nice work keep it going...im guessing around 9% body fat

[GiGZ]

looks pretty good, but my advice is you need to EAT more

[newt27]

i probably have no right to critique you, but i would say work on the bicep, mine is almost as big as yours.

[Joey Cage]

Looks great bro i'd say 9% too. How old are you? You look pretty young.

[OoFaP]

I don't know about 9%. His abs aren't really showing.

Looks decent bro, Id bulk tho, but thats just me.

[Adamisseyegh]

10 percent.

Are you looking to be large, as in bodybuilder large? If you aren't then ignore the rest of my post, since not everyone has the same goals of course.

If you are looking to be a bodybuilder, my input (as an old timer who has been through all this) would be why on Earth are you cutting? You should be eating, eating, and more eating and lifting heavy for several more years to build up a solid foundation. If you can get over being obsessed with "cuts" for 3 or 4 years you will be MUCH farther along in the process.

I see young skinny kids on these boards always "cutting" when they are already at 10 percent bodyfat or less and have no real muscle mass, yet they say they want to be big bodybuilders. You gotta give up the idea of being ripped and looking good for summer for a few years to get that real mass going.

You don't have to trust only me, read up what Dante (Doggcrapp) has to say about the need to devote your time to getting big, and yes a bit fatter, in order to maximize size gains. After you put on 30 pounds more muscle and 10 pounds of fat, then do a cutting cycle if you want and you will look like another person alltogether.

That being said, if your bodyfat gets over 12-15 percent it might be time to cut back a bit on the carbs - not a pure cutting cycle, just a slight backing off of the carbs to slolwy bring yourself back into the sub 15 percent range. But you are a long way from that state, so my advise would be to quit worrying about looking hot on the beach for a while - it's about delayed gratification. Suffer now for the extra rewards later.

Embed next time. Makes it easier to compare.

Do weighted resistance on crunches and your abs will get better.
