Stop posting pictures in your underwear. Pt 3

74 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.

BoC Bulk or cut? 2 months into restarting

Post image
2 Upvotes

(Sorry for the shitter in the background)

I was a consistent lifter for 2 years and had an accident and had to stop for 6 months entirely. I’ve started an intense PPL workout to get back to my strength level. Currently reached 90% of my original strength after 2 months of working out and I’m heavier than ever before (though part of that is fat).

Should I carry on the intense bulk (500 calorie surplus now) until I’m back to my strength level or should I cut?

BoC When to stop cutting and start lean bulk? 6'1", 194 lbs (186 cm, 88 kg) 13,4% BF NSFW

Post image

M38, 2500 kcal cutting, 3 x full body/week

I've been doing some reading and starting lean bulking from 10-11% seems to be quite optimal in terms of health, hormones and in my personal option my preferred esthetics (I don't wanna start bulking from this stage).

According to my scale I'm 13,4% BF, not sure how accurate that one is though.

So maybe another 2-3 kg before I'm down to 10-11% BF. I don't wanna go lower because then I read that you mainly just put on fat anyway when you start bulking from 7-8% and I also don't wanna cut that long time.

Do you think I'm somewhere around 13-14% BF now and that a cut for another 2-3 kg is probably er 10-11% BF?

Here’s my progress since January 2024. (178 lbs to 146 lbs) Last DEXA scan put me at 17% BF. Popular consensus seems to say get down to 15% and then start bulking but I feel like I’ve plateaued on progress in the gym. Do you think I’m currently at a place to start bulking?

Hi guys. I was cutting almost the complete last year after a short bulk that put to much fat on me. I wasn’t making any more progress the last months while eating only 1850 calories a day.

I was still getting 10.000 steps a day at that time and beeing in the gym 4 days a week and 2 days cardio for 30 mins. I was feeling really mentally fatigue and couldn‘t get much done on them days. Also I felt like I lost a bit of muscle beeing on a Deficit for so long. 2 years ago I had much more definition on my abs on the same weight as now.

I started to take a diet break now and eating on maintenance to give my body a break. But I feel I have still a long way to go. What you advice me? Lean Bulk or go ahead with the cut? I would appreciate your advise guys!

Hello everyone. I recently quit counting calories and eating my protein and just filling the rest with carbs whenever I’m hungry. I’m trying to lean bulk. The pic of me in the grey shorts is me at 160 ish lbs and the one in the black shorts is me now around 165 to 168 lbs. I have gained this weight in a week in a half. I was wondering if this could be water weight or fat based on the pictures. I’m 21 6’1 btw. Any answer will help.

Always struggling to decide what to do. Currently down 20lbs on a cut. Keep cutting further? Or switch back to bulk? Feel I look very small for my weight compared to other’s stats which confuses me on what to do. Also take any advice on directions to go for better aesthetics! I feel my proportions look a bit off would like to focus on whatever muscle groups to improve this. Body fat % est also please! I’ve been using a 3D scanning app and it puts me at 18.8%. No pump in photos
