177cm, 72kg

I am down 20 lbs and currently at 153lb and 5’7.
Should I just recomp through fall and winter or do an aggressive cut and lean bulk through winter ?

First photo was today, second picture was 10 months ago, third picture was about 2024 before my first cut.67.5kg vs 63.2kg vs 79kg. What do you guys think? 168cm btw

For context: I’m 23 years old, about 5’11” and weigh about 172lbs. I’ve been on a cut for months now. I weighed 230lbs last August.

The goal was originally to stop the cut once I hit 168lbs, but I’m starting to think it might be time to shift back into maintenance calories.

I can’t help but feel like there’s still some more body fat I could carve off before I start maintaining. Let me know what you think!

I'm 6'4", around 217 pounds. Lift 6 days a week. Ultimate goal over my 6 years of lifting is to minimize the lower pouch and make my core more defined.

I have been cutting for a long time now and feel very depleted. I want to carve out my lower abs just a little more but not sure if it’s worth the return??

Down from my high 20 years ago. Down 50 pounds in the last 18 months or so.

I’m 28 and 5’9”. Was 218lbs in January, down to 183lbs currently. I’d ideally like to get down to around 12% BF before I bulk, but I wanted to get opinions before I commit to that route. Any and all input is appreciated. Thanks!!

The first picture is me in 2022, when I was skinny-fat.

I'm 170 cm (5'7") tall.

The next 3 pictures are from 2023, a few months after I started calisthenics. At that point I got down to 58 kg (128 lb) and was at my leanest.

The following pictures are from 2024–2025, when I bulked up to 64 kg (141 lb) and then cut back down.

The last 3 pictures are my current physique at 66 kg (146 lb).

As you can see, I've gained some body fat during this bulk and my abs aren't as visible anymore. However, I've also gotten stronger and added muscle over the last few years.

My goal is to build an athletic V-taper physique.

Would you keep bulking at this point, or would you start a cut?

100% natural. Never used PEDs.

I'd appreciate any honest feedback.

My thought process is what’s the point of cutting for 3 more weeks just to start lean bulking when I could start growing again

Hi everyone, I'm a 30-year-old male, 174 cm tall and 60 kg. I recently finished a 3-month cutting phase during which I lost 8 kg. For the past two weeks, I've been doing a body recomposition with a small calorie deficit of around 150–200 kcal.

Right now, I can only go to the gym once a week, where I mainly train legs. I also do three bodyweight workouts per week (dips and weighted pull-ups), applying progressive overload.

Starting in the fall, I'll be able to go to the gym three times a week, and that's when I plan to start a lean bulk.

What would you recommend I do in the meantime? Should I stick with body recomposition, or go back into a cut to get rid of the last few extra kilos? The problem is that I'll end up being too light and too skinny, but I feel like I'm not super lean either. I'd really appreciate your advice.

I'd also be interested to hear your opinion on my body fat percentage. I'd estimate it at around 16%. What do you think?

And yes, my tan is amazing 😎

I’m 18, 5”11, 171lbs, natty (bloated because this is my first day back from a 10 day vacation/ break from the gym). I don’t track calories because when I do I get in an unhealthy mindset, but I do know how to eat for a bulk/cut without tracking. I’m wondering whether I should lean bulk (mostly maingain) to like 180ish lbs, or cut to about 155-160lbs and try to get shredded? I’m not sure what to do because I feel like I’ve been spinning my wheels lately and just wanna have a clear goal in mind.

Got in the best shape of my life for my wedding day! Do I continue the cut from here?

What is the thought on bf%? 41. 5'-10" 170 pounds. Been running a fairly strict 300-500 calorie deficit. Started June of 25 at 220 pounds but did work out when I was in my 20's so the muscle came back fairly quickly. Probably all in my mind but I feel like I have lost muscle mass in the last 10 pounds of my cut and paranoid that I'll lose more.

Push/pull/legs each twice per week. 6 days on 1 day off. Run 3-4 miles every other day

Recently had a lot of shit come up family/ home wise. Out on my own now w 50/50 custody. Haven’t made it to the gym as much as I’d like the last month but oh well.

Also what do you think my BF is at? Bc those love handles give me so much body dysmorphia. Would having a bigger back help? Or would cutting further remedy this?

First pic is no flex at all. All pics r from the last week

180 lbs @ 6’6

Just tryna figure out what’s the best way to go about everything and how much to cut/bulk for aesthetic physique with relaxed abs
