5 month physique

[Deleted member 24275]

Currently 160 5’9 guessing about 18% bf. Thinking about bulking 170 but don’t want to become pills Bourogh dough boy. Should I main gain, cut, or continue to bulk?

 

[Deleted member 24275]

Don’t have before pics (negative iq) but was essentially skinny fat.

 

[Yuno_howitez]

Time to cut

 

[Deleted member 21340]

cut tbh
being lean is life
dont fall for the bulking meme, its not worth being fat for half the year in return for minimal gains

 

[Magnum Opus]

That isn't 18%, closer to 22%

 

[Deleted member 24275]

Yeah

cut tbh

but don’t you gain muscle super slowly will being lean?

 

[Deleted member 24275]

Oh okay. Honestly that’s kinda better. Means I’ll have a bit more definition if I cut

 

[Magnum Opus]

Then don't bulk again to be honest. People use the winter as an excuse to look like shit but it matters

At least don't dirty bulk because fat especially negatively impacts the face

Yeah I’m starting think I should probably just cut now

 

[Deleted member 21340]

Yeah

yes but the bulk-cut cycle isnt worth it
face is king and to have the best looking face you could possibly have you have to be lean

if you want to build an abundance of muscle, take sarms/roids
but dont be a retard while doing so, youre not trying to be a body builder

Ok, is there a way tho to look lean without being scrawny?

 

[jake_okok]

Tbh u should probs be on maintenance whilst lifting hard
I feel like u might end up with a shitty physique (fat-skinny/minimal muscle) if u cut rn

But ye u also dont need to bulk lol, i would just keep lifting for a couple months then go on a cut when it gets warmer

jfl lose weight and hit the gym hard, you need to train until you can't lift no more and eat lots of protein, in 6 months more you gonna build good amount of muscle

 

[Deleted member 8608]

also train upper body 3 times a week, do 4 sets of 5 exercises (bench press, pulldown, inclined dumbell press, biceps curl and back) and 8-12 rep, be sure every set lasts for 30-45 seconds, for lower body do squat, leg press, leg extension, calves and hamstring. Train hard and you'll see how much muscle you gain.

 

[zeek]

cut a little more then lean bulk long term with short cuts/fasts

 

[jojoyou]

Gymming for the past 10 months fresh

Yeah I did sports mainly track cycling and track athletics. That’s why I skip leg days

Yeah I’m currently doing
Monday: Chest and tri’s
Tuesday: Back and Bi’s
Wednesday: Legs, including quad, thighs, hamstrings etc.
Thursday. Shoulders and delts
Friday: isolation biceps, triceps, and forearms

I think one reason the physique looks so shitty is because the high bf% doesn’t show much definition but idk

You have to bulk if you actually want to make good progress as a natty. People on this site are biased against it because it's a looksmaxxing site, and when you bulk, your face loses definition/attractiveness.

But if you delay gratification, and spend years bulking with ocassional cuts and repeat the process, you will end up with a mogger physique that shits on people who stay lean all the time and are afraid to bulk.

You have to try it yourself. Spend a year in a moderate calorie surplus while pushing progressive overload hard and getting fucking strong. When you do cut, and strip away the fat. you're going to be significantly more jacked at low bodyfat

So should I bulk to 170 or go even further?

 

[softlysoftly]

yes bulk to 175 from 160 but keep the protein intake to at least 1gram per pound of bodyweight and try to be in a moderate calorie surplus where you gain 2-4 pounds in a month and you have to push yourself in the gym
everytime you go try to add 5lbs or one or two extra reps with the same weight

 

[reptiles]

Your gyn routine seems alr i mean maybe your diet is fucked but i maybe being unresitic with natty results.



Make sure to drink tons of water.

Sounds about what I do now, but I’ll continue to bulk. I’ve been told I’m at 22% bf. What’s the optimal bf% to have year round? Even when bulking, that is
