I’m 5 10 and 153lbs. Should I continue the cut?

Been training my core more and just want to hit 15% body fat

do I continue lean bulking till around December or start the cut now

been training for 2 years now

Training for 6 years. Obviously the answer is lean bulk as always. Thought about cutting more, just to See how it would Look ?

Any other advice is appreciated :)

Hi all, I was told back in May to do a lean bulk in order to build muscle.

I'm doing 4 days gym (push, pull, legs, full body) and 3 days running.

I'm eating (based on an app I have where I track what I eat) 2600 calories per day + what I burn (what my garmin feeds me). Macros are 129g proteins, 322g carbs, 86g fat, however I always go more proteins and carbs, usually around 144g proteins and 400g carbs.

I'm discouraged because it looks like all I eat goes into the belly and not actually building muscles, also I'm aware I have an anterior pelvic tilt which I'm working on it.

My question is, do I continue with this lean bulk or should I cut the fat and then lean bulk?

Last pic is not flexing.

Originally intended to cut over Summer but didn't really go to plan. I seem to fluctuate from thinking I'm scrawny to feeling fat... So would appreciate some outside guidance

For reference, I train 3-5 times a week and do PPL. Have been training more seriously for ~6 months, but prior to that had a history of being very on/off with my gym commitment

Ive been bulking for 2 months, first time. Put on 5.5 lbs muscle since the last dexa scan. Im just wondering how long I should keep going?

Also I feel my back is the weakest part but idk give feedback idk where I need improvements

also a question which body type women will like more.?

btw dms open for more pics

I’ve been living between 230-250lbs for about 3 years now. Pretty consistent in the gym, but I can’t figure the diet part out. I mean I get how to do it, but I keep fucken up after a week or so of trying to eat right.

Should I lock in and lean out or does this look aight. I’m not gonna lie, I’m not a fan of what my stomach looks like when I’m walking directly into the wind

Been eating at maintenance for a few months. On the fence about cutting again to really get shredded, or just start bulking hard now.

Looking for some advice here! My starting weight was ~194lb (88kg) and i've managed to lose about 9kg through running and some strength training (although tbh, haven't really been pushing myself as much as I should there).

Ideally my goal weight was 75kg (165lb) but that was a bit of an arbitrary number i made up.

Trying to work out where to go from here. My weight loss has been slow, so getting down to 75kg might take a while (I'm not in a rush though). Not looking to be huge, just more toned/fit physique.

Attached a before and after

Confused if I should bulk or cut gym 5x a week 12k steps a day + 20 min cardio

Hey guys,
I’m 27 years old, 6’3", and currently weigh 212 lbs. I’ve been lifting since i was 21 but without following any diet and without consistency.

First off, I have pectus carinatum, which means my chest sticks out. I’ve had it since birth. I grew up in a developing country where braces weren't an option, and since they work best for teenagers, it’s a bit too late for me to go that route now.

Where I Need Advice:
Upper Chest: I view this as my biggest weakness. I train it a lot, but I'm not seeing results.

Back/Posture: Because of my chest condition, I feel like I have a bit of a hump. No matter how much I train my back, it never feels like enough to correct it.

General Progress: Will I start seeing big results now that I'm eating in a structured surplus? What else should I improve on? Should I bulk or cut? Im confused and I don’t understand.. I hope you can help me.
