Default Bulk or Cut?

5'8 180 BF 15-16%

My question is should I bulk or cut. I used to have some decent mass but diet and training got off track for quite some time now my body fat is higher due to all the lean body mass i lost. Kind of look like a skinny fat kid but not really. I am going on vacation in a week so basically what do you guys think i should do when I come back. Bulk or cut till I reach a lower bf%

It all depends on what your personal goals are. If you would like to get a little leaner then go on a cut, if you want to get a little bigger go on a bulk. On a side note, I'm going to guess that your bodyfat is not 15-16%. I am 5'9" 155lbs, and my bodyfat is 9%. There is a lot of bodyfat in 15 pounds, especially when you're an inch shorter than me. But I could be wrong....it's happened once or twice before.

I'll tell you right now though that in my experience, girls like smaller, more cut guys to bigger, less defined guys. So if you're trying to lose weight for the ladies on vacation, I'd go on a cut.

Like it's been said before, it depends on your goals and preferences. Personally, I'd cut to single digits then go on a clean bulk.
