexed.

I know the two popular ways of bodybuilding are to either shred first then slowly cleanbulk and to maintain a healthy bf% while aiming to add a lot of weight in a relatively short period of time.

What would you guys recommend? I've read the sidebar a few times but nothing in it really addresses this. The advice I've gotten from this community consistently works so I trust all your judgement on this one
