what's the lowest acceptable weight for 5'8? looking

>>38967827
Are you a girl? If no, how about lifting instead of becoming skeleton?

>>38967850
I'm male. I'm gonna start lifting soon but I want a good starting base with minimal fat

So is 135 pretty much the bottom of what's acceptable?

>>38967867
I'm also 5'8 and before I started lifting I was 153 lbs with fully visible abs but only 14'' arms. I cannot really imagine that you don't look like a skeleton with this height/weight.

>>38967903
Seriously. OP Post body.

I still have some chub

>>38967955
nigga don't "cut" from there, you'll cut into a skeleton. just start lifting

>>38967955

this: >>38967978

at 5'8 you don't count as an adult if you're below 150
but what you should do is cut and then bulk. not the other way around
there's no point in keeping that fat on you if you can get rid of it quickly and then start adding muscle mass while staying relatively lean

>>38967827
You weigh about as much as I do- except I'm a fit 5'7 female with a 25 inch waist. You are seriouslylacking in muscle.

>>38968040
Jesus this post hit home. alright, I'll start lifting.

The lowest acceptable weight is 66 but this is according to BMI; you'd look like a twink

Im 5'8 170. Start lifting OP

5'11, 142. Same boat as op I think. I don't want to gain weight until this stomach is gone, how much lower do I have to go?

>>38967827
Do you even lift?

>>38968297
Post tits plz

>>38967997
>at 5'8 you don't count as an adult
full stop.

>>38968321
I'm a guy.

>>38968365
Don't be so harsh on yourself.

I like flat tits as well.

>>38968297
Sorry m8, but that stomach isn't going without surgery. You already have a narrower waist than most girls, you should start lifting.

>>38968455
>>38968447
How incredibly depressing. Penance for being a glutton as a teen I guess.

>>38967827
there are many good reasons to build muscle before you start losing fat but I don't care enough to explain them to you

please elaborate

>>38968672
not being attractive and making people think you're just getting fat don't count as good reasons

I'm about 5'9" and 143lbs. Very low body fat. I'm aiming to about 165 lbs,
but reaching 3000 cal a day seems so tough

I'm 5'8" and 165 lbs. Im trying to get into 155-160

>>38969077
>>38968336
OP here, is 5'8 really manlet status? I've honestly never felt particularly short in my life, at least not in Chicago. you people are gonna make me insecure

>>38971173
I don't feel particularly short at 5'8, but I know it's a thing that a lot of people on here make a big deal about. Some of that rubbed off just enough for me to feel like I had to get it out of the way to keep things moving I guess

>>38971173
america is manlet central though

>hes doing starting base

lol listen man Ive been posting replies on the chan a long time. I know that starting base is a meme program designed by that mark rippletits guy to troll newfags.

You should be accessoring so just read the sticky

>that first slurp of the day

>>38971525
Will also add that I know a guy who is 5'4 but so built and low body fat that it was surprising to hear his height. Just always thought of him as big in general

I am 5'8 235 pounds. Yall need to eat big to get big. No guy should weigh under 181.

5'8" 175 here. Still look and feel like a little twink faggot.

Start bulking hard, cunt.

>>38971660

Post bod, bb

>>38971660
Bf estimate? Natty? And how long you been lifting for?

I'm 5ft 9 and I can see my ribs at 140 pounds and that's with a high fat diet of complete shit like sweets and fizzy drinks so you must be skelly as fuck my friend

>>38971660
You're just fat

>>38969077
How. We have the same 1 rep maxes, but I have practically zero muscle mass.

What's the secret.. I'm even 5-10 lbs heavier

5'8" at 145 here as well. I still have a paunch of fat around my waist but my abs are finally visible. I'm cutting for the rest of this month in hopes I can kill the rest of it before I lean and clean bulk for pretty much the rest of my life.
>>38968839
I don't know what your deal is, but I can easily eat 4k+. I'll probably never eat like that on a regular diet again, though.

>>38967955
th..thank you hungry skeleton.

>>38971747
dont know about anything too special but I'm getting my required grams of protein from whey protein isolate and just hitting my required daily calories. Also noticed that trying to keep up with a program forces me to push myself farther than I would on my own.

>>38967955
Keep cutting but start lifting.

Cut until proper leanness, you'll be able to tell.

Then slow bulk. Real slow.

>>38968532
Go see a doctor bro and ask what you can do about the loose skin

LOL you're either juicing out of your mind or fat as fuck.

I'm a lean 178 at 6'1, anything over 200 is pretty much enormous if you have low bf %

I'm 5'8 and 185 lb
How does this make you feel?
