To be honest with you I can't notice any progress at all, I don't understand why you are cutting you don't have muscle on your frame yet. Listen bro Im going to tell you the best thing to do:
1)Do SS for 8-12weeks until you plateau
2)Eat 200-300cals over your maintenance
3)Cut for 2-3 months
*REPEAT
^^^^ I wish someone told me this when I first started, I had to learn this the hard way.

thanks for the honesty man. a question...
how much bf% am i gonna gain if i eat 200-300 calories over maintenance
i was fat before, so i don't wanna go back to being fat again. i am looking for aesthetics to be honest, and i don't know if i could stand being fat again.A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

youll look leaner if you eat 250-300 cals over maintenance a day. You might gain a little fat, probably wont be noticeable. Just do it. Youre going to cut to ribs, and realize you shouldve clean bulked.Originally Posted by childishbambino

i agree with everyone else, you should bulk. trust me, it's worth it. bulk until you start to get a little too fat and then cut. and btw, i noticed a difference, you're starting to get a deeper v-shape in your midsection imo.but it doesnt matter, bulk until you hit like 20+ body fat

sorry bros for bumping this thread, but i have one more question:
is a 1-lb gain per week good? will this gain too much fat?A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

1lb a week seems ok to me.
You need to seriously bulk up though. You've got the good frame to start, but make it clean otherwise you'll end up with more fat than muscle.I have a good joke about water retention. But I'm going to hold onto it for now.

Eh in my opinion I'd cut first I've done both (I was also an ex fatty) and I preferred being real lean before I bulk. Makes you feel good being cut and starting to look bigger.

dont discourage him.
you do lack muscle mass bro. i started working out a year ago when i was really fat, i lost 40lbs or so and looked decent but doyouevenlift.jpg look.
so i started bulking, dirty tho and gained about 20 lbs back but did get muscle and bigger lifts. im looking fat again, not as before but ppl noticed.

thanks for the comments man...that's what I'm afraid of; people noticing my fat gains. do you think a bulk from 145 to 155 would result in noticeable fat gain?Originally Posted by jeulz

if this is your first time getting into gym, weight loss and such, i strongly suggest you keep cutting, youll look, normal...Originally Posted by childishbambino
ppl will notice you have lost weight, you'll get more confident and such. then decide what do you want, which will probably be a bulk.
