DC, pics. On bb.com, there are threads where guys post pictures of themselves, and others say whether to cut or bulk. Or you can look at yourself in the mirror and decide, or ask a mature friend who lifts* what he thinks. Also take into account how you dress and what venues you go to. I'm sitting at, I'd guess, 13-15% despite going beachside very frequently. IMO, it doesn't show much when I'm clothed, except for arms that lack a little definition.
*Guys who don't lift, and all girls, will say "you're big enough dude, what are you worrying about?"
Well here's the thing. I guarantee the dudes on a bodybuilding site would say "bulk" and the majority of women would say "cut" (if they knew what that meant). Guess who I'm trying to impress?
In the end though, i guess it really just matters what I think, and what will give me more confidence. I start losing confidence wearing plain t-shirts when my stomach isn't completely flat. Cutting phase it is! I was just wondering if there was any scientific rationale between having longer cycles of either bulking or cutting.
