just eat and east set a weight goal you would like to be at. Get to say 2-5kgs heavier don't worry too much about your bodyfat percentage- ideally you should stay below 17%.

Then Once you have hit your target weight,start cutting down

dont worry about a little fat, its easily knocked off

15-17% bodyfat is fairly typical of most NRL and top union players and they do display a bodybuilder look for sure. If you are to look at players like Stirling Mortlock, Sonny Bill Williams who are often on adds. They hold their size fairly well. If you look at the cover of magazines like Men's Health you will notise that most of the cover models are around the 8-10% mark, thanks to the help of lighting etc they still manage to look really cut. 10% is nowdays classed almost as sixpack lean, 5 and under is classed as well ripped, while upwards of 15% is fairly typical of your pro NRL and Union players. It still amazes me how cut somes guys often appear to be even at 12-15%. If you are really diligent with you training and wax, you can still look half descent at that at 12-15%. I myself am around 4-5% but tend to aspire more to the wiry Bruce Lee or the cut boxer or martial artist look. I have been bigger before, what I think it comes down to most of the time is attitude, you will find out what looks best for you. If you get too big you don't look at good in jeans or your cardio suffers and then if you get too small your anaerobic strength might not be as good, it is all relative.
