[SuperStorm96]

Been working out for a couple of months now and wanted to know if I should bulk or cut?

My stats:
Height 5'.7"
Weight 160 lbs

Kinda confused on what to do cause coworkers/friends tell me I look skinny, but I see a lot of fat on me.

Good article ^

My recommendation is eating slightly above maintenance and lifting intensely.

How intense your training/routine is will minimum accruing fatS!!!!!!!

BTW -> screw your co-worker/friends opinion, do what you want!

Cut then clean bulk.

[LevroneFan2002]

Definitely cut, bulking off of that base will result in you ending up quite fat. As your a newbie, you'll probably need time to get used to solid weight training, diet and cardio. Better off doing that whilst cutting, rather than bulking, making a mess and getting fatter.

cut down by eating a deficit of around 300-500 calories untill your happy with your weight then slowly bump your calorie intake up till your 300-400 above.


nothings going to change overnight.

eat right.sleep right. and lift heavy. and youll love the results

[Roidsmakeyoubig]

definitely start by cutting. my advice try cycles of a month for cutting than a month for clean bulking.

So cutting only involves eating less?

Being in deficit is cutting, cardio & eating less will help.

Do you even know your maintenance to maintain current weight with calories?

Actually no, I just have been eating healthy for the past year, about 6 times a day, not counting calories. A year from today I use to be skinny 145 pounds at 5'7"

[SuperStorm96]

cut for sure

Do you still eat healthy fat, such as peanut butter and flax seeds when cutting?

[WANTitBAD]

i say cut till the hips are gone

[Eloquent]

Lift 4 days/week
Don't do cardio.
Focus on lifting performance, that will give you the body.
Eat 2200 calories, high protein and you will look better in little time.

So 2200, lift hard, good food selections.

I know this because 3 months ago I weighed 160 at 5'7 just like you, right now I weigh about 164, but look a loooooooot better.
I ate 2700 and lifted hard, if you eat 2200 you will shed fat with noobie muscle gains.
But know that you will end up plateauing on your lifts which is fine since your goal is muscle with definition not lifting gym gains.

hes like 20-22%

ok, thanks a lot for the info, generally how does one measure body fat % ... is it more of a guess work by looking at the physique ? or is there a formula / method to do so ?

So what is the ideal body fat %?
what I mean is what is healthy body fat % for the average non pro home body builder
