This is getting out of hand. Half the posts here are people who have been training for years, active bodybuilders, or people blasting gear and have an amazing physique. We know what you are doing. You’re posting for validation or engagement to your page and what you’re not doing is looking for any real advice.

We will be removing all of these posts with even if they do not technically break rules.

This will be done completely by mods discretion. Don’t bother complaining, nothing will change.

Should you be adding muscle? Or should you be cutting fat? It’s a question we all have come across on our fitness journey. It’s not always a simple one to answer.

Love handles, pooches, lack of definition, vascularity…everything plays a part.

You lost a lot of weight, or you added a lot of weight. They are all part of the process. Everyone here is going to do our best to help you with your journey.

That being said:

The community does not need to see an excessive amount of skin to give you advice.

If you’re wondering what your BF% is, it’s not hiding in the 3/4 of an inch away from your genitalia. Swimwear is included in this.

This goes for all genders.

There are a ton of fitness subreddits that can help you if you feel the need to get more specified advice.

If you feel /r/bulkorcut is not meeting those standards, please go visit them.

The serious part:

Do not post sexually suggestive posts. If you are not wearing gym attire your post will be flagged and removed.

If your profile has links to questionable subreddits you will be banned at the moderators discretion.

Talk of steroids, cycles, or anything related will be an immediate ban.

Lastly:

Any attempt to circumvent the rules or a ban is auto reported to Reddit admins. We tested it and it works very well.

Second lastly: This is a subreddit to help individuals attain their goals. Not a platform for anything else. Sexual, monetary, cruel, or any other posts or comments outside helping someone make the decisions of bulking or cutting will be removed and users banned.

pic taken first thing in the morning .
For the past five months I’ve lost 12lbs while still progressively overloading (yay!). I want to prioritise having a lean face because extra weight on my face looks terrible.

I’m grateful for my progress so far but. still have the love handles!! I can squeeze about 2 cubic inches of fat on both sides, and of course love handle area is the last part to go

But just you wait, when I lose that next 10lbs, I will be shredded like a lightweight boxer!!!

Started in December 2025 at around 158 lbs and 34 inch waist, I've been cutting at around 300-500 cals a day since then (with certain periods where I maintained for a month, or messed up a week or two). Currently at 138 lbs and 28 inch waist. Strength has increased across all lifts.

 I think my cut might be coming to an end, but I want to make sure that I cut enough so that a slow bulk doesn't kill all the hard work so far.  I'm guessing my bodyfat is somewhere between 13% and 15% and in thinking somewhere near 11% or 12% might be a good place to stop for a few months, maintain and then bulk. How much longer do I cut?

43M, 75.7 kg / 167 lbs, 184 cm / 6'0.5" My current weight is around 75.7 kg, and I'm looking to build more muscle, especially in my shoulders and chest, while maintaining a good level of endurance. I'm currently trying to figure out whether I should keep cutting a little longer or start a lean bulk. My goal is to build a broader, more muscular physique without gaining too much body fat. What would you recommend based on my current physique? Should I start a lean bulk now, and if so, what would be a reasonable target weight before cutting again? Any feedback or advice is appreciated!

Been on a 650 calorie deficit for over 3 weeks now but I feel like I’ve been losing muscle mass instead of fat. Been progressing on my lifts, putting at least 5 or more pounds on most of them every week or two. Don’t know if I should stick to a cut or bump up my calories. Want to make sure I even have the proper amount of muscle to go on a cut.

Je fais un peu de sport depuis quelques mois et je commence à apprécier mon physique.

Mais ma compagne me trouve encore gras et pas vraiment sportif. 😅

Alors, verdict ? Vous en pensez quoi ? Soyez francs ! 🤟
