5'5 Starting weight was 176 down to 156 natural started .5mg reta on 7/8 for 2 weeks took my second dose 7/15 but wasnt please with results everything felt flatter but my stomach decided not to run it this week but confused on what to do next with my height i dont want to get down under 145 from my progress photos i feel that i looked best at 162 definition wise but i still felt fat and wanted to lose my stomach i will drop 3 pictures for reference should i continue to attempt to cut before putting on weight or can i start bulking back up now no thinking about being 165 lean at the max

Here’s where I started at 140 to where I peaked at 215 after 17 years and cut down to 195 over 8 weeks. This is why I generally preach to add lean mass over time. You’ll be happier when you cut down the road for whatever reason you choose.

I could have made much more progress over the years if I didn’t have the typical excuses that everyone has (life, kids, work etc.). So keep going you can go farther than you think. There’s a lot of free resources out there, but it’s up to you to do the work. The path isn’t linear.

67-57KG 173cm / 5"8. Plan is to bulk to 72-74kg by Mar 1st 2028, then cut for June 2028.

The first 3 photos are me and the last 1 is what I want to roughly achieve

First photo is me relaxed and second photo is me tensing like fck and the third one is me tensing my back. I play football 4x a week and just started (2 weeks ago) a decent gym. Beforehand I was chucking weights about at school. I wanna get to the physique in the last photo but don’t know how. The decent gym I started going to I weight train 4x a week and do cardio once. (I don’t train legs as my coach said I need to stick to our program at the club for legs as im division 1) can anyone give solid advice on what to do, thanks

What's bf estimate ? Pic is flexed

Dexa scan said I’m 20% bf. I’m already very lean. Any help on what to do would be great. I’ve been cutting but stuck at my weight the past few weeks. Work out 3x a week and try to go to failure

Had a bit of a bulk attempt last year. Then locked in from March-June and cut from 175lbs to 153.

Happy with the results but feel kinda goalless now, I guess next step is to just slowly build up?

On and off with gym for years, been very consistent training the last 7/8 months got back into solid shape and feeling strong. 6ft tall at 78kg. Have lost some fat in the last couple months, got a holiday in a couple weeks but not sure whether to continue trying to get shredded or to focus on bulking up further going into winter?

Arms and shoulders I feel are my strongest element, I want to build a bigger chest but I also want to see my lower abs and get lean

Hi, i lost around 8 kg over last 3.5 months ( Middle April to now).

I am 186cm and went from 90kg to 82kg, should i keep cutting, how much ? Do you see progress ? I feel like i start feeling weak especially during push days.

Any advice is appreciated thank you

I know there’s not really a point in getting shredded if you’re not competing but I just want to see what feels like and goal is to look like I‘m just a few weeks out from a show

Pictures were taken fasted in the morning with normal lighting

I‘ve been cutting for 4 months and started at 87kg (192lbs) and my gym performance, hunger, mood and everything else is still perfectly fine and I have no problem with cutting for a few more months

I'm very skinny fat, I hate my naturally wide hips and I store fat around my hips/stomach easily. I'm 6'2 20 79.3kg

Afraid if I start cutting now I will go back to being skinny. Not too worried of a long cut as I have struggled with bulking and I find it much easier to stop eating.

Was considering clean bulking till christmas then cutting down for next summer.

Cut down from 180ish undecided whether to continue or bulk before cutting more

240 (40% bf via dexa) down to around 185 (my guess is 19%, but I really don’t know). It’s been about 6-7 months since I started training and dieting seriously. I’m aiming for 175. I’m at the point where the weight has realllllly slowed down, but each pound is starting to drastically change my appearance.

Does 175 seem like a good stopping point (about 10-15lbs away) or should I go lower? Should I stop now? I’ve never had abs before and they’re finally starting to atleast somewhat show in the right lighting. Any estimate on my body fat as well? Can anyone point out strengths and weaknesses? Any areas lacking/any areas doing better than others? Dont have any current leg photos, but they are proportionate. 22m 5’11 for reference.

Hi everyone, I’m 20M, 133 lbs 5’7 (60 kg, 170 cm), and I’m wondering if I should continue cutting or begin maintaining/bulking?

I’ve been going to the gym for the past 7 months starting from 166 lbs (75 kg) in the 3rd pic and have been continuously cutting the entire time.

The primary reason for the cut has been that I’ve been wanting abs from the beginning, and there’s definitely some fat still left around the abdomen that I can’t seem to shake. However, I’ve only began training abs since about a month ago (yes I know i’m an idiot) and I’m also wondering if the lack of definition is more from lack of development rather than fat.

Any help/advice would be appreciated! Thanks for reading.

Finished 75 hard back in March and don’t know what to do now. Been doing mostly mobility with free weights at the gym when and a 45min walk/jog/run everyday. Kinds feel happy where I am and want to focus on calisthenics goals.

205 lbs 6’1” unflexed first then flexed

i get around 10.5k steps a day gym 5 days a week feel like high body fat 20 percent maybe im not too sure what to do
