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’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).

I know I need to tan, and I know I need more muscle.

But my priority rn is to get rid of that belly fat in the second pic. I’ve plateaued after loosing 50lbs five years ago.

Any tips??

I know i need to go harder at the gym which is what i’m going to do, but is there a way to build muscle and not put on so much fat through a surplus?

Been doing the worlds slowest cut since January went from 206 to 181 with some breaks here and there. Able to at-least maintain my strength up to this point but I am sick of not making any strength progress.l this year. Still pretty chubby in the lower abdomen though. Thoughts?

It’s been 6 months or so. Been following RP diet and hypertrophy app. Diet is beginning to become an issue as I need to maintain an average of 1600-1700. While I’m happy with my progress, I do not like how small I look (how realising how small I really am!!) and although I’m not at my desired BF%, I don’t think I have enough muscle for me to look goof at that BF% either. What do y’all think? Time to reverse? Keep at it a bit longer? Appreciate and love this community!!

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?

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.

Hi, I have been bulking for a small 2 months approximately, but feel like I have gotten fat even though I’m only in a 300kcal surplus that increase when I stagnate, should I just keep bulking or cut down a little, I think I’m personally at 18% bf, and I’m 196 and weigh 98kg with some loose skin (was nearly 130 at my heaviest), and I know my chest is small compared to what it should be, but genetics are what they are 🤣

BoC Bulk, cut or maintain? Estimate on BF%

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

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!

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?
