Thanks for being so specific. I agree with slimey. Go see mirror.

Mirror best judge to decide bulk or cut.

Thanks for this totally unnecessary post. Do you actually post things like this for the sake of posting or you're actually serious? What part of my earlier comment was unclear? You're the one who judges yourself. Or if you want people to judge you, then post your pic instead of sounding so vague.

Lol you were too vague. A recomp will take quite some time. A slow cut down to 10-12% seems legit then bulk. Cos if your bf% is too high, bulking will just make you gain more fat than muscle.

Honestly, IIFYM can only go so far. It can be abused easily if one is not careful. Sure I can cut on nasi lemak, burgers and all that and I'm in one of the phases where I'm in the best shape of my life at below 8% bf. But you need to realize there is a difference in hormonal makeup in very lean individuals vs the average person, especially insulin sensitivity.

A person who is leaner will have a greater chance of success at bulking because he will have less predisposition to gain bodyfat and more predisposition to gain muscle compared to a person who is not lean enough to begin a bulking cycle.

I don't exactly support IIFYM, I more like support IIWFY (if it works for you). There's a line between flexible dieting, IIFYM and eating junk. A lot of beginners and intermediates will not see that line but if you get into the game longer enough, you'll see it.

Oh man.... too long of a post. You need to research buddy. But before you get influenced into IIFYM and pics of noodles, fried rice and stuff, do your research first and foremost. Find out why some of us can do it and get away with it, then strike a balance between the 2. You cannot be too strict and you cannot be too lax either.

NO refeeds for anyone with high bodyfat. Lol. Or, refeed very infrequently like once every 2 weeks. Bigger deficit. Lol, suck it up.
