Continue cutting?

[Fitsy]

Hi guys,

Should I continue cutting, do a recomp at maintenance calories or start bulking? I'm 42 male, 89kg, 180cm.

Also what is your estimate of my bf%?

Thanks 😊

I definitely wouldn't bulk, but do what you corresponds with your personal preferences.

For this type of post & the bf question it's more helpful not to use such favorable lighting for the pic.

In my honest opinion, I think you should start lean bulking for 6 months. Train as hard as you can and keep it clean dieting for better overall health and benefits. Your lifts will improve and so will your body. You look great bro! I think you are about 14-17% BF

Hard to tell with the exceptionally good lighting, but I'd guess 18-20%.

Thanks so much! Would this pic be any better? Taken after a session so I might look a bit swollen lol

You look better in the pic, but again, this isn't a Tinder profile so you don't need to keep sending pics with flattering lighting or post-workout flex/pump until you get the lowest bf% answer possible.

Since you've been cutting, it's up to you if you're at a point where you want to stop. My answer is above.

I agree with ~18%
Personally, I'd keep cutting until I saw good, visible abs and delt/tri/bi separation...which will come at around 11%
The slow bulk at about 1/2 lb per week
