Bulk/Cut purgatory thread

I am your weight and height except I must have much lower body fat.
Your post has helped me in its own way, user.
Also, right now you should focus on lifting and not consuming excess calories. I typically eat between 2-3k daily. See how much, and what you are eating, adjust it to a healthy level for your height, and revealute after a few months.

5'8/160 i feel like a chubbyboi rite now ;(

You have some excess fat, but nothing brutal. You look in-shape to me.

Why don’t you put a bit of leg work in instead of being a lazy cunt hopping on test? Pathetic

yeah but ideally you should start considering roids only once you get somewhat near your natural limit. despite all the memes on this autistic board, there are serious side effects of taking even just test. i would advise that you work out seriously for at least a couple years and do a lot of research on roids during that time. then re-evaluate at that point if the extra pounds of muscle is worth the risk. i personally would say unless youre going to compete or be a male model, it isnt worth it, but to each their own

for how long have you been lifting?

thanks user I appreciate you

A little over 2 years

Test doesn't even work if you're a lazy cunt. It's just testosterone man.

Is it possible to gain muscle on a cut?

Bulk on gear, dont listen to the natural limit retards your natty limit is 10 years away, with ur height you shouldnt be under 230-240

5'9" 160lbs lifting for 4 months
I was told I should bulk up for strength since I'm still pretty weak but I hate feeling like a fat piece of shit

Cut while lifting weights. You will still put on muscle while dropping fat because you have practically zero muscle. When you’re two months in and hit 145ish maybe think about bulking.

I’m honestly in awe of how fat you are at that height and weight

You really have no muscle mass to cut down to. I’d say bulk

5’8 163 lbs

Few people in cbt said I should start bulking but I’m don’t know if I want to yet. I’ve just been eating around maintenance the past month unsure of what to do next. Been lifting almost four months.

eat more protein, eat less carbs, workout more. and probably go heavier but don't hurt yourself.
also do some bench/pressups

>cutting to 10% as a natural
did you learn that in the El Retardo University?

I lift 6 days a week with bench twice a week, but my bench is really fucking weak, don't do push ups but I'll try to fit them in somewhere too.

Bulk
Maintenance heavy on the protein
Cut
Bulk ASAP
Since it's summer still, small cut, then bulk. Not much to lose. If that's a rash/skin condition, consider fasting instead.

Just start lifting

Thanks, wish I would've thought of that;

No I mean, just lift and eat real food, get your strength up, Roids are ok but you are nowhere near that stage...re-evaluate your goals and you will make it

Work out

My lifts are decent, not great though. Eat lots of real food too.

OHP: 145
Bench: 225
Squat: 290
Deadlift: 350

I was thinking about cutting more but I feel so small already. I started at a little over 185 and cut for three months. I also stalled on all lifts so I switched to maintenance and they started going up again. Idk what’s up with my stomach there, I think I was doing squats or something which made my stomach all red.

6’’3 270

Gonna keep bulking

Bulk ASAP skelly

lol

6'3" 190
Now instead of being lean and muscular looking, now I look pudgy and dyel

Only been lifting weights for 3 months, but bulking/staying active for 5 years.

Bulk for a full year. Aim for 230.

>5'8" /160lbs
How is this possible? I'm the same height but 178lbs, yet I can see my abs.

Did you forget that body fat % is a thing?

+
How the fuck do you not look skelly at all at 135 lbs? You can't be 6'3.

He looks more like 150-160 there. This what 6'3 at 135 looked like for me.

forgot the picture

Been lifting for two years kek

What shitty kinda program are you running to look like this after 2 years?

I mean its not that bad I’m at 15% bf

That's not 15%, you're closer to 25%.

That's not 15% and you barely have any muscle on you.

Unsure, my lightest was 125lbs.
My legs were terribly skinny and I'm not very thick front to back.

I think this is me after i had gained a few lbs.

Lmao its the lighting

No it's the fat. Lighting doesn't give you a higher BF%.

i keep on posting on this damn board most would say i should cut cause im such a fatty but my trauma from being skelly before keeps on telling me im still skinny (tho in reality im skinnyfat)

i look skinny on clothes and look gross naked with my fatass belly but i really dont want to cut and go back to skellymode. but if I do cut, wtf would i look like?

im 5'7" 147lbs btw i started last month at 139lbs

muscles are heavier than fat

6,1 183lbs, anyone have any experience with yohimbine+cardio+fasting? i wanna see abs

Former skelly here too.

