I have a holiday in 8 weeks and was planning to cut for it however im feeling small 2 weeks into this cut and just want to get back on the bulk train. 6ft 2 93.5kg around 4 year’s training 21yo. Last pick me at the start.

I’ve been cutting for 6 months (down 40lb). What do you think my current bf% is?

Been cutting for about 6 months now and still have some belly fat left that doesn't wanna go and it's pissing me of fr I kinda wanna keep going till it's gone and then keep it off forever since I don't wanna go through this shit again.. but strength is bad and idk anymore. So bulk now or cut a Lil more and then bulk since am so close anyway?

Body fat percentage would be greatly appreciated! Really unsure whether to maintain or bulk.. cutting further probably a bad idea but I got like 0 abs so..

Guessing around 16-17% bf?

Asian women love to look skinny, however coming from being skinny before, i want to be strong. It’s also because of postural problem, so muscles are needed to fix my posture. Generally it’s harder for me to gain weight. I literally need to gain 2kg in 6 months. That’s how hard for me to gain.

Then one day this woman at my gym, out of the blue, called me fat. But she said that well everyone has different body goal but yours is not my body goal. She wants to be skinny. Ok i get it, but it gets into my mind. I feel fat, so i spoke to my coach that i want to be in a cut, although coach said you should focus on building muscle instead, but she lets me do what i want to do. I went for a vacation recently at cold climate country, i accidentally dropped 2 kg weight in 15 days instead of doing it for at least 3-4 months. The image here is from that time when she said i was fat. Should i bulk again? I lost my strength and the loss of muscles makes my imbalance comes back, it makes me unstable again doing compound exercise.

I was 51 kg before trip, now i am 49 kg. Height 153 cm. First photo was before trip, second photo is current’s photo.

I've had some people say I need to build more muscle, I've had others saying I should cut more before I bulk, I've even been told to do maintenance while weight training, HELP ME!!

Ignore the goofy ass burn line 😭

I just lost 45 pounds, I'm estimating my current bodyfat at 15%. Should i keep going till 12 or bulk now? I'm not suffering from any diet fatigue and strength is not going down either. I still have a bit of a chubby face and puffy nipps that I want to get rid off. On the other hand I really want to put on size too. I do lifting, calisthenics and bouldering.

I gained weight but also don't want to lose any further muscle. I'm 6ft 188lbs.

5’7 currently 193, original plan was to bulk to 200. Feel like I’m still too DYEL to cut, but at the same time chunky and wanted a second opinion. Lifting numbers are solid/im happy with them, but visual wise still on the fence. Thanks!

I've been overweight for most my life and I've slowly just adjusted to eating healthier foods and naturally leaned down over time. I've never tracked calories but I'm thinking of starting to do bulk/cut phases for more optimal growth and aesthetics. Wondering how my current physique is and what you guys recommend? I posted 2 photos flexed and 2 photos relaxed in the morning.

Been slowly trying to recomp for a year, but I didn’t really know what I was doing for a long time. I’ve gained about 20 lbs. since starting.

Would a cut be meaningful at this point? Or should I keep trying to recomp and put on more muscle first?

Hi guys, new here on the subs and I figure I could use some advices here on my lower back/love handles.

I've (29M, height: 167cm) always been skinny fat with rather big belly fat. You can see some stretch marks on the picture.

Last year I was at 62 kgs with body fat around 25%. Starting beginning of the year I finally decided to work out (4-5days/wk) and pay attention to my nutrition (protein intake around 2g / kg body weight). I've managed to lose 10kgs quite quickly (in 4 months). Last scan showed I was already at 9% body fat (accuracy might be questionable here lol).

However, I cannot get rid of those love handles and lower back fat. This looks even worse when I bow, it showed clearly that I have like a pouch belly. So question is: are they actually fat or loose skin? Obviously I want to get bigger and more muscular so I have to go out from calorie deficit but I am worried about these love handles. What is the best approach to lose these love handles?

Really appreciate some insights from you guys, thanks! 😊

27M, 5’11, went from 182 lbs to 163 lbs in 3 months. Still have some fluff around the waist for sure, but feeling quite tired of cutting. Do I keep going or shall I start a slow bulk, like 250 cal surplus?

I’m 19 years old, 65kg, probably around 15% bodyfat.

Hey guys. 6'1 202lbs male here struggling to continue the cut. My body is really not liking getting below 200lbs. I was trying to hit 12% by the next month or two to give a nice runway for a long bulk through the end of the year at least but man is it getting difficult to lose any weight without nearly going below 2000cals a day. I'm finding myself starving all the time. All clean whole food diet, just incredibly hungry. Eating 200g of protein daily. I've included both flexed and unflexed pictures below. Upper back is pretty lean, carry most of my fat on midsection/love handles and lower back. Would love to get peeled but I miss eating lol. Would hate to start lean bulking too early and then have to start a cut before the end of the year. Really want to be bulking over the holidays. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks a ton.

I'm 23m 182cm, My waist is 85cm neck is 37cm. I've been cutting since jan from 94.7kg to now 82kg and I body fat of 24 percentage nearly. So this cut is exhausting me. Eating nearly 1900-2000 cals per day with 130-140g protein which I can afford now. My question is these love handles are very ugly to self reflect and this cut is exhausting me mentally. I tried going for 1800 calories but they give me headaches. I do 4x gym with 20 min cardio sessions with each gym day. I can not do more cardio due to my desk job. What should I do? Any expertise answer or experienced answer is more than welcomed. I've only left diet in july month but now my issue is I'm having a platueu at 82kg. . I don't know what to do. Gym sessions feel so stressed and daily life sucks with this prolonged cut. Help me out dear gym bros! 🙏🏻

19y 176lbs(80kg) 5'7 (170cm) 2.5 yrs of training
