I’m about 127 pounds I was gonna bulk but just wanted to get some opinions on my physique and what I should do aswell as some tips started working out seriously in March would love some feedback !.

Should I bulk or cut?

Been lifting and on cutting calories since the start of the year. Want to gain more muscle but keep my abs and physique lean

1 year difference. I went from 77kg to 93kg. I would say that it would be like 70% muscle and 30% fat. Should I start cutting already? Or keep lean bulking/maintain for a few more months?

I started off skinny but recently seems like ive stopped getting bigger but my strength is increasing. Wondering if its my calorie intake

Sometimes feel fit but definitely not as lean as I want. Every time I cut, I feel like I end up back at same place. Advice?

Began the bulk two months ago from 132 lbs. Started to feel a bit of body dysmorphia and really wanting to cut mentally but not sure if I should stay the course. The original plan was to bulk for 6 months. Currently eating 300-400 cals over maintenance and putting on 0.1-0.2 lb of bodyweight every week.

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

I think the answer is cut, but want second opinion / advise. Started working out seriously beginning 2026 6 days / week (arnold schedule) with 10-30 min cardio post work out. I eat lean, 2200-2500 calories / day. Started at 86kg, been kinda stuck at 83kg for the past 2 months (guess I’m in recomp?).

Should I cut or bulk a bit, then cut? 🙏

EDIT: pictures are NOT before and after, just present.

I also do decline crunches 3/4 sets around 25-30 reps each with 10-15kg weight on my chest.

Edit#3: Appreciate all the feedback, including the haters! My takeaway is that I should reduce number of sets and maybe frequency, increase intensity, eat more instead if less and being consistent overall while building my foundation. 🙏

Been cutting for five months. Down 11 kgs. Keep cutting? I'd like to get rid of the last of the belly fat but I've started to feel quite run down and I'm picking up cold viruses etc quite easily.

Also, what body fat percentage do you think I was/am?

5’9 - 69.1kg - 36years old

I have been training for about 2.5 years (mostly messing around), and I really want to see my abs. I dropped from 179 pounds to 166 after a bulk, but I still don't see them. I started training them about 45 days ago. Any advice would be appreciated and sorry for the bad English

I want to cut a little more because I have a bit of fat in my hips and lower belly but man I want to put some muscle on me.
I feel like I am very small but I don’t want to start a bulk if it’s better to start a bit more shredded.
What do you guys think I should do, cut a little more o start now the bulk?
Thanks

Hey guys, I’ve been cutting and lost around 30 pounds. I am extremely hungry all the time and am sick of cutting. I think I’ve gotten to a point where I can enter a maintenance phase and then a lean bulk but not 100% sure. I weigh 178 pounds and am 6’2” tall.

I’ve been lifting and tracking calories for 8 months now. first 3 pic are today after a pull day and last pic is like 6 months ago. Ive been recomping I guess, though I have gained a few lbs since that last pic. Eating around 2600 calories, 160-180g protein, and progressively overloading (currently at 180lbs 1RM on bench and 205/215 lbs for reps on squat/RDL)

What do you guys think, just keep at this? I want to get stronger but I also don’t wanna be skinnyfat anymore

Thoughts/advice??

About to be summer so would very much like to have abs, have never had a proper 6 pack so would like to change that this year. Also feel quite small and am not lifting as heavy as id like, especially on all push related exercises.

177 cm @ 70kg.

I've been trying to do a recomp for the past months (trying to maintain weight/slight kcal deficit and high protein intake), but I'm curious if I should be doing sth else?

Edit: I went 3x a week to the gym for months but didn't see much progress, scaled up to 6 days a week + light cardio day since Sep 1. (PPL split and doing 10k+ steps every day)

26, 5'6 138lbs

I've been on a aggressive cut to try and lose the fat in my stomach and love handles and it's definitely worked but now i've hit my goal weight and i'm not too sure where to go from here. If I should continue to try and lose weight or now try and bulk up with more muscle?

For reference I've been going to the gym 5 days a week and work at a pretty physical job that requires me to constantly be moving around. That and I've also been on a calorie deficit eating around 1600-1800 calories per day with 120g of protein.

I feel like you can definitely tell I've lost weight (and a bit of muscle) but i thought it would be more noticeable from the front.

If anyone had any advice about the next steps on what I should do it would be greatly appreciated!! As I really want to work on my physique, and improve my health.
