I'm 5'6 and weigh about 158 pounds, and have an estimated 15% body fat.
Advice on what to do?
Bulk?
Cut?
Critique my physique!
Thanks!

In your instance, it's really a function of personal preference as you have enough mass to support a successful cut, but you could also use a bit more mass if you want a really impressive physique (IMO).
Anyway, if I were you, I'd bulk.

I'd use the mirror rather than a scale weight, but if I were to guess, about 10 to 15 pounds of additional muscle mass and you'd have a great base.Originally Posted by stanislawskia

Alright, that sounds good. I have another quick question if you don't mind. What do you think my body fat % is? Would you agree with 15%, because this is just my estimate.

Yea idk what that guy meant lolOriginally Posted by Tdiguy
Would you recommend a slow, clean bulking cylce now for about 4-5 months then begin a cut cycle? Or cut now and bulk later? Thanks"The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent."
