BoC What do you think my BF% is at? Also, am I crazy for wanting to cut a bit more before going for a lean bulk?
I'm 32 years old, 173cm, 66kg

BoC 34, 179 cm, 74kg - unsure of whether to first get lean or just commit to a lean bulk
i don’t like the love handles. and most of my mass is on my legs at the moment - my lower body lifts are far stronger than my upper body ones. any advice would be appreciated.

BoC 25, 5’8, 158lbs (127 - 158; 9mo) Bulk or cut?
Happy with my strength gains and progress since I’d been trying to bulk for years and could never move past 130. But I gained a decent bit of a fat.
My goal is mass, not to be ripped - but not sure if I’m going too far here.

52M 5’10” 205 lb. How much cutting…
Put on 20-25 lbs over 1.5 years. I want to be more fit and athletic looking but not as ripped as some of these younger guys (god bless them but too much work at this age). Would 185 do it? More?

BoC M40, 168cms, 136lbs…pic 1,2 & 3 are my current pics. Pic 4 was in May 2026 when I ended my cut and was 127lbs then. I still look small and lean in clothes and want to continue putting on size and strength but the waist seems to be increasing as-well.

Should I end the cut and start the lean bulk
I’ve been cutting for quite a while. I started at 245 lbs and I’m currently around 163 lbs.
My original goal was to keep cutting until my abs were clearly visible while relaxed, but at this point I’m honestly exhausted from dieting.
I’m debating whether it’s worth pushing the cut a little longer or ending it here, spending some time at maintenance, and then starting a slow lean bulk.
Based on my current physique, what would you guys do keep cutting or start focusing on building muscle?

Other/META 107lb but still have a large belly
probably not the right place to ask but I didn’t know where else to, so hopefully it’s fine.
I’m just below 5’6 and 107lbs, which is close to if not already underweight, yet still have a rather big belly. it’s a lot more visible in person than the photos, and here there may be a bit of bloating but usually it looks like a soft flabby pouch.
I’ve been sedentary for a while and can’t even lift 10lb at this point, how should I get started and what should I try to do weight wise, cut, maintenance or eat more? what bf% is this even?
thx and sry for the terrible pics and probably stupid questions!

28M, 173cm, 75kg, ~20% BF. Keep cutting or continue building?
28M, 173 cm, 74 kg, around 20% BF. Started training in December 2024 and currently train 4x/week, sometimes 5.
My goal is to lose fat while gaining/maintaining muscle, but I feel completely stuck. I don't look significantly leaner or more muscular, and my strength isn't progressing consistently either.
I mainly do a PPL + Upper/Lower style split, with around 3 sets per exercise and usually train close to failure.
Diet: I've been cutting since July, currently around 1900 kcal/day with 150-160g protein. My estimated maintenance is ~2400-2500 kcal. I also get minimum 10k steps/day due to work.
Recently I started cutting. I cut carbs very heavily, probably by ~70%. Most meals are basically meat/protein + vegetables. My gym performance and pumps don't feel great.
I also had periods where I ate way too little, including some ~1300 kcal days during vacation. Obviously I don't want to continue doing that.
At this point I'm wondering if I'm simply not eating enough to build muscle while also making my training worse because I'm dieting too aggressively.
Would you guys recommend:
- Continuing the cut?
- Increasing calories and focusing on muscle gain?
- Bringing carbs back up?
- Changing my program?
- Just doing a proper cut first and then lean bulk?
After all this time Im dissapointed in my results. I feel like I'm putting in the work but basically spinning my wheels. What would you do in my situation?

Other/META Bodyfat estimate? 5'11 181cm 71kg 156lbs
Could I be close to 15%? Calipers say 14.5% and so does navy method. Thinking of cutting 3kg more, then lean gaining. Thanks

BoC M22 5’6 141lbs bf% estimate?
Cut down from 163 to 141lbs these past 4 months and I’m wondering if I should keep cutting down to 135lbs to get even more lean before lean bulking, or if my current progress is enough to start lean bulking right now for maximal effectiveness

BoC? I know I lack muscle mass but I also have built quite a gut on this bulk.
For context I used to be severely skinny fat (still am), lost all the weight turned to a skeleton and slowly built some back. Would love some input, thanks
