This is getting out of hand. Half the posts here are people who have been training for years, active bodybuilders, or people blasting gear and have an amazing physique. We know what you are doing. You’re posting for validation or engagement to your page and what you’re not doing is looking for any real advice.

We will be removing all of these posts with even if they do not technically break rules.

This will be done completely by mods discretion. Don’t bother complaining, nothing will change.

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.

Hi,

went from 82kg to 66kg.

Would you keep cutting to reduce another 2% of body fat or would you maintain/gain now since I've been dieting since 7 months?

pic taken first thing in the morning .
For the past five months I’ve lost 12lbs while still progressively overloading (yay!). I want to prioritise having a lean face because extra weight on my face looks terrible.

I’m grateful for my progress so far but. still have the love handles!! I can squeeze about 2 cubic inches of fat on both sides, and of course love handle area is the last part to go

But just you wait, when I lose that next £10, I will be shredded like a lightweight boxer!!!

First picture is before my cut. Been cutting for ~10 weeks now. Wondering if I should start a very lean slow bulk now or keep going for a few more weeks until bottom abs appear. Thanks.

Do you think I'll experience any loose skin if I drop my body fat to 15% or 10%? Based on that, what would you recommend. Should I continue my cut or stay at my maintenance calories?

BoC Bulk or cut?

Starting point (in the last pic) was 86kg+ and I'm currently 71kg. I'm kind of lean I think but I have some softness in my lower abdomen. I have basically been doing very basic training like situps, pullups, pushups and curls first 2 years. But since beginning august I bought a full workout machine where I'm doing a full body workout now instead of basic exercises. So roughly 3 months progressive overload on way more muscle groups. What's the best course to take, cut? Or body recomp with a small deficit?

Been training for 2 years now. cutting for nearly 3 months now down from 170- 155.2 weigh in (this morning)
What’s my current bf % estimate? If I wanted to cut down to 12% range, how long would that take from here? Or Should I start a reverse diet plan and do a very slow lean bulk from here?

Hello, everyone! 💪 I've been doing home workouts for 2 weeks now after taking a break. My last consistent gym journey lasted 4 months and ended in January. Now, I'm starting again!

Can you rate my physique and give me some advice on how to improve it? Your honest feedback is appreciated! 🔥🏋️

I uploaded these pictures to Claude and it estimated me at 14 to 16%. My last DEXA scan one month ago had me at 17%

Good to bulk (please say yes) or do I need to lose another 3%?

Been bulking/maintenance for 6monthsish. Currently 76kg from 68 at the start of the year. My goal was to consistently bench 80kg then cut though atm I am only at 70kg x 8 reps and 75 x 5 reps. Should I bite the bullet and just start cutting now? It might be a good time to start since I started Muay Thai for cardio. I'd like some more volume in my chest as well so if I were to continue bulking that would be my goal.
