If You Are A Skinnyfat NonLifter Do You Cut Or Bulk?

[Ahhdonbilivit]

If you are 15% of non lifting muscle

Do you cut first? Or go straight into a bulk?

[Poodleman]

Start bulking, it dont make sense to cut when you got no muscle to show

[CopeFear]

Try something that rhymes with men

Start lifting heavy and doing cardio 2 times per week.

Thats legit my plan. I'm gonna throw sprints in and do a 5k once a week. Alternate outside and treadmill

Don't do the 5k if you want to build muscle, also don't take advice from no-avis

Just do what you think is optimal. You can literally build muscle and burn fat at the same time because of the way cell signaling works. Cliffs are that AMPK, the sensor that signals when a cell has run out of ATP (its all ADP) does not inhibit protein synthesis (does not diengage mTOR) when the alpha-2 isoform is activated, which is the exercise variant. The starvation variant, AMPK alpha-1, does interrupt anabolic signaling (mTOR). Which is relevant for intermittent fasting and cancer reduction/prevention. https://suppversity.blogspot.com/201...ittent_30.html

5k isn't detrimental to gains. It's not long enough. I will still lift like 5 days a week but I value my endurance and cardio now. I also want to work on my mobility

Cheers brah! I'm gonna bulk

[backinthegymbro]

I did a cut immediately. Noob gains + getting chiseled made people ask if i used juice.
Transformed my body in 6 months to ripped with six pack and good hard muscle.

But the misc is a fan of bulking even though unless you're on juice, all it mostly does is make you fat.
And then it takes forever to get rid of all that excess fat whilst losing the little extra muscle mass you gained over if you'd start off with a cut. So the end result is probably the same once your cut is finished, except it takes a lot longer.

[atgbrahsrs]

eat enough to recover and make progress on the bar but dont bulk

fine tune this (lower carb or lower fat might make you feel better depends on individual factors) and you should see a lot of gains anyways because of your untrained body

if possible even eat at a slight deficit to cut even - if you do that make sure you have good recovery from a good sleep schedule

Well, you gotta bulk to make gains brah. I'm not gonna let myself go and get fat but I definitely do want to put on some decent size and be able to fill out clothes again nicely. I'm 5'11 and when I was 200lbs I looked really juicy in clothing. But if I was as chiselled as you were I wouldn't be able to have looked as good in clothing

I'll be comfortable with a nice 14%-15% bodyfat at 200lbs again

[wave_length]

Thats like 14-15%

I'd say a bit lower than that but OK.
But that's not the definition of skinnyfat.

Whatever you say, you'll probably make no gains either way and be back making this same thread in a few months

[AlexSays]

Yes around that. But being 14-15% is not the same thing as being skinny fat...? Skinny fat is a specific thing, not just "not being 10% shredded"



That is an example of skinny fat.

[Ahhdonbilivit]

Anything above 13% is getting towards "fat" in my opinion, and that's not a shot because I'm aiming for 200lbs again at around 14-15%

[Ahhdonbilivit]

Fukin gross. I've never looked like this in my life.

I get your point though

Then what do you look like?

[Ahhdonbilivit]

Then what do you look like?

I look like you (srs).

I think the example you posted is extreme skinnyfat.

I feel skinny and fat compared to what I was before. Its all relative I guess

[John$Galt]

You lift heavy and eat a lot, but clean. Low or zero carbs, high fat, medium protein. You can lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, especially as a newb.

You really don't. Especially not if you're beginning. My muscles increased in size, my strength went up, while i got chiseled.
But suit yourself.
