Bulk, Cut or Maintain

[dylanthom66]

Hi, so over the course of working out since July or almost 6 months, my strength has went up pretty well. My lifts right now are, 295 bench, 425 dl, and a 405 squat. When I started in July I was weighing in at 173lbs now I’m 191lbs. Recently I’ve gotten some stretch marks on my biceps, triceps and shoulders and also my inner thighs. Recently people have been telling me to slow it down and some people saying I’m doing good. Right now I’m in a debate of keep doing what I’m doing or to do a cut. I can’t post images due to the 50 limit, but I posted them on my profile. Any advice would be helpful Also the post with me in the bathroom heside the garbage can was about a year and a half ago, just wanted to put it there too show kind of where I started

Really depends on your goals man. Are you happy with your muscle definition right now? Those are some pretty good lifts, cutting to about 10-12% will have you looking incredible.

Bigger isn’t always better, lean an ripped is my goal, it depends on what you prefer...

So if I decided to cut, do you know roughly a good weight to go down to. I’ve never done a cut before and I never wanted to do one honestly because I was scared I was going to be small. Also if I were to cut would I lose any strength because I love the strength and prs
