Very vague question...but right now i weigh about 175 pounds, and im only 5'5, and 18 years old. When i tested my BF percentage i was a 19.6%. Im dieting all summer, doing general fitness in the gym to lose weight. I lose an average of 2-4 pounds a week...so im trying to get rid of fat before i start bulking again. I want to start fresh, i want to start thin. I learned a whole lot from all of u, including people in the gym i talk to, so last year i never really did a whole lot right, thats why i gained back lots of fat. But now i know much more, so i want to start thin with not a lot of fat, so that i know im gaining back lean muscle, not fat....so my question is, what do YOU think i should weigh to start bulking? What should my goal be? I am at 175 now, my goal is to get down to 155....but some people tell me 140 to start bulking, some say 155 is fine, some say 145...hell, one person said 135. Im dieting until September 4th, which is when i leave for college...But if i lose enough wait to get down to a "starting bulking" weight....ill start bulking even in August, if i lose enough...so, what do u all think is a good STARTING weight for me???

Everyone oust Bush! Vote John Kerry! If ur sick of war and mistakes to send troops...vote Kerry. Read up on Kerry on www.johnkerry.com. And watch Fahrenheit 911! Its the truth! I was a total conservative before i watched it.

Just lean down until you're happy to bulk, I'd suggest bulking from about 10% bf or something, because by the end of it you could get up a bit depending on how 'clean' you bulk. Don't use weight as much use the mirror, it gives much better advice.

a little late... for me. Yea i vote to ban him and then hang his name on the main page as a reminder for people not to post this crap. Oh and as for when to bulk... bulk when you think you are lean enough to. I just look in the mirror and say... ok time to bulk i looke like a skinny freak."There are no OFF days, just days you don't go to the gym."
Carb-Up does NOT mean Binge and Cheat!

A bodybuilding.com shaker bottle $1.95.
10 pounds of 100% whey protein by Optimum Nutrition, $55.59.
The look of disbelief as a mother standing beside her son sees him open a picture of 2 men pissing onto another,
PRICELESS!
Ahh yes the joys of bodybuilding.
This is siggable for the low price of only $19.95 per week of use. For more information private message me. It is however free to anyone willing to send me porn.(Not of the homosexual variety either.)The only dumb question is the question not asked.

Re: How much should I weigh to start bulking??
I agree with Trappy that you should go until you feel comfortable with yourself. This isn't a one time thing where you cut and you're done with it. Neither is bulking. Most guys go through these phases dozens of times to get where they're at. So I would suggest cutting down to whatever weight you feel happy with, do a clean bulk so you don't put alot of that fat back on and then you can cut again later on to get rid of the remaining bf. Most guys will agree that it's not good to cut or bulk for more than a few months at a time.Originally posted by italian44
