Bulk or cut? 18M 179cm 63kg

[u/Miserable_Noise9979]

Hey guys,

I’ve been lifting on and off for the past year and feel like I haven’t made a great amount of progress - I feel like this is because of a mix of fuckarounditis and poor diet. Havent been lifting for the past -3 months, and unfortunately I’ve broken my wrist so I’m out for another month or so. I also train martial arts 3-4 times a week for hour or two sessions

I feel like I have a decently lean physique, but carry a lot of fat in my face, particularly my cheeks. I’m thinking of cutting for 4 weeks while I’m still recovering from my injury and then starting a slow bulk after.

I’d also appreciate any advice on a routine. I have been trying to use the Reddit PPL, as it has a lot of volume which I feel is good for hypertrophy, but mixed with my martial arts train in it’s a lot of time spent training. If anyone has a routine which they’d recommend I’d be keen.

Thanks!

You’re skinny already bro, there’s very little to cut

Cut what exactly?

Don't cut as there's really no reason. Instead, aim to lean bulk for 6months-1 year checking progress ~monthly. Reach out if you need help with programming to ensure the bulk is as lean as possible.

Pick up the fork for half a year before even thinking about cutting
