Eh maybe if you hop on psmf. 7% is pretty hard to hit without losing a good amount of size most of the time. At least for me it was, it comes back but most of the time i was flat and felt terrible.

Damn.

Guess I'm about to get my angus peppered in these upcoming few weeks. Don't think I'm gonna be doing another run of PSMF - been listening to Kimm4's coaching to a T atm and followed the diet plan closely. It's in her hands now lulz. According to math calculations though losing 4-5 lbs would allow me to drop from 10-11% to 7%, which is in line with what time I have left b4 the show - but fat loss is never equal so I'd probably end up having to lose a bit more (like 10 lbs?)

Time to work my ass off and try to get there anyway. If not there's always that second show 7 weeks afterwhatever the case is gonna hit that big number 7 before I bulk up again. Wonder if I can maintain 9-12% BF while bulking up..fukin excited

Yeah id say 10 lbs would be more reasonable. You always lose a bit of extra water and mass cutting below 10% Its different for everyone but i was 173 and 12% and i got down to about 160 to get to about 7-8%. Regardless though in a month or so if you do everything right youre gonna look great. You should do well at the show regardless especially if you manipulate your water and carbs, you'll look leaner than you are.

Deadhead styling on us, ayyyyyy

Gonna start cutting in mid-late february. Can't way to get down to 10% again.

Also don't post non-natty pics, when you ask people to judge your bf% . Angel, lightning and filters make it a lot harder than necessary to make an educated guess.

do anybody elses obliques stick out A LOT unless sub 10%bf with almost 0 fat there? Even if my back was bigger, i still wouldn't have that V taper.Looks ok when posed from the side, but front looks bad, worse when i flex abs. Looks like a V but with a bump in the lower section.

Some really good aesthetics in here folks, from Kim to the guys.

I have one question for anyone who went from being rather skinny to packing on some muscle - I'm at about 85kg (183 cm tall) now and I think I could easily lose about 8-9kg of fat. I'd estimate I'm around 22% body fat or so.

I'm not saying I look good with my shirt off - I've put on some muscle but if I cut downnowand reach about 75kg I don't think I have enough muscle to pull off the lean look without looking rather twiggy. I haven't put on much size in the last year of lifting, but definitely got a lot stronger.

What I'm basically asking is - should I be doing that serious aesthetic push after I've built up a solid base of muscle that I'm comfortable with? Until now I've been eating fairly well, lifting a lot, just added in some cardio. But a long way to go still - trying to get the journey done right.

Keep up the work folks and the inspirational photos too.

When i first started in 2013 i was around 109lbs and i did bodyweight for 2 years then entered the gym. ive gained approx 37lbs so i would suggest bulking to get some muscle first then cut when u've got a solid base

If youre not gaining you aren't eating over maintenance. Up your cals by 300 and keep grinding it out man. Also if youre having a problem with oats try other sources. I bulked on cereal. I just prefer it.

Honestly it's up to you whether you want to add more muscle mass before you cut down or just bite the bullet and get shredded then slowly build back up while retaining the leanness.

I'm going with that second option. I started out skinnyfat and did a series of bulk/cuts/bulk/cuts and it probably wasn't optimal but it let me shed fat and build muscle slowly. Had I went full on bulker these past 2 years I may be obese by now. If I had cut for the past 2 years I'd probably be dead. Just nudge the weight slowly and over time the body composition's gonna look a lot better.

At 22% BF though I think you could cut down to 14% with minimal muscle loss, bulk to 16-17 then do a minicut again to 13, then repeat this time bulking to 16%, etc.

IN. Looking to drop 20lbs to be my leanest ever and achieve maximum aesthetics. I'm going to use a Keto/IF mix and tweak as necessary.

Good advice. Usually if you start out fat and bulk up, you just add a bunch of fat on top of fat with little muscle gain, which takes forever to lose later. IMO, bulking is for people who already have abs.
