Working towards ottermode, been lifting for a little over a month now. Im still DYEL by Veeky Forums standards but I am wondering if I should be cutting or bulking. I lift 5 days per week.
ht: 6'2" wt: 167 lbs.
Parker Wright
Starting my cut now, I'm so fucking hungry all the time
Thomas Ward
You're dyel by everyone's standards. You should be bulking.
Henry Perez
Cut you are big by normie standards
Owen Evans
...
John Miller
why are you cutting? you need muscle
Jose Hughes
I usually drink a black coffee two hours after waking up. It helps with the hunger
Joshua Wright
dont bulk, get rid of the extra fat
William Walker
Both of you should be bulking you have literally no muscle, the fuck is wrong with you two??
Connor Watson
no sunblock edition
Andrew Diaz
You have some body fat but it doesn't stand out because you don't have muscle underneath...
You need to just eat a little bit above maintenance and keep working out. Do that for 18 months and then come check back in with us (if you're natty).

Chase Hernandez
>6'2 >167 >big african detected
Why are you cutting? You don't have muscle. You will become a skelly which is the second worst body type to females.
Low BF% only works when you have muscles which you do not.
Caleb Green
Sorry to say man but you are not muscular you should be lifting and eating.
What's your routine m80?
Brody Rodriguez
I've actually been pretty lucky, it looks a little wrinkly if I bend over but all in all not bad. It's only been 9 months though I assume it'll tighten over time.
Chase Wright
Nice work but Jesus Christ user if you are gonna visit the surface of the sun you gotta get some lotion.
Asher Brooks
180 seems a little low for 6'4 or is it just me?
Maybe you cut too early lad.
Jonathan Butler
nice job bro, mirin
Austin Murphy
Kek, ya it was an overcast day I thought I was safe apparently I'm too caucasian.

