Post here and other anons will tell you whether to bulk or cut.
What should I do? Been on keto for a while now, but I still feel tiny. Maybe continue with keto for 4 more weeks and then switch to a bulk?
6'1 185lbs
Why is this so hard for you guys? eat a lot of calories and workout. Literaly that's it, why tf would you cut? you're still pretty skinny
you should try lifting.
>>42222275
There is literally no reason for you to cut
>>42222302
You would be deeply saddened if I told you how long I have been lifting.
You look like me before I started
>>42222346
this is you now or when you started?
>>42222321
how long?
>>42223116
I have been lifting on and off for two years.
My diet for the past 7 months has been incredibly bad - lots of ramen and shit due to mild depression and high workload.
My lifts aren't horrible, though. rough 1rm's are 215 bench, 385 dead, 290 squat, 155 ohp
Due to the fact that I'm on keto and have no carbs I am really really flat right now. Just worried about my gut, kind of want to shed it first...
Just got done with my first cut, was "skinnyfat". How do I look now? Am I ready to bulk?
>>42223195
Did you lift during your cut?
Anyways, you should definitely clean bulk now. Don't go too fast though so that you can bulk for a year or so before considering cutting again.
>>42223288
he's trolling almost 100%
>>42223195
>>42222275
gonna take it from these that the answer to everyone posting is going to be "bulk, obviously"
>tfw too scared to cut because afraid I might have gyno
>>42224949
you have gyno faggot, its absolutely certain
>>42224963
Fuck
Time to permabulk then
eh? EH?
>>42222275
Bulk.
>>42222346
Cut.
>>42223195
WTF HAPPENED TO YOU - OMG HOW ARE YOU STILL STANDING? Did you skip EVERY day?
>>42224949
Cut.
>>42223134
>215 bench, 385 dead, 290 squat, 155 ohp
I can't even lift half as much (though 5 rep, don't know 1rep maxes) and still look about the same as you... Are you very tall or something?
>>42225002
Kek your tan line makes you look fat af
I'd guess I'm at ~15-16% bf, should I cut till 10-12% and THEN bulk or just bulk as is cause by then I'll be skellie?
(6ft1 176)
>>42225090
forgot pic related
>>42222275
Cut because i'm a fat fuck (kek that rhymes)
>>42225111
I'm new to the gym and was on the abdominal machine and after using it the day after i find it hard to stand up, could i have pulled something it's painful?
>>42225058
6'1. I also don't think that's a very good pic. Here's another.
>>42223195
Bulk anon
>>42224949
I'd cut in your position. Doesnt matter If you have gyno, fat wont help it mate
>>42225002
Did you lose a fuckton of weight?
>>42225058
You look awesome gorilanon. Go fuck some pussies
>>42225102
Id bulk anon
>>42225215
Fucking big pic with shit resolution. Congrats on me.
Here is another. Not too much better
Been cutting for around 5 months now. Continue?
>>42225228
i'd say bulk, you're lean and could use more mass. you look good though
>>42222275
Whaddya think anons?
18, 6 foot, ~155lbs
>>42225830
Another pic
>>42225830
>>42225881
bump
help me anons ;-;
>>42225881
Cut anon
We can see there is some muscle mass, but you dont have any definition even when flexing...
Cut or bulk? Wanted to be leaner by now but had to take the last month off to move and find a job. End goal is 250 and lean.
>>42226088
Thank you
My only worry is I'm already really lightweight at 155lbs for 6 foot but thanks a lot!
>>42226099
If end goal is 250 and lean then bulk as cleanly as possible, you could reach that very very easily. How long have you been training?
>>42225830
>>42225881
>>42226088
One more question
I have gyno and really wide hips
Is this low test or bad genetics?
Since I"m 18 what are the chances it'd even out?
>>42225881
work your fucking core
>>42226134
You tell me. I also have gyno and wide hips.
Me: >>42225228
For it is a matter of getting the better version of myself.
But yeah, if your dream is to be a Calvin Klein underwear model you are screwed...
>>42222275
Currently cutting, do I keep going to <10% or lean bulk from here?
>>42226165
I can hold an L sit for 15 seconds and I can do 5 dragon flags in a row. Tuck front lever and tuck back lever 10s each.
Feelsbadman
>>42226168
Thanks anon, at least you're honest.
>>42226182
Lean bulk. Emphasise chest.
Lookin great breh.
>>42226196
Thanks bruh, my chest is pretty stubborn but I'll definitely add some extra volume in the coming weeks.
>>42226182
Mirin your happiness
>>42226194
Just do squats and add some accessories and you should be fine. SQUATS AND OATS! GLUTES FOR THE SLOOTS
>>42226182
As others said great and also mirin happiness. My Simon's judgment is thicker core to go with your back, chest is good but if you're looking for something....
>>42223195
>That profile pic...
Fuck, that used to be me, kind of hits you right in the feels.
>>42223134
Liar, liar, pants on fire. There is no way you look like that and can pull those numbers. Quit shitting everyone.
>>42226126
2.5 years then a 6 month injury, 9 months back it. Shit progress but I started at 165 so not too upset about it. Was at 255 over last winter but holding too much fat.
>>42226134
i'm similar, I think it's low test, or at least low test for a while during puberty maybe
>>42226292
I do mainly calisthenics and truth be told I neglected legs a crapton.
Started doing 3x8 squats using my 56lb weighted vest and will slowly up it to a max of 80lb 3x8 along with deep step ups 3x8 which I also do. Going to learn how to do 1 leg step up and then pistol squat eventually.
Regardless, I have definitely 100% neglected my legs and I'm hoping that will help me out a lot.
Thanks anon.
>>42226366
I haven't gotten my full beard and I have tiny woman's wrists (which I weirdly quite like). Honestly, if there's 2 things I could fix about myself right now I'd pick my wide hips and gyno over my acne to be honest.
>>42226382
If you can work with a barbell it works a bunch of stuff better than the vest, mainly for the stabilizing muscles and weight distribution (not to mention weight capacity, if you want good legs and better core 80 lbs is unfortunately not enough). If you only have a vest wear it and do normal ab exercises. I believe in you; We're all gonna make it
>>42226134
become a trap
Need to be in my prime for mid September. Currently bulking, should I cut, if so, when?
Is there hope boys to get a good bod with my shitty proportions and small bones ?
I'm 18 years old | 6ft2 | 78kg , btw a scale that calculate bodyfat at the pharmacy say that i'm 20% bodyfat with 14kg of fat in total ( i need to lose 7kgs of fat to get to 10%) is it legit or am i just underestmating my bodyfat ? ( most of the fat that i can pull is in my boobs , thights and lowerback )
Also gonna start the gym tomorrow what routine and diet do you recommend to a weak fag like me ?
Last question , do i have gyno ?
I stay around 7% year round
>>42226537
> 7%
I think you're a bit confused friend, that's closer to 12%.
>>42226499
when you can't stand yourself. Always bulk unless you need to be shredded for a reason. cutting takes a fraction of the time
>>42226537
Its not a 7% but who cares you look awesome!
>>42226535
why dont u try lifting and eating skelly boy
Everybody want bulk/cut advice but ain't no body want to lift heavy ass weights.
Me currently. Don't know what to do with my body to get a aesthetic physique. 6 ft 3 200 lbs. Can any anon recommend me a routine/diet plan?
5'9'' 165lbs an a BF% check would be great!
5'7, 149 lbs. Been losing weight since January & started off at 193.
How many more lbs do I have to lose before I lose these love handles & remaining stomach fat? I (think I) want to have a lean base before I start a lean bulk.
I am hoping I can hit close to 1/2/3/4 for reps by next May and at least look normalfag muscular/fit.
pls i just want to eat pizza all day like chad
>>42225002
>>42225087
>>42225215
Lol - thanks for the honest feedback. I live in FL so the tan line is pretty much year-round. I haven't lost a ton of weight, but I've gained a TON of strength.
My machine numbers are something like:
Push:
Incline Press - 295 (machine maximum)
Overhead Press - 325 (machine maximum)
Pull:
Lat pulldown - 200 (machine max is 200)
Row Pull - 200 (machine max 250)
Legs:
Squat - 400 (machine maximum)
outward kick - 200 (machine maximum)
I can freestanding L-sit-to-handstand-pushup (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ag3qzsi1Bw), ring muscle up, back lever, etc.
Why do you ask if I lost weight?
>>42223098
Yeah before I started
Few months later
>>42225002 <- me
>>42228220 <- you
ARGH. I'm 5'9", 165. My scale (which sucks) says 23-24%. I don't know whether to trust it, but I think I look a little bit then you at similar size/weight category.
Help me /fit/ you're my only hope
>>42228828
Could go either way. If I were you, I'd probably bulk - but depends on your goals.
That said - mind a comment on me?>>42225002
6'4" 205. Bulk or cut? Could someone give me an estimate of my BF%

