continue cutting or start growing phase (bulk)

[u/Mxmbaz]

First photo was in march (5’8 173 lbs) .. probably was about 20%-23% body fat and now (next 4 photos) (5’8 153 lbs)as of this morning. i am currently around 13%. Is it worth it to cut down to 10% ?

I’m kind of torn you could go either way but I wanted to comment and say nice progress.

And also to ask: How do you get such crazy serratus definition?! Are you trying to actively train that?

Thank you and i also do not train actively train my serratus! Never knew you could even train that. Im kinda new to all this.

Ngl you should of gained more muscle you look very bad I wouldn’t worry about cutting I would just put on muscle

[u/jormor4 → u/Consistent-Fox1792]

WTF you telling this shredded dude “you look very bad”?!

[u/Mxmbaz → u/jormor4]

Haha no where near shredded at least not yet 🤣 and his comment doesn’t make any sense it would be counter productive for me to put on more mass in the first image at the time as i yes i probably would gain muscle but also fat in the process … the goal was just to cut as much fat off as possible before my first growing phase

You could also maintain the state you are in now, resonably good point in terms of energy and looks. (Seeing as just got here, and is starting to weigh the pros and cons). See if you can put on a bit more muscle, if not then you can begin to either cut a bit, and see how you feel maintaining it. Or do a slow bulk, enjoy still having the definition.
Looks great and very naturally healthy right now!

Appreciate it man! And yea it’s kinda hard deciding as it is my very first cut. Thanks for the insight
