I feel fat. I don't like this feel. Do I keep on bulking for a bit longer to make cutting worthwhile? First time bulking.

I went anorexia mode and got down to 140lbs. No abs. You guys told me to lift more so there will be actual ab muscle down there.

5'8" 140 isn't anorexia mode you're just skinny fat. Just keep lifting

This was me, 5'8" 122lb with similar lifts to you OP at 165 . Barely abs. It's not about "having muscle underneath", just look at all those extreme skellys with defined abs. It's about having low enough bf and having the right genetic fat storage. But if you have little muscle, you need to get to an embarrassingly low weight to see abs (ie 122).

140 at 5'8 you have a bmi of 21, which is smack dab in the middle of "healthy normal" range. you need a bmi of 18 or lower to even be considered underweight.
>1500 cals
also far from anorexic standards. anorexics eat about 500-800 cals a day MAXIMUM.
your extreme misconstrued version of "anorexic" concerns me in that you must have a body image distortion similar to HAES

my noabs problem is compounded by loose skin. This was me at 145-150 a year ago without regular lifting. My fat distribution is mostly midsection.
>>37688977
you misunderstand, I was eating at 800. That where anorexia mode came from.