Looks like your diet is out of wack and you're bulking too fast. Eat more protein, lift more, and cut. Then reevalate and do your bulk again. Just make sure you do your bulk right. You don't want to be growing tits, you'll regret it later.

Right now it looks like you're not putting on much muscle and you're just getting fat. You're probably like 30% body fat right now.

Spot the difference

yeah on my first month i just ate literally everything cause i wanna get bigger. i did get sliightly bigger and had some muscles mind you. like now i see traps and my arms are a bit toned. and my legs too.

i gained 8lbs after that month so yeah i think i did. so im starting to slow down with eating and just eating healthy shit. but honestly i still feel small like my proportions are like a womans body with skinny long legs and small torso

dont do this to me :(

forgot to post my measurements just so you can picture how small my frame is. wait is 33" and chest is 35" i think

Your body fat is still too high. You need to cut som of the fat first.

The lighting helps. 6’6” 205. Thinking of bulking to 220 by February. Bulk? Cut? Advice?

Attached: 09C7BFA7-F912-47FB-B7F9-F96CE003DCCB.jpg (2666x2070, 561K)

You're fucking 6'6, just keep bulking until 250.

If i cut will i look like skin and bones? Someone said here that wouldnt be the case. Im still traumatized from when i used to be 99lbs skelly

You shouldn’t cut or bulk you should lift consistently for 6 months while eating at maintenance and body recomp while you make noob gains then decide where to go from there.

Idk if I have much noob gains left

>OHP: 145
>Bench: 225
>Squat: 290
>Deadlift: 350

Idk you look kind of high bf% rn but it’s possible you just lack ab muscularity. I’m guessing you took advice here to eat big to get big and ended up bulking too much. How much was your skelly weight?

At my smallest I was 117. Started bulking but didn't start lifting with my bulk until I hit 135. Bulked to 230, cut to 190, and here I am. Unfortunately I never really trained abs when I bulked 100+ pounds.

Doesn't matter. If you bulk you'll just get fatter. Lean out first and reevaluate. It's not a race.

Cut or bulk?

Attached: 92019161.png (1534x2048, 2.62M)

wait so what do i do again? just eat normally?

Okay I thought you were a skinny fat noob in that case keep cutting you put on 20 lbs of fat with no muscle before you started lifting. I’d go till 180 (after you’re eating at maintenance and have replenished glycogen). Do daily ab training and don’t over train your transverse abdominus compared to rectus. If you cut right you shouldn’t loose much muscle and will probably gain muscle on your abs.

180 at 6'5 is fucking tiny. I'd rather have a small amount of body fat than be a skelly again.

You're a whiny little bitch and you will never escape skinnyfat.

and who are you?

He's just some anonymous asshole, don't listen to him. Just fix your routine and you'll make it.

why don't you actually start lifting and eating right before you "hop on test" you fucking retard

I do lift and eat right. No need to be rude my guy.

How much should I bulk?

If you're 160lbs then you're lying about your height. I'm 5'8 and about the same bodyfat and I'm 185lbs. I'm bigger than you but not 25lbs of muscle bigger. My guess is you're 5'5 tops unless you're lying about your weight you should be at least 170lbs at 5'8

lifting nearly 6 months. 3 months bulking.
74kg - 80kg
183cm

those hips, you should trap bro

yea but i still dont know what to do? Just eat at maintenance? Or just eat like i used to do? Tho i am cutting out junk food

doubt i'd pass with a beard

Somebody's lying about their height. 6'3 135 would look like an Auschwitz survivor.

Clean bulk

i see fat but i dont see skinny

cut

No offence mate but it looks like you just gained fat. What progress did you make on your lifts?

I actually have an image reference for this

This is me from 2012, when I was 6'4.5 and 135 lbs (60 kg)
And this is the FLATTERING picture

You could maintain. Give your skin a little time to tighten and get used to being light. Depends on what you want.
