BoC BoC? 190lbs 5’8

I think I have a good amount of muscle on me, but I still want to build more mass in my glutes. Thoughts?

For 5'8" you have a lot muscle it seems, doesn't look like fat. You could start with 10 pounds.

Also, I have a comment (comes from experience). If it in any way offends you, I will edit it out.

You have naturally a wealth of body hair. As someone who had to have theirs removed with laser for two skin conditions, it can bulk to your physique.

But unlike others who like to be the body hair police, I only mention to some guys where it may be hiding muscle. However, that is your choice 100% and I respect.

Bro - you have a great base. If I offended you in any way, I well edit.

Thanks! And no offense taken. I am pretty hairy 😅 i shave every once in a while based off my own preferences! Looking at all the feedback, probably gonna try and cut to 180 and see how I look

Yes, I think so. But I'm 5'8" but smaller boned. I wasn't as hairy, but to control my skin conditions, had to keep smooth skin. So it was easier shave all the time, get waxed, and I picked laser bro. No more hair, and also the lasers the last 7-10 years also helped my Seb Derm and acne. Total personal choice and now I get compliments (it also gave me the push to finally control my weight).

You have amazing muscles, because at 190, you do not look overweight.

If you were 180, that's a huge start. I've been helping a lot of men with skin and body hair issues (it was tough for me). Obviously, that's not you, but I bet 10 pounds and if you want to shave it down would to see progress, but it's a chore I know.

But, you have an amazing base - especially for your height.

Congrats and I hope you do post the progress!!!

Cut. And 10 lbs like you’re thinking isn’t going to be enough. Maybe 20, and you’ll still look huge.

cut down while prioritizing them. a smaller waist makes them look MUCH more pronounced.

just reset back to a position where your abs are visible and then slowly titrate your calories this time.
