Not all all, with a decent work-out program, you could gain 20-25 pounds of pure muscle with little fat gains; if you're relatively new to lifting.

I'd recommend a gradual bulk to attain more...

Time for a bulk, dexa scan is definitely wrong - bodyfat is about 19%

You're right, i woudn't bother cutting. You'd be about 130 pounds @ 10% and you'll just look skinny. Bulk for another year, then cut.

Depends how aggressive your deficit is and how much body % you are gonna loose. When you're dropping from like 20-10%, there will always be muscle loss, you cannot avoid this. Expect about 20% muscle...

Muscle atrophy takes around 12 weeks before muscle breakdown occurs. 2 weeks / 3 weeks is plenty. In fact, the rest period will most likely be very beneficial for recovery (central nervous system...

Solid progress for 3 years, definitly some thick triceps, but where's your back/traps at?

I never burn more than 300 calories weight training.

I eat 1900 calories when sedentry on a cut, decrease your calorie intake. You're 165 pounds, you shouldn't be cutting at 5ft 10. Time you hit 8% you'll be like 150 pounds of bone. Don't take this the...

Does not matter what BF you bulk from, unless you've got a medical condition like Hypothyroidism. Mass will be linear from 10% as it would be from 20% bodyfat, on the assumption the caloric intake is...

11% BF looks about right

It is possible that you are 11%. Whats your waist and hip size?? I'm the same size as you and height, and My upper abs we're visible at 15% BF - but as other poster have said, genetics play a crucial...

This is pretty much correct, even though fat oxidation is increased by fasted cardio, you can only burn around 31 calories per a pound of fat, and if you're eating more calories at the end of the...

Another thread where someone thinks they're eating 5000 calories.