>>42228061
kill yourself. you are the ugliest thing i have ever seen & there is no hope for you
>>42228061
too little muscle to cut, do a bulk with not too much excess. You seem new so you can just start with the main 4 and accessories fitted for every session
>>42228828
Keep bulking and i hope you do squats
>>42228457
P-pls respond guys
Should I bulk?
Plus tips on bulking and keeping aesthetics
looking for advice
Anyone know what bf%?
>>42230665
Bulk. I found good results from the Occam Protocol + shitton of protein (~1.5g/# daily) + creatine (one teaspoon daily). Real results set in after ~20 days after fully creatine dosed in the system. Went from 165 to 188.
>>42225002 (I suck at cut, however)
>>42228457
I got ya, bro. If I were you, I'd probably bulk (strength is important to me).
Do you mind me?
>>42225002
>>42222275
you should try lifting
>>42228803
I use navy body calc and it says 17% and from the times I've posted before,everyone has said 15-17% Neither of us are 20%+ lol
>>42230700
Thanks friendo.
Maybe cut for 2 - 3 months then bulk for infinity
What would you say my bf% in each of these pics?
I swear 90% of all people asking this are skinnyfat beginners who could still make gains at maintenance.
>>42231154
40 on the left, 30 on the right
>>42231154
30 on the left, 40 on the right
>>42228457
bulk of course, and do some chest. Lookin good brah
>>42231154
16% and 12%
>>42231475
the pics were taken literally 10 seconds apart.
>>42231557
Lighting, posing and flexing all makes a difference. I would still say those numbers as what they look like. If your point was to trick me, well done i suppose
Lifting for a year now, eating at maintenance. Just been cutting out processed shit and increased protein to 120g minimum. Not really tracking anything else. 5'10, 180. Cut or bulk and how many lbs do I need to lose to see those fucking abs?
>>42231598
i would bulk to around 200 and then cut but tell us about those scars on your chest and shoulders
>>42222275
I this a troll post? Why the fuk would you want to lose weight. Start actually lifting and not just showing up and the gym and maybe you'll see some results, faggot.
>>42231690
Got attacked by a bear cub when I was little. That's what i tell everyone haha, I just used to be pretty fat. Man bulking seems scary bro I never want to be fat again.
>>42231753
you seem to have ok arms behind the fat but chest and shoulders need more mass.
bulk until you disgust yourself and then cut?
>>42231748
i feel like that pic makes me look skinnier than I am. See this post >>42225179
>>42222275
Bulk until February then cut and you'll be in good shape for next beach season.
>>42231927
Maybe I'll do that. What bf% am I? I'm thinking like 15?
Been cutting for a month now, should I keep going or start to bulk? I've only been lifting for about 6 months
Been bulking for about a month. Should I keep going or cut?
Ignore shitty anchor tattoo.
>>42232442
For you, I'd probably bulk - you don't look *strong*, so if you cut you just cut down to "skinny". What are your numbers?
>>42232507
I'd keep (clean) bulking. No abs? Do you even core bro?
>>42232511
I thought I'd cut down to see some definition before I bulk, but after a month of cutting I can't really see my abs except for a faint outline.
I'm an autiste and have no one to go to the gym with, so I've never tested my max before, but at my most recent gym sessions I squatted 180 (lbs), benched 140, OHP'd 95 and DL'd 250.
What should I do dude?
>>42232523
Not enough I suppose lol. Good exercises for core?
>>42232574

