Deficit or bulk

[4ktrey]

I'm torn between cutting and bulking. I want to be lean to avoid being a fatcel, but I also believe bulking would be beneficial for my growth, as I could eat more and consume more nutrients.

(am I stupid?)

yeah, cut definitely but make sure it’s sustainable and you have maintenance breaks if needed so that binging doesn’t occur.

doesn’t have to be raw tbh, i eat my steaks cooked and it’s perfectly fine. it’s all up to how a person can stick to something for a long period of time. whole foods are definitely a necessity tho.

you should cut as well i remember you said you’re 25%, both of you should try and get down to 12-15% (don’t be too aggressive tho)

try not giving urself a time frame, just go for it. tbh i dont think its possible to get lean by winter, it takes a long time to lower bf%, if you give urself a time frame u will not be motivated once winter comes.
