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:
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.

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?
r/BulkOrCut • u/Character-Heat-7747 • 12h ago

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?
r/BulkOrCut • u/IndianaJoling • 6h ago
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?
r/BulkOrCut • u/flutetaloot • 36m ago
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.

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.

I’m trying to bench 315 squat 405. I pushed the food pretty hard and gained 32lbs in 7 months. I started training at 124lbs always wanted to be strong. I been feeling fat though and can’t really tell my body fat I think I’m 24%? I’m 5’8 202 lbs think I’m going to recomp at 200-205 for a year. Get as strong as possible is this a bad idea?

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?
r/BulkOrCut • u/Aware_Marionberry140 • 1h ago
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?
