Hey guys, new here.
Was tired of looking and feeling like ****. Started hitting the gym 8 months ago and living a healthier lifestyle. Started with a 2 month cut, then I bulked for 4 months, now I just finished another 2 month cut for summer. I was aiming for 10-12% on this cut. The BF scale at my gym put me at 16%, but i don't think its accurate..
Open to suggestions on things i should work on.
Thanks!

Great results, OP! I'd say you're ~ 10-11 % right now.

Good job. Now put 10-15 more lbs of muscle on and you'll be the most aesthetic guy at the beach.

Never neglect your legs! You'll grow a lot more if you never skip leg day.

Diet on the cut: ITF with caloric deficit. Protein was 1g per lbs. didn't pay super close attention to carbs or fat, however I did experiment with cutting out carbs for a week, noticed some faster weight loss. Also avoided any sugar or junk food.
Diet on the bulk: Again , high in protein. A lot less strict with sugar and junk. Caloric surplus was 200-300 for the first bit then I upped it to 500. Gained too much fat with the 500 so decided to cut down to 10-12% for summer and try a clean bulk again after.
Routine: push , pull, legs , off , repeat.
I change my workouts for each day after a month, either the order of which I do them of new exercises.
Hope that's what you were looking for

Thanks man I appreciate it. I started off with a cut, I cut prolly until 15% body fat or so(not sure) then bulked followed by another cut. I'm now prolly around 10% big. If I could do it again I'd prolly cut down a lot lower on the first cut then try and aim for a gain of 1 pound per month. But live and learn. I'll prolly aim for the 1 pound per month or so after summer to ensure that I gain almost exclusively muscleOriginally Posted by Skizzy4325

Nice man, you went from someone who looks like an IT office nerd to looking like an athlete.
Love seeing results like this. And 8 months was a very fast time frame to achieve it in.
