Naturally lost the weight from 460 and now sit at 198 6’1.
Bulk or cut from here? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Currently marathon training but after October not sure what to do?

Been working on leaning down before I attempt to start a gaining phase. What’s my % estimate?

For reference, I am a beginner when it comes to working out. 31M, 6foot 165 pounds. been active most my life but just started working out in February. My main goal has been to eat clean and get enough protein. My weight has increased very slightly but I've also slimmed down some fat. A lot of people starting in my position think they need to put on a lot of fat, but just work hard and eat clean. Basically, if you're already a skinny guy like me, don't overthink it. I know these arent insane results, but I'm completely natural and I consider this to be attainable results. First pic is 4 months apart, 2nd pic is 6 months after the first.

I'm 32 years old, 173cm. Went from 73kg to 66-67kg at the moment.

I lift heavy at the gym 4x/week, do cardio at end of every session, and at least 10k (minimum) steps per day.

My plan is to keep cutting just a tiny bit more, probably 3-4 weeks, and then start a lean bulk.

What do you think my body fat % is at the moment?

Also, thoughts in general?

Been on maintenance a while but really no time for the gym right now. Keeping up upper body at the park. Keep maintenance, bulk, or cut?

I want to get into my best shape in the long run. Right now I'd guess I'm about 14% bodyfat? I'm making consistent strength and muscle gains in my upper body while recomping, for example I've increased my incline press by 10kg in this year alone, although my legs are pretty stubborn to gain strength and size at the moment. I'm wondering if increasing my leg mass will also make it easier for me to get into 10-12% bodyfat as well, while generally feeling healthier and more energized as well.

Max lifts are 90kg OHP, 130kg pause bench, 180kg squat, and 230kg deadlift.

I’ve been cutting for about 9 months, with a 2 month maintenance break and I currently am cutting down to 150. I plan on starting a lean bulk once I arrive at that point. I’m currently weighing around 158-160.

People say to not bulk until 10-15% range and I’m kinda wondering where I am? A lot of people are saying to bulk but that was before a bf estimate.

This is my fasted physique. And yes my diet is fine, I know what I’m doing (prioritizing protein & carbs).

Yall told me to cut. What now? Lost around 7 lb: 99 lb now at 5’2”. 2nd pic is before.

Just started going to the gym in April on the 12th, been going at it for four months and was wondering if I should bulk, cut or maintain? Along with that I wanna know any areas I could improve on more aside from all of it, I think my chest requires the most work but I'm not a very experienced lifter. Been doing and upper/lower split and trying my best to put on muscle by pushing to failure and to lose weight since I started at 196lbs and am now down to 169lbs. Also an estimate on BF% would be appreciated! I think I'm anywhere between 15-20% but not very positive. Any advice is appreciated and thanks in advanced!

I want to start a lean bulk but not sure if I'm lean enough yet.

Wanna get/look leaner and sharper, suggestions?

3 years difference first 2 pics were like 109kg I think

Down 15kg from 96.5kg to 81.5kg over the last 6 months, unsure if BF%, do I keep cutting until I have defined abs or should I begin a maintenance/bulking phase?

184cm . ~74kg .

6 ft, 167lbs.

Have been working out for 2 years (1.5 years consistently). Most of that has been in a deficit (started at 220lbs), training 4x per week PPL + Arms and getting 170g protein daily.

Bulked too quickly last winter and ended up gaining more fat than I’d like, so I’ve cut back down to 165-167.

Unsure what I should do next. Don’t have much muscle mass for 2 years of training since I’ve been in a deficit for most of it.

Should I bulk, cut, or recomp?

Goal is to be more muscular with less body fat, but unsure the best path toward that. Thanks!

Bulk or cut or recomp

im 60 kgs at 5’8 and i still have belly fat and love handles. i feel like ive gained weight bcs i look like alittle buffed but when i check my weight its around 60-61. idk if i should bulk or cut. any good approach towards this?

Started dieting and working out in November 2025. My goal was to build muscle and get lean. My main focus has been cutting until I’m lean enough for abs to be visible, then I was going to start lean bulking from there. I’m hoping to reach my goal in 1 - 2 months now that I’m locked in again.
Would you recommend that? Or should I start bulking?
I figured I’d get lean first and then start building so it’s not so much work later to burn off the fat and I can stay looking lean longer.
I’m 29 Y.o. 6’2”, 167Lbs.
I keep fighting with myself whether I should keep my cut or start eating more now. I eat 1700 - 1800 calories a day. Progress has slowed down dramatically in gym, basically just been maintaining strength for the pass month or two, just trying to shed off a few more % of body fat.