I don't want huge legs hence cutting out one of the leg days. Found the program on reddit and it seems to be working so far, all of my lifts are increasing. I also do 30 minutes of cardio 3 times per week.
(copy pasted from the post I found)
PULL Deadlifts 1x5+/Barbell rows 4x5, 1x5+ (alternate, so if you did deadlifts on Monday, you would do rows on Thursday, and so on) 3x8-12 Pulldowns OR Pullups OR chinups 3x8-12 seated cable rows OR chest supported rows 5x15-20 face pulls 4x8-12 hammer curls 4x8-12 dumbbell curls PUSH 4x5, 1x5+ bench press/4x5, 1x5+ overhead press (alternate in the same fashion as the rows and deadlifts) 3x8-12 overhead press/3x8-12 bench press (do the opposite movement: if you bench pressed first, overhead press here) 3x8-12 incline dumbbell press 3x8-12 triceps pushdowns SS 3x15-20 lateral raises 3x8-12 overhead triceps extensions SS 3x15-20 lateral raises LEGS 2x5, 1x5+ squat 3x8-12 Romanian Deadlift 3x8-12 leg press 3x8-12 leg curls 5x8-12 calf raises
Alexander Stewart
I am starting my cut today I know I am dyel, but would fit say that I should follow through with the cut or just do another summer bulk?
>5'8" >170lbs >used to be 132lbs 1 year ago
Excuse the pic, I am in my dorm bathroom
Samuel Edwards
I'm 175 at 5'9" and am pretty skinny, so I'd say it's very low
Juan Reed
Maybe. I actually worked down from 300 lbs, this is what I used to look like. I've always been cutting more or less but soon I'll do a real bulk for the first time ever.
I just wanna be fucking cut for once in my life
Charles White
I've lost like 15 pounds since the end of December by eating at a 700ish calorie deficit, lifting and shooting basketball at least 3 days a week, and playing heavy full court 1 or 2. I haven't put on shit for muscle because I'm not eating near enough. I'm afraid I'm gonna plateau before I get anywhere that doesn't look like shit.
Should I just say "fuck it" and eat at a surplus and attempt to put on muscle? I've also thought about throttling down on the deficit a bit to like 400 calories and see if I can make noob gains there.
Jose Morgan
No you fucking aren't skinny at that weight
Brandon Bennett
In that case congrats man.
Kayden Allen
Seems decent enough.
Weigh yourself every week, wanna be packing on some lbs right now. If the number ain't going up eat more more more.
Daniel Nguyen
Do I look good enough to impress Normie teen girls with my shirt off? I used to be a cardio junkie and know I need to bulk. All I really do are calisthenics and just recently some dumbells stuff.
Blake Morris
6'2" 170lbs Currently bulking 2nd week into my 2nd month
Jayden Long
At 6'4 you need to be 200lbs minimum
Gabriel Russell
good shit dude
Kayden Jackson
back pic plz
Jackson Cook
You have visible abs, of course you'll impress teenage girls.
Jeremiah Johnson
Shave those nipples pls
Cooper Diaz
~4 weeks into cut, making decent progress
Justin Morris
Do you have any leggings or compression tights?
Could you post a pic of you wearing said leggings?
>no homo
Hunter Barnes
Its like looking in a mirror, I fucking hate it.
Juan Morales
Kek, thanks lad
David Hall
How the fuck are you 170, I'm 6'1 and when I was 170 I definitely did not look that skelly.
Josiah Bell
yeh let me eat dinner first
Gavin Price
trying to pick up more gains from skellymode, starting to eat more. it's also improving how much energy I have during the day as well as my ability to wake up in the morning.
Dominic Davis
>All I really do are calisthenics and just recently some dumbells stuff. It shows
Jordan Jackson
mirin
stats?
Parker Campbell
just tryna lose these love handles
Julian Bennett
I am aware of this senpai. I am cutting down on cardio and focussing on eating a lot though. I don't want to pay for a gym right now because in 6 months I will have access to a good weightroom at my university. I am just hoping I will have a good base for when I start lifting.
Samuel Baker
>6'0 >170 left >190 now
Shall I continue bulking throughout the summer or is it already enough mass to look decent cut?
Henry Clark
6'1 210lbs
Samuel Lewis
Bulk you fucking twinks
Evan Wright
6'7" 241 lbs.
Is it time to start a cut for summer? DO I have the size or keep adding?
Blake Rivera
Frunt
Kevin Rivera
Id cut m'dude
Nathaniel Foster
Why would you expect to gain any muscle on a 700 calorie deficit? Lmao
Benjamin Fisher
>6'0" >166lbs >Started at 140lbs about a year ago >been eating ~3,200 cals/day >don't even do cardio that much
I feel like I'm not gaining as fast as I should, what gives? I'm eating as much as I can stomach/afford, and gain maybe 0.25lbs week
Jose Gray
Try tp up your shit to 4k cal/day
Nolan Phillips
>mirin
Nicholas Young
Bulk or cut ? 6'1" btw
Jayden Mitchell
I'm on a college meal plan, what's the best way to do that? I already eat 4 meals a day, lots of eggs, chicken, pasta, etc. plus protein after workouts. What's something cheap that's calorie rich?
Dominic Garcia
6 1 180 lbs
Christopher Torres
Nuts and nut butters Use more oil in your cooking Ramen noodles You can also sometimes find mass gainers on sale
Gabriel Jackson
...
Caleb Torres
Beans + oils.
Nuts may be too expensive to afford on a college poorfag budget.
>mass gainers
Go away.
Lincoln James
5'11" 170lbs, currently switching to a slow bulk till 185. Goal is thick mode.
Ryan Evans
please fuck my white boipussy
Oliver Long
I'm down 20lbs. Any guess on my current BF%? Does that look like gyno or just fat?
Jose Jackson
how do i get those shoulders bro
Matthew Brown
Depends on where the guy lives, I guess
hat's wrong with mass gainers? If you can get a tub for 20$ on sale, it's easy to drink for the amount of calories you get.
Matthew Ross
Thanks man. The only lifts I do for shoulders are these: Strict press: 155 1 rep max Split jerk: 185 1 rep max Klokov press: 60 for 10
Christopher Cruz
sorry for shit lighting
I'm 5'11" down to about 185 lbs, repping 185 ohp and 280 bench. just started squatting again after an injury flared back up, repped 3pl8 today
Zachary Jones
How am I holding up fit? Been lifting for a few months, and running as much as I can. Will post another below for two angles.
Wyatt Rodriguez
And yea, I know I'm small, but we're all gonna make it one day.
Levi Mitchell

Jeremiah Richardson
what do you do for abs?
Xavier Robinson
You're not 5'11 at 185, nice try 5'6 150 pound manlet trying to guess what he should weigh at 5'11
Carson Wilson
The only ab work I do is done in pt with the marines. So crunches until failure. Other than that it is mainly my diet. I try to eat really clean.
Carson Ramirez
clean bulk, work on arms, lats, and obliques
then youll be good to go
Henry Diaz
How many lbs are you down? You don't seem to have lost too much thiccness.
Gabriel Bell
lmao post body faget, I'll post a pic of my scale in the morning if you want
I peaked at about 195 back in december. I was ~186 this morning and just weighed myself after dinner, 191 lbs
Ethan Perry
What's your plan? Going below/near 10%?
Daniel Mitchell
Im 6'0 and you're bigger than me yet I've got 20 fucking pounds on you and we look to be around the same bodyfat. You're a frauding manlet fuck.
Alexander Anderson
somewhere around there probably, I'll see what I look like with an average weight of 185. I'd like to see how lean I can get while still keeping my strength, which for the most part I have so far
Asher Ramirez
bf% estimate?
Aaron Parker
Stop being so bitter, fatty.
Anthony Nguyen

Robert Cook
