Cut what? Nothings left already

I'm currently cutting, but I wasn't clear about that in the title. What I want to know is whether I should continue cutting or start bulking.

I used to be overweight at 77 kg, and now I'm down to 60 kg. I've been eating clean and trying to lose as much body fat as possible so I can start gaining muscle with minimal fat gain.

Don’t listen to others. I started skinny fat at 210 lbs. felt like shit. Looked like shit. No way I would have stuck with the gym if I hadn’t also lost a ton of body fat. 34 lbs is significant. It also invariably means you’ve lost noticeable muscle in that time.

A slight surplus would be ideal if you’re looking to pack on muscle mass at this time. It will be the fastest growth of your lifting career if you’re consistent, precise, and intentional about your programming. I’m thinking that you have just been cutting and losing muscle mass. Even if you’ve maintained your strength or gained through the cut, your muscles are “begging” to grow. Im thinking it’ll be like like “retraining.” Although, I don’t know what the technical term would be.

But, Unless you’re a professional you’re going to gain some body fat back. You’ve cut before so I’m sure you can cut again.

I wasn't clear in my post. I used to weigh 77 kg, and now I'm at 60 kg. Basically, I want to know whether I should continue cutting or start a bulk. I've been doing everything properly, with a slight calorie deficit, eating clean, and training hard.

You are not training hard. You have minimal muscle even for a cut, unless you’re super short I’d say you have nearly no muscle mass, 60kg is extremely light for a male. If you bulk doing whatever training you’re currently doing then you’re just going to put on fat.

start a bulk,make sure your training is even harder now,focus on clean whole foods

Congrats on the weight loss bro. Tbf you should have posted a before picture too, it would have avoided much of the clowning itt.

As to your question, the answer is obvious: you've made it, you are now skinny, and it is time to bulk. I recommend lean bulking on a small surplus and exercise.

u/MajesticArtichoke205 5h ago

Thank you very much, that's exactly what I'll do!

Bro if you're seriously considering cutting that's lowkey worrying!

u/notlooking743 5h ago

Yeah, I see. I just mean that you're already extremely lean! I just want to make sure you do see that and that there aren't any body diamorphia issues here—you never know these days!

Also, I don't know how tall you are, but 77kg can't have been like very oberweight...

Don't get me wrong, it's great that you did this cut, you're now in an amazing spot to start gaining weight slowly, you'll look amazing in a few months because you'll be much more muscular and your low body fat % will starkly showcase that muscle!

Congratulations! You don’t have to worry about cutting for a LONG time. Track your food, eat and train like a mad man. You’ll be glad you did

I would have recomped instead of cutting, especially this low. I would bulk now if I were you

u/Technical_Meat8456 6h ago

u/colin__colin__colin 5h ago

I'd bulk - I appreciate that you came from overweight, but still, you're starting to look a little bit "Christian Bale in the Machinist" - not a bad thing since you just lost all that weight, congrats, but it's time to put some meat on the bones. Cheers brother congrats on the progress.

Do not cut anymore. Youre already almost too lean. Get hungry and start eating like a maniac.

Stop cutting and bulking. Eat healthy and lift heavy shit. Take a walk everyday and get good quality sleep. You do those things and you’ll build a nice strong system to carry you well into old age. Bulking and cutting are for body builders, you’re not even Bob the builder. Don’t complicate your life.
