Estimate BF, and cut or bulk Advice

[guymartin]

Hello all,

I'm a complete newbie to going to the gym, just keep fit by running and mountain biking, decided it is time to get the body I have always wanted but never committed to achieving.

So i would like a rough BF% estimate and also whether you think i should cut or bulk first?

I dont wanna get massive just want to be toned and put some muscle on, (male model was the body type i think i selected for my goal,

Any hint and tips would be great, this website seems to be a great resource.

Also what type of body type do you think i am?

Height 180cm
Weight 188lbs


Cheers!

You should bulk. A male model body still requires intense strength training and you need a lot more muscle mass to achieve that body.

bodyfat I would say around 14-16%

put on lean mass with a clean diet, that way there will be more muscle prominence and your midsection will still look nice.

Cheers for the advice guys, i was thinkin of a clean bulk, currently eating about 2300 cal per day with 200g of protein, then a 2day split twice a week,

Ill keep pictures coming during my transformation.

Hoping to drop bf to around 8-10% whilst clean bulking, i dont particuarly want to gain anymore fat,

If your gonna bulk you need to eat more and lift more at least 4 days a week.

This^^^^ eat a lot, just be careful with what you take in. You should be around 3000 calories, that should be 300-400 over maintenance. If you can... try to go 3 days on, 1 day off. Not everyone can do 6 days a week though.

Cheers cor the advice ill up my intake.

Just to clear up i do a 2day split, twice a week, so that is 4 days a week,

I'll have to start eating more!

At the least. Im a big fan of 3 days on 1 day off and back at it. It's hard for some to get to the gym 6 days a week though.
