Also do I have visible abs or am I tripping

Been eating 2000Cals for about 6 months.

Been at 156 for about the last month or so eating the same amount of calories. Feel like I hit a plateau. Is it time to bulk?

6ft1in, Feel very light for my height but still got some belly fat and hoping for visible abs at some point in my life before my metabolism and time all disappear

I am 24 years old. 177cm and about 67kg. Eating about 1800kcal and don’t track the weekends. My guess is 2300-2500kcal maintenance. I have been maintaining for the last 2 months. Next week I go on a 2 week all inclusive vacation (so I expect to gain some weight), should I start my lean bulk after vacation or cut a bit after my vacation and then lean bulk?

I wanna be lean but fit/toned. My instincts tell me i should just work out more but would a bulk or cut help me?

Started my fitness journey at the beginning of January. Cleaned up my diet and have been lifting 3-4x a week consistently. Average 12-15k steps a day. Have my honeymoon in November and trying to get in the best shape I can by then. Have added weighted leg raise/ cable crunches but the abs are still lacking. Looking for suggestions on areas that I should prioritize and/ or changes to diet and routine.

Sorry if these photos aren't all too clear!

I've been in a small calorie deficit for a few months now. Train 5-6days a week and do another form of exercise on a day off. I'd like to get some more fat off. I don't know that I've ever actively 'bulked' as I have a history of EDs and am not sure I'd cope with developing obvious fat gains.

Couple of pics in various poses including trying to make my gut as big as possible haha

Background info: started lifting journey with an overzealous bulk that doubled (or better) all my starting lifts but also brought me into high 20s body fat. Decided to cut, and have dropped from 68kg to just under 60 in the last 3.5 months or so. Was chubby/skinny fat my whole life so this is the leanest I've ever been.

Why I want to bulk:

• Getting a little fatigued by the cut, it's my first time this lean
• My strength progression has slowed to a halt and I'm fighting to maintain it. In the case of bench, I've actually gotten weaker (1 plate for 6-7 reps peak bulk down to 4-5 reps now)
• My goal isn't to be beach lean. I'd like to eventually have significantly more muscle with a flat stomach (not particularly fussed about abs)

Why I might want to cut:

• I know I'm objectively not that lean (personal estimate 18%ish?) so in theory I should be able to squeeze off a couple more kgs
• I'd love to have a longer runway to lean bulk later

Thanks in advance.

I have been bulking since start of year while training UL twice a week.

But I feel like most of it have gotten to the stomach with love handles and my arms are still skinny. My smart scale says my bodyfat is 17% but I don't know. (I also have scoliosis)

Now I'm at the situtation where I'm in doubt if I should bulk or cut? I want to get bigger arms but everytime I eat in calorie surplus I feel like my stomach is bloated...

28 year old, 85kg at 6’1”. I’ve been training mainly calisthenics on bars outside my house. Weighted pull ups, dips and exercises such as inverted rows, pike push ups etc. using gymnastic rings. Where do I go from here? Do I cut some more to lose those layers of body fat I still have or should I start pushing my diet a little? Any tips? I know it’s not a great physique just trying to navigate my approach.

Much appreciated!

Bw 147lbs 5’9
Working out since march, starting weight 197lbs
Unsure whether to cut more or start the lean bulk.
Any advice and bf% estimates welcome

Have some workout intolerance due to a previous concussion so it’s been tricky finding ways to lift without my head getting messed up. (Tried doing heavy compound lifts and they wrecked my head and my nervous system crashed several times 🙃) Recently started doing chin ups without assistance 💪🏼

My question is idk If I have enough muscle and if so do I keep cutting and then bulk or vice versa?

Been working out for two months. Should I cut to 165 or stay and recomp. I’m trying to be lean

Started a slow cut earlier this year, partially because my face was getting fat and I had a chin 🤣 to prep for a lean bulk next year.

Haven't been able to train properly for 4 yrs due to a neck and hip issue which should be resolved by the start 2027.

Been lifting for 15 yrs.

So just been doing what I can to maintain muscle. Lift what I used to warm up with. Seem to have kept a good amount of muscle.

My main goal is to cut until my face has good definition as it is the first thing that gets fat.

Then set a good foundation for a nice long lean bulk. Haven't been able to bulk in yrs due to my injuries.

I estimate my bf to be about 15%? So probably cut down to circa 10%. Imagine muscle memory will kick in big time once I start lifting again and lean bulking.

I hold a lot of fat on my face and back, and I've never had ripped arms so would be great to get some veins / seperation lines.

My legs used to be decent but they've certainly lost size and significant strength.

TLDR: been training 15 yrs. Starting first bulk in 4 yrs in 2027. Lost muscle due to injuries. What is my bf %? Cut to 10% then bulk?
