You look really good, better arms and delts than most guys, try intermittent fasting to lose that belly fat. It's not as hard as it sounds and you'll hang onto your muscle better than a fad diet.

[rootcon]

That's more fat to lose. But you look decent (no homo) right now other than the belly and a little gyno. Drop that bodyfat some more and you'll look killer srs

Are u natty ? Looking like a classic competitor

[AlphaMentality4]

Looking good mate keep up the hard work.
Your shoulders and triceps have some good definition and size.

[ayyy]

every time i see someone mention their delts in posts like these i come in ready to be disappointed, but you look solid brah

and nah not loose skin just got some fluff still hanging on, but wouldn't stress it you're making it

Good job losing weight brah. Shoulder and arms looking alright!

It’s not loose skin, you’re just still high bodyfat %. Keep dieting and you’ll look in June, just in time for the summer

im not even in the middle of my bulking phase. I wanna keep bulking throughout summer!

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

You have a good base, but at this point I would say your body fat is too high to be bulking. It will just end up being more fat to lose later on. Ideally you should aim to get as lean as possible before bulking. It's a lot easier to keep your bodyfat in check that way.

I don't think you have a lose skin issue either, just BF%

[Polaris]

You aren't ripped, but that's FAR from "terrible".

i wanna get way stronger. i bench like 175 for 5x5 (3min rest in between)
i just started deadlifting and squatting again due to some issues that i had.
one MAJOR reason that i wanna keep bulking is that i wanna bring up my abs which is my weakest point

If strength is your goal that's fine...... nothing wrong with training for size/strength. But if aesthetics and abs are your goal it all comes down to body fat. You seem new enough to be able to get newbie gains still, but naturally you don't be gaining size/strength and dropping body fat for long.

Also bulking is not going to help your abs.

Basically this.
You’re wayyy to high bodyfat % to be bulking.
Bulking throughout the summer you’ll be fat as fuk, srs.

Bulking
Abs

Pick one, cause you cant do both of them as a natty

Just be aware that to get really defined abs you almost have to hot Auschwitz level of bodyfat/weight as a natty.

my bad, what i meant is that i wanna add some size to my abs so they could look crispy when i cut down. i do only weighted exercises

[omoruwii]

better start cutting until I get as lean as possible then get into a slow clean bulk?

[omoruwii]

bumpp i need your opinion on this one. in my. opinion i'll look way to skinny if i cut down now

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

Yes. You don't need to get competition shredded, but you should get to the point that your abs are visible.

You might - but bulking while already at a higher bodyfat never goes well for a natural lifter. Believe me, I have been there. Get yourself in good conditioning, and then focus on adding clean size.

i wil just end up being fat? I might need to drop like 30 pounds

[Coal Man]

Strong body dysmorphia. Dude chill out stop freaking out.

You look fine. Continue to cut, I'd say lose another 10 lbs and you're in great shape.

[omoruwii]

thats me at 155 WITHOUT lifting. the pics were taken the gyms opened back up. i
just cardio and being in a deficit. i only did abs

[Dennis71]

Looking good.


Since you keep bumping I assume you want some actual criticism though:

You're rear delts look to be lagging and you'll never have the full capped look without developing them.

Medial and long head of triceps needs work too.


Keep at it.

[arn710]

You can do ab work until you puke. Its never going to make that belly fat go away if you're "bulking"

Be patient. Pick a goal and stick with it. Yo-yo training is a waste of time
