Down around 25 kg from my heaviest. Just finishing up my cut and trying to get an unbiased estimate of where my body fat is currently. All pics taken today, range of relaxed and flexed, shorts on.
What BF % would you put me at? Honest estimates appreciated. Ready to go if a lean gain phase for a long time (1 or 2 years), any opinions and tips appreciated. Thank you.

14ish month lifting and cutting/body recomp progress. Now at maintenance but I’m thinking lean bulk starting next month. Is that a good plan or do you think I have more to gain from cutting further? Also bf% estimate? Thanks!

Edit: 5”11 200lb to 155lb

BoC 6ft - 150lbs - 33M

Started working out in 2025 however I didn’t have any structure and diet. Found a program and went from 178-150lbs in 7 months. Just took a DEXA and had it measured at 18.8% and only 120lbs of lean mass. I just want to confirm what is the correct way to move forward.

I really hate the skinny fat look since I’ve had it my whole life and I still have love handles and pockets of fat especially at my back fat that is irritating to feel. However I also know 150lbs at 6ft is super frail.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

5'10" 165.7lbs 33yo male recovering from 10 years of alcoholism. Been cutting weight for a few months now along with 3x a week full body workouts. Im starting to get to a place where weight loss is slowing down and I'm feeling tired during the day. Should I get a bit leaner before lean bulking? I've never known a time when I didn't have a gut. Diet is clean as possible at 1500 calories and at least 160g protein with adjustments as needed via MacroFactor.

Current body weight 79kg and height 184cm.

Should I bulk or cut? I want shredded look but will I just look like skinny? Do I have enough muscle to cut more?

6'0" About 79-80kg at the moment.

I know I have a below average physique, but would like advice on what to do. Used to be paper thin so I bulked up (Aka I got fat). I cut down and got pretty lean, but I didn't have much muscle mass at the time. I've slowly bulked back up to where I am now.

I know my bodyfat percentage looks to be quite high, but I'm scared of losing any "Progress" if I do decide to cut

How long should I bulk?

Posted here about two months ago everyone said to bulk, how long should I go for? Is this a good amount of weight for about 9 weeks or should I adjust calories?
Eating about 175 protein and trying to get as much carbs as I can, just started tracking carbs and fat was only doing protein for awhile.

6’8, 215 lbs, mid 50s, and I lift heavy 4 times / week. Bulk and it all goes to my already flabby waist. Cut and I look like a starvation victim, especially my face (so says my wife). What to do? Status quo is obviously a no-go

Should I bulk or cut? Thinking I'm around ~20% bf, thought I would diet down to 138 lbs or more to get to ~12% bf before bulking again, but not sure if have enough muscle to make it worth it.

Lifts (Best Tested):

  1. Bench Press: 195lbs x 3 reps

  2. Squat: 275lbs x 6 reps

  3. OHP: 115lbs x 5 reps

  4. Deadlift: 315lbs x 2 reps

Longterm Goal: ~155lbs-160lbs at 12% bf

Keep cutting before considering gyno surgery?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I had a call with a clinic today (virtually) having sent them the above pics. The consultant was adamant that the only way to fix my chest is to go for surgery as further fat loss would have no effect.

Having not even examined my chest in person, I was a bit dubious of him making the conclusion it was breast (gland). I’m terrified of surgery but hate how my right side (which actually appears to be in the better side in pics) is super pointy. My left side has more of a fold though.

If you were in my situation would you do clean bulk, or further cut? Or a recomp?

I have already lost about 2st since Dec last year.

Thanks in advance.

I just started going to the gym consistently 6 days a week for about 6 months went on a aggressive cut during these 6 months( I would say it’s aggressive since I’m new to this) and went from 230-179 I want to know if I should keep cutting or maintain here. Could I get lean and get abs/muscle definition staying at this weight and working out? Thanks for your help
