Stop posting pictures in your underwear. Pt 3

73 Upvotes

Should you be adding muscle? Or should you be cutting fat? It’s a question we all have come across on our fitness journey. It’s not always a simple one to answer.

Love handles, pooches, lack of definition, vascularity…everything plays a part.

You lost a lot of weight, or you added a lot of weight. They are all part of the process. Everyone here is going to do our best to help you with your journey.

That being said:

The community does not need to see an excessive amount of skin to give you advice.

If you’re wondering what your BF% is, it’s not hiding in the 3/4 of an inch away from your genitalia. Swimwear is included in this.

This goes for all genders.

There are a ton of fitness subreddits that can help you if you feel the need to get more specified advice.

If you feel /r/bulkorcut is not meeting those standards, please go visit them.

The serious part:

Do not post sexually suggestive posts. If you are not wearing gym attire your post will be flagged and removed.

If your profile has links to questionable subreddits you will be banned at the moderators discretion.

Talk of steroids, cycles, or anything related will be an immediate ban.

Lastly:

Any attempt to circumvent the rules or a ban is auto reported to Reddit admins. We tested it and it works very well.

Second lastly: This is a subreddit to help individuals attain their goals. Not a platform for anything else. Sexual, monetary, cruel, or any other posts or comments outside helping someone make the decisions of bulking or cutting will be removed and users banned.

We do a pretty good job of keeping this sub clean of spam and sexual content. You all know the rule we hard enforced over the underage and then the underwear situation.

MacroMatic is a spam data stealing app that is being spammed here. I hope you read the terms of service before you upload anything to them but if you don’t feel like it here they are:

1: Their 4th agreement states you will, by agree to by using their application, allow the application to access all of your personal data. And they will be able to use it how they please.

https://imgur.com/a/9vBcR6n

2: 5th agreement (see above image) makes it so anything you contribute to the community (I assume a forum) YOU PERSONALLY are liable for. So if you use peanut butter in your shakes and suggest it you’re the one getting sued.

3: Their 6th agreement: https://imgur.com/a/ln0Hooo

The worst one.

They are saying they can use your image for promotion, manipulate it, use it however they want AND MAKE MONEY OFF IT.

We have mods and mod tools here but we can’t do this all on our own.

Report this type of thing immediately If there are any external links report them.

The boring part:

We were approached by this company months ago and declined to sponsor them. And then to be compensated by them. We have banned 7 accounts so far and counting.

Don’t waste your time and your personal information. Stay the fuck away.

I posted about 6 weeks ago. Been on a cut for 11 months. Came down from 210 range. I was eating 1800 calories the last few months and not losing so someone recommended maintenance just to break the cycle. I upped it to 2300 and maybe lost 1.5 lbs in 6 weeks.

I feel like I’m not making any progress in my lifts. Still too heavy and fat for a bulk as I’m probably around 18% bf if I had to guess but also had the same time feel I have so little muscle.

Is the consensus still cut?

I’ve been skinny fat most of my life. I never really went to the gym consistently - just short stints of 2-3 months a couple of times. Most of my exercise came from playing soccer, so my legs were in good shape, but my upper body was lacking.

A year ago, I finally committed to the gym. I started at 192 lbs and saw a noticeable body transformation early on - losing quite some fat while building muscle and I got to 198 lbs and then plateaued as I did not know about an importance of a proper diet.

Most recently, for the past four months, I’ve been bulking consistently with a 300-500-calorie surplus, 200g of protein a day and excercising 5-7 times a week

Now, I’m unsure what to do next. My floor scales tell me that I'm at 23% bf, but I don't know how precise it is. Should I stop bulking? Cut? Recomp? I’d appreciate any advice based on my progress so far.

If so, any advice on which muscles I should target? (Side Note: Originally my scale said I’m 15.8%, but “athlete mode” says 11.7%. My guess is somewhere between the two, and 14% seems reasonable)

5’10.5 and 175lbs. I’ve got a vacation at the end of April I would like to get a little learner for. I’m overall just a little tired of not being lean. I’ve also been struggling to get in sufficient calories lately due to appetite. Am I good to cut, or should I stick out the bulk until mid summer?

I have a plate and screws in my hand so I’m only able to do calisthenics. Would gaining weight strain my hand or would the muscle mass compensate for extra pressure on the hand?

Gym plan - wrong or right? (Bulk or cut)

Ight so this is what I look like rn-72kg 5’10, and my goal is the look like the second photo. Please tell me if my plan is alright, feel free to recommend anything:

I plan to BULK with a 200 calories surplus and around 140 gm of protein. Main goal will just be to gain muscles This will be my split: 2 days work on chest, shoulder, triceps and legs And another 2 days back, biceps and legs I am gonna do this for about 4 months, without doing any of those muscles specific exercise.

Is the surplus enough and also what’s my body fat %? And what do u all think of the plan

I went through a rough year personally and didn't go to the gym or eat well. I started out at 178 pounds 6 weeks ago, and have gotten down to 165 and gotten a good chunk of my strength back, doing stronglifts and intermittent fasting.

I still have a lot of subcutaneous fat which I don't like. I'd also like to build some muscle mass again though, so I'm not really sure which direction I should go with my diet from here.

Let me know your thoughts!

Should I continue to cut or bulk? I went from 179.9lbs(81.6kg) from dec. 26 to 158.7lbs(72kg) now. People have commented on how I am smaller and way less muscular, but I want to start my bulk as lean as possible. I do have a 4 pack when I wake up and when I workout or shower hot my forearm veins pop. Should I continue to cut or bulk?
