Pretty soon ill be finishing my SS linear progression and ive gotten fairly strong. Ive also gotten fairly fat. Ill do some stats for simplicity's sake. Im 180cm tall. Weight listed is all for 5 reps. Start of SS: BW: 70kg Bfat: 20-22% Squat:70kg Deadlift:90kg Bench:60kg Press:40kg
So my lifts have improved a lot and all but ive gotten noticeably fatter. Im planning on stopping SS when I reach a 3 plate squat, a 2 plate bench and a 3 and a half plate deadlift. Until now weights are still fairly easy. So when should I stop my linear progression? Where will it likely finish? Should i cut after im done with ss? I dont wanna be a fatso. Pic unrelated
>BW:87kg >Bfat:25% You fucked up son. If you cut you will easily drop down into the low 70s if not high 60s. Cutting isn't a straight conversion of % - fat next time work out your tdee and don't go crazy on the bulk eating junk food every day.

>BF:25%
yikes...

I haven't been bulking with junk food. Ive eating healthy shit but a fuck ton of it. I dont wanna get crazy lean, I prioritize having big lifts over abs but I dont wanna be a fatass either. Still, i dont look fat right now but i definetly dont look lean either.

Btw, I get my bf % out of a digital scale I have. You input your height and then since it knows your weight it tells you your bf%. Idk how accurate that thing is. 25% seems a little too much.

Cut or bulk?

>i dont look fat 25%
Pick one
I understand you started high but you should have cut to the low teen % and then bulk up. It is a long tough road back from here for you. I'm trying to give you serious advice I made the same mistake and there is no denying you are fat. Even if you were to cut down to 15% which would only give you the slightest abdominal definition you would have to lose 10% which would be 10kg or more of total mass and at 0.5kg loss a week would take you 20 weeks, close to six months. Do you really want to cut for that long?

>I understand you started high but you should have cut to the low teen % and then bulk up. It is a long tough road back from here for you. From what I have seen, there is always people who tell skinny fat people to do "SS+gomad". That is probably why skinnyfat people keep showing up here after having bulked to simply fat, lifting something close to 1/2/3/4.

Your call on this one bruh, you ain't fat or shredded, you want to be bigger or leaner in the immediate future?
