Should I cut/Need help with cutting

Shameless bump

you have like no muscle mass and you're more like 18% bf right now

cut down to 12% if you want to fall for the "hey I have a 6 pack, but look like an absolute dyel in t shirts meme"

ootherwise if I were you I'd go on a slow bulk like a +600ish surplus, lift, and put on some mass

So is it okay for me to cut a bit to abs, or keep with it on the bulk, cause my gains aren't slowing down and I'm not plateud yet.
My one rep maxes are below:
Bench: 195
Squat: 305
Deadlift: 365

i'd cut down to having abs if i were you. you'll get a confidence boost from being lean, any gains you make afterwards will be more visible due to you being lean and learning how to cope with functioning on a deficit is just a good thing to do if you want to get in to bodybuilding.

plus then you've got bulking to look forward to

I like the idea of cutting down to abs, I'm currently 165 pounds at 5'8, from what I'm planning on doing is intermittent fasting and replacing my dinner with a protein shake. Its my first time trying so I don't know what I'm doing, any tips?

Count calories and macros. Calories should be anywhere from 1500-1800 depending on TDEE and cardio. Get ~150g of protein a day and try to keep sugar low. Daily cardio and progression in weight lifting.

We have a really similar body type but I'm a little taller and weigh a little more. In almost two months I dropped from ~195 to ~186 losing about a pound a week doing what I just described.
We can make it brah

Yo I hope so man since its the summer, and I always over train over the summer since I can get away with sleeping 10+ hours, I've been lifting everyday, with a 5k run sprinkled in every other day


One day I want to look like this

just pay more attention to the numbers, really. count calories and protein, make sure you're exercising, all this sort of thing is in the sticky.

one thing that helps is to knock an extra 100 calories off what you think you should be eating. also might not be for everyone, but i know what helped me is weighing myself almost compulsively: once in the morning, once in the evening. it helped me to get a better feel for how much i was actually eating throughout the day

thanks for the tip senpai

congrats, but [SS+GOMAD trigger alert] unless you're a powerlifter, lifting heavy weights is useless. notice how 99% of guys in the gym who have shredded summer bodies don't even do squats or deadlift.

you need to go on a brosplit, one day chest + tris, one day biceps + back/shoulders, one day legs, and abs whenever they're not sore. just focus on the 8 to 12 rep range, 4 sets per excercise, and go until you're sore (about 4 to 5 exercises per muscle group). everyone on /fit/ hates on generic gym routines like these, but seriously look at every single guy in the gym who is aesthetic af and they're doing a brosplit.

no need to cut your calories too much, just a -200 defecit with low carbs and high protein and you'll see after about a month you will have visible abs and start looking nice and striated ;D.

Thanks, but I do like a hybrid thing anyways, I start out with my main workout of the day which I try to go heavy as I can for, and then I usually do a couple of sets of 8-12 range for everything else in that muscle group like below

Day 1- Squat/ Leg day/ abs
Day 2- Shoulder press or clean/ Arms/ Cardio
Day 3- Bench/ Chest/ Abs
Day 4- Deadlift/ Back/ Cardio
