Should I Cut, Bulk, Or Neither?

[rivriv0]

I feel really insecure about the way I look. Right now, I honestly just want to see that defined six pack. And I'm not sure whether if I should continue cutting, or start bulking.

Gain muscle. Cutting won't help you at all at this point, you'll just look like a scarecrow.

Get on the Fierce 5 program. Eat enough protein rich foods so you are gaining about 1-2lbs a month - adjust what you eat over time but ignore any sudden weight changes because they will just be water weight shifts. Look for the long term trend.

Bro bulk right now and embrace the little bit of fat you’ll gain. You’ll get huge. I promise you when you cut down AFTER the bulk you will look AMAZING

How long do you think I should bulk?

[SuffolkPunch]

Gain about 20lbs at around 2lbs a month - so best part of a year...

First off, you have a good frame and should not be at all insecure about the way you look right now. You've got loads of potential. Define what your goals are both short & long-term (6-pack, size, etc...) and then develop a plan of attack to go the distance slowly... You've got plenty of time! Hope that helps...

Thanks again
