Should I continue with fat loss, or am I lean enough?

[defiledx]

Ok, I've had an extremely confusing time in another thread, where I asked for my diet to be critiqued.

The thread title name is: "Is this diet good for fat-loss?" in the nutrition section...

Alright, so if you'd like to view my profile and see the pictures of my progress.

I've been trying to lose fat to get to 8% bf, however, am I lean enough to stop and start bulking?

Do I have loose skin, and am I confusing it for fat? I think I'm still going to be fat unless I get down to 80 kilos.

Not really sure what I should do... I've been on a deficit of 500 cals, then I went down to 800 cals. So far I'm 87.1 kilos, from 92 kilos a month a go.

Help!!!!


Bah... So confused


Thanks for the help

normally i'd advocate cutting until you're happy but you will be way to skinny at 6'7 you really shouldn't be dropping under 200lbs, slow bulk for a good 6 months or so then re evaluate where you are, as it is you would look terrible at 8%

That's what I'm thinking about doing, but I want to start leaner and go up. I'm thinking about waiting out this month and starting a slow bulk in October.

Is a slow bulk adding 200 calories over your maintenance?

Anyways, I'd like to get 82 or 83 kilos then start it.

Is that a good idea?

Get to under 8 % bf and after that bulk it up !

[FatScottishGuy]

Looking at your pictures you look like someone that seriously needs to add some serious mass...If I were you I would start bulking for sure

[SofaKingWhat27]

Holy cow man, don't worry about fat loss you're plenty lean.

Start eating heavy and lifting heavy NOW! You need some mass and you should start right away!

Bulk, bulk, bulk.

And bulk.

Seriously. Bulk.

[SLO]

Use those raging 19 year old hormones (basically natural steroids) and start lifting heavy nao!

6'7" and skinny fat is no way to go through life, son!

[SilvaMan61]

BULK.

You really need to focus on putting on a good amount of quality lean mass. After a slow long bulk you will have a better base to cut down to.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR INPUT Really appreciate it!

I've been finding it hard to cut the fat down, and that's prob because I haven't gotten the very foundation of muscle yet on my body. So, I got to write up a plan now, and find a training program. In another section, I asked the same thing. I was told to do 5x5 training, and I think that would be beneficial for the first month. Then, I think 5,3,1 or something like that. I only have 4 - 5 months of lifting experience, so I'll ask someone on the forums to help me out.

I'm a follower of Matt Ogus, so I'd like to do something similar to him (not eat as much as him). But, I might have to find something to suit my genetics (being tall, etc), don't know...

Thanks again

5 x 5 will do you for much longer than a month. You could easily do this for a year to add some mass. Try to eat around +500 on your maintenance while youre on 5 x 5 as you will need the extra to grow and increase your lifts. Make sure your macros are right. Plenty of people and artiles on here can help you with this.

I was thinking of Kris Gethin's DTP, but there's no way I could follow his nutrition and supplementation 100%... The only sups I'll have are whey protein, multi vitamin, vitamin c tablets, magnesium. But it depends on what I eat. I haven't had dairy for a months upon months...
