I question your decision to cut at 146 pounds, I would bulk for a very long period now.

[QUOTE=Partyrocking;1533825561]About 11% IMO[/QUOTE]
really? is it that low? I still feel like I have to burn some more fat in order to make my abs more visible, if the lightning is not quite right, you can barely see my abs
-
[QUOTE=Partyrocking;1533761231]15-16% You can afford to keep bulking for a few more months.
Definitely look leaner in your new pics. Around 11% Definitely lean bulk.[/QUOTE]
Gotcha man, thanks. What's the difference between Lean bulk and recomp btw?
Also, I play soccer competitively; any recommendations taking that into account?

Should I have lean bulked at 146lbs? Also, why was cutting bad/questionable? Hopefully this is just a minor setback.
Many thanks man

Lighting is always a big factor. When you see those bf% charts and the guy has great abs at 10%, that's in part due to the lighting. I didn't see a lot of fat on your abs. My guess is they're just a bit flat from the lack of carbs.

With a lean bulk, your goal is to put on weight and minimize fat gain. E.g. aiming to gain 2lbs/month. A recomp means that you're either trying to stay the same weight and simultaneously build muscle and lose fat or you're trying to build muscle in a deficit.
You don't appear to have any fat to lose atm, so it would be a better idea to start gaining weight. You can't really recomp if you don't have fat to lose.
Since you play soccer, I would suggest a training program with an athletic focus, e.g. WS4SB or Candito Linear Program. I would also make sure to keep up with your conditioning.

I would have, because in my opinion you look too thin now but you might like that look I don't know. And simply due to the lack of lean bodymass you had before I wouldn't recommend that much of a cut to people (especially at your age). You have so much more room to manouver now you are leaner, so definitely just take the positives from it!

Hi guys,
New to this forum.
Have been working out for 6 months, mostly full body workouts 3 times a week.
Prior to that I had ran a couple of half marathons.
5'9"
168lbs
Waist: 31"
Age:39
Keen to know my body fat %.
How much should I cut before lean bulk (or whatever)?
Much appreciated.

Can I get some help. Been trying to lose weight all summer, was about 245 in May, now I’m about 198. Never had much muscle mass. Always been a high fat percentage. Played football my whole life and always was not as strong as people half my size. I can still lift everything I could back in May so I feel I didn’t lose much if any. Need advice on if i should try to bulk or continue cutting.

About 16% I'd maintain your weight for 2-4 week sand then start a lean bulk.
