For context 24 170lbs
Dropped from 270 to 170 over the last 18 months. Feel like everything has stalled over the last few months. Lifts aren’t going up. Weight isn’t really dropping and not noticing much recomp. I workout 5x a week and walk about 8-10k steps a day. Eating about 2000-2200 calories a day. Change anything or keep pushing?

I’m 18, 6 foot 1, and weigh about 70kg. These photos are 1 year apart but why is there barely any difference? What can I do to put on more size and what muscles should I prioritise for aesthetics?

Lean bulk or maintain??

Post image

Currently sitting at 5’8 149lbs and I’m unsure whether to maintain my weight or lean bulk for size or more strength? I’ve been under 150lbs for over 2 years now and I’m kinda sick of being less filled out in clothes, but also hate the excess fat especially in the face when I put on some weight

Continue cutting or lean bulk

I am 6ft and currently at 173 lbs (78.6 Kg). The last two photos is my physique from about a month and a half ago in which I was at 186 lbs (84.5 Kg). Should I continue cutting or lean bulk from now on.

Been pretty skinny and low muscle most of my life. Started eating a lot more the past 2 years and started going to the gym regularly the last 6 months. Third picture is from about 3 years ago.

I don't count calories right now but always make sure to hit my protein goal. I'm 193cm and about 92kg.

Edit: 181cm tall

Used to be so regimented, but for the last 1.5 years I’ve struggled with training, sleep and more importantly diet.

I think I’ve slowed my metabolism, so currrntly eating at maintenance to bring recovery and energy up.

Should I bulk or cut through Xmas?

Hey guys, I posted a few months back asking about whether to bulk or cut and decided to cut for awhile to see if I can get to 12% BF.

This is me now. Realistically, how far away would you say am I?

Currently 180lbs, 5ft 11.

Started training in Feb for first time but decided to cut since I could not see my abs, but was not smart decision as there was no muscle, so since July (+9kg since) I’ve been bulking and training consistently. I’m thinking of bulking till Jan-Feb and the cutting and repeat after summer, is this the right way to proceed? I know my muscle development is weak but I’ve never seen my abs hence curiosity to cut. Ps any specific muscle to train more looking at pics? Thanks!

Bulking and Bloating

Not really sure if i can post this but ive been bulking reasonably hard, 500-600 calorie surplus this first week, probably gonna drop it down to 200-300 i’ve just been extra hungry. but anyways ive been pushing the carbs pretty hard and been bloating up quite a bit. any tips on reducing the bloating? i already do 20-45 min incline treadmill daily, eat mostly whole food (except for some cereal) and im on my feet moving around most of the day due to my job. or is this just something im gonna have to accept? first picture is in the morning (fasted) and the second is late evening with a decent amount of food in me and bloated up pretty bad. 2nd was taken right after my workout and cardio.

BoC 34 Years old, 75kg, 6ft, keep trimming down or put some back on?

Bit of background, I’ve lost over 40kg in the past few years while managing to keep the same strength. I can only workout at home with limited equipment due to shift work and childcare so workouts aren’t as intense as they should be but I try to manage 3 workouts a week (Upper/Lower/Full body) and 2 days of light cardio (30 min incline walk @ 3mph)

I think my lower abdomen may have some loose skin due to the weight loss so not sure how much flatter I can get it and I also have a small hernia above belly button so that doesn’t help with the ab/core situation but top 2 abs are almost visible when tensing.
I’ve been eating around 2300 calories with some cheating on weekends but I’m thinking of dropping it to 1900-2000 calories and see how low I can get my body fat and try and get more definition, or should I try and put a bit of size on first so there is more to define?

Any more info you need let me know
