Bf% and when should I begin bulking? Pics

[Prodigy94]

Hey,
I'm about 5'11-6'0 and 182lbs. What would you guys say my bf% is? Had an important question: how much more weight should I lose/cut until I begin bulking? Thanks in advance!

15%-17%, I suggest you get down to 10% than start clean bulking from there.

I don't have much muscle mass brah, what do you suggest?

The reason you dont have alot of muscle is why you can gain muscle mass while burning fat, I would cut.

Lifting will help

Do a long ass bulk it will be worth it. Then cut

hes in the 30%s, ffs. If he was 15% bodyfat at those stats he would have as much lean body mass as father flex.

There is no shortcut. It may be a while before you reach your ideal physique. In my experience I cut for a long time and it got me tired and my lifts halted and it starts to feel like you have made no progress. It's all preference in the end. Your options are cutting for a while longer which might take longer than you expect - and end up looking like a skeleton, or you could put on some muscle - which would get you some fat but overall I think would improve your physique. I would pick bulk because you are already very skinny, but it's really up to you.

you mean "dem teddies" lol

@ OP: i would clean bulk if i were you. i dont see the point in being lean and not having much muscle.
Try clean bulking on IF, i'v seen a lot of people get good results from it

Lose 10 or 15 lbs and then bulk.

i would suggest you to do some pure cardio for a few weeks to get yourself in good physical shape, then start eating crazy much and lifting crazy hard..

Nice work!

Imo from a psychological perspective i would cut to around 10% then bulk, you dont have that much muscle mass no but when you have a high bf% and you bulk its hard to see gains in the mirror sure you will get bigger but you will still always look fat with no definition due to your high bf % and docent help motivation at all, at least if you cut you have a lean base to work with that is alot more pleasing to look at in the mirror imo its much easier to stay motivated bulking when your lean that when your body fat is already high but its totally up to you.

Personally I would bulk, especially because it's coming up to winter and so your not exactly going to be walking around topless anyway.


BUT it depends on your pshyche, some people simply can't handle putting on a bit of fat and if your one of those people then cut. In the end of the day it's all about personal preference.