Fell off my cut for a bit when I moved cities, getting back into it now. Gonna keep cutting till I hit 165 (or I can see abs, which ever comes first) then I'm gonna lean bulk back to 200 over the next year. So fucking glad to be back in a proper gym rather than a rural planet fitness.

Here is the "Level 1" of the Gymnastic Bodies "Foundation" series. This is literally *the start* of the program. There are 6 progressions for Foundation 1, and more in Foundation 2/3. When I say "this is the start", I mean it. This is LEVEL ONE of about 18.
Hollow Body Hold - 5x60sec.
Plank Scapular Shrug 5x15
Arch Body Hold - 5x60sec
Tuck Up - 5x15
Deck Squat - 5x15
Incline Pushup (GOOD FORM!) - 5x15
Hinge Row (on rings, ideally) - 5x15
GMB has been criticized for making the entry level items unreasonably difficult. That said - it GETS HARDER FROM THERE.
Just looking at you, I suspect that you cannot make it through a single set (its hard, no doubt).
An alternative program is the P90X Ab Ripper (which is much easier, but still pretty good).
I tried cutting (semi-ottermode would be acceptable for this summer), but it looks like I might be too retarded to actually shed some bf% even though I autistically weight literally everything I eat and do 30-60min of intense cardio almost daily. Should I just start bulking?
>177 cm, 76 kg
>been lifting for about 8 months, seriously 5
>>42235258
You have zero actual muscle mass. Just eat healthy, cut out processed shit, eat ~130g protein, eat ~2000 calories and lift hard.

BULK THE FUCK UP

154 lbs
6'1-6'2
My main focus is building my chest, for some reason it just won't grow like my other muscles.
Due to school letting out I letting out I haven't been eating right and went from 170-155 in the matter of months, haven't worked out since April or possibly longer ago.
I now have a car and I make about 250$ every two weeks, I want to bulk but I don't know how to cook or budget when it comes to food. Any advice would be appreciated, especially when it comes to food and chest workouts.
