Is being 155lb at 5’11 acceptable if you’re shredded

I’m currently 170lb but not shredded and feel I probably have another 15lbs to lose stil to get shredded. I’ve weighed as much as 188lb in my day but was a more bulky build. 155lb is borderline twink teir, but I’m close to my natty limit unfortuantely so what can u do

you need to bulk to 220 and hit class one on all big 3 and cut to 188

I won’t be able to achieve that naturally, I’ve got a lot of lower body mass to add but upper body wise I’m close to my natural limit

Such is life on the natty train brah. I'm an inch taller and if I were to cut down to a legit 9-10% right now, assuming training/nutrition/recovery were 100% on point I would have to drop down to around 160-165# at most.

You might weigh more than me, but comparing our Avis I clearly look a lot better than you do so guess it’s just bone structure and frame etc

I never paid attention to the scale.

The only thing that should concern you is the mirror.

Yea that was when I was around 150 a few years ago. My only goal atm is to put on lean mass, because being lean is overrated unless you have a decent amount of mass to build off of

Lol at comparing AVIs like that. All that means is you spent more time adjusting the lighting and camera angles, finding the right area to crop, and have no frame of reference in the pic to show how small you are. Those tricks won’t work in real life boyo

If you have elite structure, then yes. Otherwise, 155 will look tiny on a 5'11 frame

I’m same size. XS tees at Uniqlo are the best fit for this size assuming you have a similar build as me with broad chest and shoulders.

You shouldn't ask others what is acceptable, but ask yourself, what you wanna look like.
If you want to look big and strong forget about cutting that low. If you prefer being lean and like that look get that lean.

As someone who's 6'1" and used to be 140, I can honestly say I've loved the way I've looked, all the way up to 210lbs(while working out the entire time).

Looking back, I realize I looked scrawny in the 140-165 lb range. But didn't think so at the time.

Do you.
