I only have abs when I push my skin down. My end goal is 170lb at 13%bf. I’ve been lifting for 2 years.

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

I went from 160 to 185 pounds and have started to cut a bit cos my body fat got too high. Am I doing the right thing what should I do. Seen things and maybe I should do a body recomp

I am near the end of my cut and was wondering around what body fat percentage this is. Planning on maintaining for a while

I probably shouldnt loss any weight anymore and definitely need to gain muscles, right ?

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 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.

I feel fat, I also feel like I am weak and have no muscle. What are you doing in my shoes?

Just getting back to the gym now after a wrist injury and not sure what to do. I’ve never reached my gym goals, always end up stopping after 3-6pm the ish cuz I get injured or sick and then get lazy. I want this to be the run where I genuinely get in shape aesthetically and functionally. Any tips and advice welcome.

I'm 6'5" and was skinny fat. DEXA scan said I was at 195lb, 26% body fat.

Since then I've been very consistently working out and cutting. I'm now at 180lb and I estimate 20% bf.

I'm debating if I should cut a few pounds more to get closer to 17% and see a bit more of my abs before I start a slow bulk?

My goal eventually is to get close to 190lb at 15% bf

So about 3 years I lost a lot of weight and have been working out on and off since then and now for about 18 months pretty consistently. I’ve tried cutting down to be lean before but ended up in the same situation I’m in now, underweight and without abs.
I just really want to see my abs then start lean bulking for as long as I can but I’m very light and I don’t know if cutting more will actually make that happen

I train weighted ab crunches 3-4 times a week and I’ve always trained to or close to failure eating 130+ grams of protein so I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong ):

I’m 165 lbs right now and I started at 135 8 months ago and it’s been very hard to hit my macros (~4k cal) for a while now so I’m wondering if I should rip the bandaid off a month early and start cutting now (17 male)

No pump at all in first or second picture, horrific lighting.

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?

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!
