Ok. Here you go.

6-8 months til shredded imo

>>38637918
8-10 weeks if you go hard

12-14 weeks if you take it slow(ish)

do you even lift bro ? not trying to bully you

You need to put on some muscle mass first. With your level of bodyfat you should be able to see some muscle.
But there's nothing.

Do a dedicated calisthenics routine while eating nominally.
You'll see results before Feburary.

i lied, gonna take you 14 weeks minimum, you're slightly fluffy but you lack mass.

so you're going to be pretty skinny when you have abs

I sort of tried to bulk for the past 6 months. I did gain some muscle since I went from benching 135 to 215 but as you can see it wasn't very successful (probably partly because I really only worked out upper body). I figure I should get a low body fat, start fresh, and then try to lean bulk before next summer.

I have pretty much zero knowledge on how cuts work though.

too long
you don't have that much muscle desu, clean bulk and gain more muscle, lest you fall into the endless cycle of cutting the same 15-20 lbs the rest of your life

I'm 5'9 150 pounds right now. At what point will I know to start cutting when I start to put on more mass?

Also should I do ss?

>>38638097
judging by your physique you have a bit to go, and what are your lifts / current routine

>>38638143
Basically just 3 bench sets and 3 curl sets with 2 rest days in between.

I've completely neglected legs and back (which is why they look like utter shit) because I was home gyming it and I only had a bench press and Dumbbells. I should probably start doing squats and deadlifts since I'm in college now and have access to campus gym but I'm kind of embarrassed about screwing up since I've only done those a couple of other times.

SS is a good start, but also do your rows, at the end of every workout, you need all the back work you can get. Just 2-3*6-8 on each workout is a good start.

The way most people learn the form is by watching YouTube videos and/or reading the SS book, and then doing loads of bodyweight squats at home. Focus on learning the squat as the deadlift is much simpler

For both the squat and the deadlift the crucial ingredient is tightness, and it's the one thing new lifters often neglect. If you get properly tight, and start the deadlift in a good position very little can do wrong.
