I hv just started bodybuilding for 3 months, previously was on fat loss routine.. Alot of improvements all round, maybe its newbie gains..
I have some doubts regarding body fat, currently in at 20-21% body fat. Most of the sites online say we should start bulking at 15% BF and start cutting once close to 20% BF Im 175cm and 73kg and already wearing S sized clothes so i don`t want to get smaller.. So should i cut or bulk.. or do something in-between it? |

QUOTE(Armesh @ Aug 16 2014, 02:58 PM) You can bulk at any bodyfat. Just that i will recommend you drop to 10% and then lean bulk. Yes u will look skinny as shit while wearing t-shirt at 10%. Is it possible for me to gain muscle and maintain my body fat at 20%..if u bulk at 20% u will end up a fatass at end of bulk. Your wish.  Whats kind of diet should i follow? Currently im doing full body for the past 2 month plus with a balanced diet.. Pls give me some advice n tips since im a newbie.. tq  This is my current progress at 20% bf  |

QUOTE(kshen @ Aug 16 2014, 09:40 PM) Not necessary u will end up a fat ass For the past 2 month plus, my weight is stagnant between 73-74.5kg and body fat around 20-21%. But my shirts are getting tighter.. I supposed either my weight or BF should change if im bulking right, why is mine stagnant?  |

QUOTE(Armesh @ Aug 17 2014, 04:25 PM) Well, sorry bout the "fatass" thing. It's quite individual on that one like how a person like me starts feeling "fat" once i hit 20%> since i start having a slight belly and 0 abs. Thanks for the advice Armesh and Kshen...Wats TDEE Anyway OP if you feel u are fine, u can bulk at 20%. Make sure to cut once you hit your target weight (or bf%) and don't bulk forever. Just an individualistic preference. If you do a lean bulk now even at 20% ish you should be able to lean bulk for a good 4-5months without ending too fat provided you do it right.  Can you i have some tips on improving my workout and diet.. This is how my diet looks like: Morning Shake Oats (grind into powder) - 2 scoops Unsweetend chocolate - 1 tblspoon Whey protein - 1 scoops Lunch Wholemeal pasta/spaghetti/sweet potato ~ 100g Chicken breast in sauce Vege Pre-Workout 2 pcs Wholewheat biscuit or 1/2 Wholmeal pita bread 1 scoop whey protein Post-Workout 1 scoop whey protein + 1 tblspoon glucose 5 egg whites Dinner Brown rice ~ 1 small bowl Chicken breast Vege Supper Handful Roasted peanuts/half wholemeal pita bread with penaut butter Coffee with Stevia sugar Since im a beginner...Im doin full body strength training 3x and 1x cardio session per week Per Set(12x-10x-8x) 1. Bench Press 2. Incline Bench Press 3. Lat Pull 4. Seated Rows 5. Overhead Press 6. Barbell Curls 7. Overhead Dumbbell Extensions 8. Weighted Hyperextensions 9.
