Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Man I'm 5'7 175lbs 12.9% and I'm currently cutting down to 10% but deep down I want to bulk because I've actually never bulked up in my life. I need more muscle.

Gym brehs, should I cut down to 10% first then bulk or just bulk right now?

I didn't hit my goal for this summer so I'm just focused on summer 17 now.

@Originalgangsta317 @Luck

I would say cut down first. Life is more enjoyable when you are lean and if you are careful about holding on to your strength you will bounce back fast AF. I just wrapped up a nice 20lb cut. I kept my reps + weight the same and actually got a good bit stronger. Once I got back in a surplus my muscles filled up like balloons and I was able to add on a ton more volume. And I'm still veiny and much leaner than when I started. You are going to have to cut eventually, might as well do it now when you're at 13% than later when you are 15-16%. Better to stay leaner on average if being lean is part of your goals.

The worst part is that wasn't the pinnacle. I'm searching for the images of the equipment so I can describe it.

My friends invited me to the beach 3 weeks ago and I was chubby from my bulking


Did an emergency cut and it was exhausting, I'd been going 12 weeks straight with no deload so I took a week off and I'm about to start back up nice and easy

Strep gone. I'm rested up. Back to the grind today :hodge:

I worked out on legs on Friday.
Someone has a challenge to lift your body weight 15 times in the squat, deadlift and bench press. So, I warmed up with 135 lbs for 10 reps. Then, I did 180 lbs. for 15 reps. I weighed in around 177 that day.
Then, I did 185 lbs. x 10 reps
190 lbs. x 10 reps
195 lbs. x 10 reps
200 lbs. x 10 reps
