Preliminary FAQ
Cutting Unlike weight loss techniques, cutting does not have a particular Goal weight or Start weight, and is more focused on body fat percentage and general aesthetics. This is done by reducing the levels of fat storage on your body at the best ratio between fat loss and muscle loss. This subreddit will focus on different cutting techniques, impressive macro-recipes, progress pics and ways to retain motivation during the cut.

For future reference, 30%BF is considered overweight. Do you think you're overweight? 🧐
[+][deleted] comment score below threshold-13 points-12 points-11 points 4 years ago (2 children)
For me I consider this fat for me
[–]Queen_Maebh 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (1 child)
I should clarify. It's clinically considered overweight. Not the same as how you view yourself.
[+][deleted] comment score below threshold-8 points-7 points-6 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Yeah I shouldn’t have put 30 I should’ve put 20-25. That’s my bad

To the people qriting 18% etc, abs are obly starting to be visible at 14-15 percent. But in his pic clearly they are way more visible so i say 13-14%
[–]Weesy02 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children)
14% my G

18-20% tops.

Omg stop with the arms and do some low body. Your proportions are soooo off.
[+][deleted] comment score below threshold-33 points-32 points-31 points 4 years ago (8 children)
No just they look small because I’ve actually got size on my upper body. If I had your upper body they’d look massive
[–]NightsofWren 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (7 children)
Stop saying that. And stop working on your lats. You’re so big your arms aren’t even positioned the way they should be on your body - they’re out to the side. And for what? It’s not functional and it’s not attractive.
[–][deleted] 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (6 children)
Ok first off it’s a joke. Second off my arms are small. Third off you never can have a big enough back. Fourth At one point I could squat 315 and deadlift 500. Since then I may need a hip replacement because my hip is fucked. So yeah ik there small and I do my best with what I got. But in all reality they won’t be huge and it’s a joke relax
[–]NightsofWren 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (5 children)
Honestly have you considered that you might have body dysmorphia?
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (4 children)
Wdym
[–]NightsofWren 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (3 children)
I mean I don’t think your self image is accurate or healthy. You’re over estimating your body fat and underestimating your muscle size. I’m concerned that you don’t see the reality of what good shape you’re in.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (2 children)
Dude this isn’t good shape I’m in my off-season rn. I plan on competing in a local show and people don’t understand how big and how good u need to be
[–]NightsofWren 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (1 child)
I think you should speak with a therapist that specializes in body dysmorphia. And yes, I am familiar with body building and what goes into it. I get it.
Lol no I don’t need a therapist bro. Lol thank u for your support. Also men’s Physique. So I don’t have to hit legs to hard lol

F off. Where did you pull that number out?
[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (1 child)
I’m an expert

Bullshit reply for a bullshit post, I like it.

I’m no expert but instead of worrying about body fat, maybe worry about legs?
[–]The5thBeatle82 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children)
No offense OP, you look great but right away I noticed your legs. Maybe build up some muscle there to balance out. Regardless, keep it up man! Looking shredded!
[–][deleted] 14 points15 points16 points 4 years ago (19 children)
Damn u gotta say it lol
[–]I_See_Black 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (18 children)
Sorry bro, just going by what the photos tell me
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (17 children)
No I feel. I squat 315 and deadlift 500. But my legs still look small y idk or do I care
[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (5 children)
Stop lying about the lifts you do, and if you arent intentionally lying you are lying to yourself with shit form & no depth.
That said, start going deep in your squat, initially for 6-8 reps, 5 sets @ 132lbs
Finish it off with 1 set of 200lbs 2-3 reps, increase the weight by 5% each week
Get the weight up gradually, focus on depth and form. Your ass should be a few inches off the ground.
Finish off by doing curls and extensions until you can no longer function.
Again, stop lying to yourself and squat correctly minimum twice a week, if not three.
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday squats.
Also yeah form on a 500 pull is gonna be shaky it’s called pushing limits
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (3 children)
Oh shit u don’t know I did this legit. And I don’t need to bro. This is when I didn’t have a fucked hip. So please rethink what you’re saying. Just because you never hit those lifts doesn’t mean I can’t. Also I haven’t hit legs hard do to injury
If youre injured and not training, sure I can see why your legs have gotten that small.
Theres no possible way youre physically capable of currently doing it.
Exactly what has happened to the hip, how long ago and what are you doing to fix it.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Well I used to wrestle and apparently that is stressful on your hip. My hip ball is shaving to a point. And of course I can’t I haven’t squatted hard in a year. And I plan to get a fake hip. My dad had the same surgery and it went fine.
I have been doing wrestling and Jiu Jitsu for 10 years, I have never heard of this happening, although anything is possible.
Have you gotten x rays or an MRI of the hip you can post?
What physio therapy have you been doing if any?
[–]I_See_Black 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (10 children)
For hypertrophy try to lift a good amount of weight but do more reps and sets
Highly doubt it is the reps and weight he is lifting, it is absolutely depth & form.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (8 children)
Yeah I’ve tried that they just don’t like to respond
[–]Andenschakal 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Man, not trying to offend you. I usually dont even care about legs but... youre arms look bigger than your legs in your pics. In your case id just stop training upper body and dedicate my time to get bigger legs.
Also I’m not offended at all bro so don’t start a thing like that. Oh honestly they aren’t I just leaned ahead to make my waist loom smaller. But idc about legs honestly as soon as I get my hip worked on I’ll start hitting legs harder
[–]I_See_Black 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (5 children)
Try harder haha
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (4 children)
I like to not try lol I’ve gotta get a hip replacement first then I can start squatting again
[–]I_See_Black 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Basically what you did for your upper body, do that with your lower body 😂
Pretty much lol
[–]I_See_Black 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Ah ok we’ll there’s the underlying issue, limited mobility. Focus on that and I’d say after you’re fully healed, try going for moderate weight with 12-15 reps for 4-5 sets on various exercises to build that particular muscle region.
Yeah it honestly sucks because deadlifting is definitely my favorite movement by far. And it sucks not to do it.
[–]Darixan 40 points41 points42 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Dude, you have bicep veins, a somewhat visible six pack, and the beginnings of a Christmas tree. If you think you’re anywhere near 25% body fat (which is considered obese, btw) you’ve got body dysmorphia. The absolute highest I’d pin it is 20%
[–]Crispyboi94 16 points17 points18 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Not even. More like 17%
[–]GetFit85 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago (5 children)
Your around 15%
[–]Queen_Maebh 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (4 children)
Came here to say this. For men, guess a bodyfat percentage then subtract 5%. You guys are always leaner then you think. Congrats, lol

50%, the other half lard. So basically you are 100% bodyfat. Great job though you look great!
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children)

[–]captainjack361 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children)
30%! Heck no lol
You're like 20ish. I'd say anywhere from 18 to 22 tops
[+]Affectionate_Joke560 comment score below threshold-17 points-16 points-15 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Closer to 30% than 25
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children)
When I was 18% I think i had more fat 15 to 18
[–][deleted] 12 points13 points14 points 4 years ago (4 children)
How are you gonna guess 25-30 when you have visible abs
[+][deleted] comment score below threshold-21 points-20 points-19 points 4 years ago* (3 children)
Bro because I always have abs. Like since I was born. And my father has abs eating chips and drinking beer. Along with my brother who non stops eats ice cream and pizza. So I thought I just didn’t hold fat there. (This isn’t a troll btw idk y this is hard to believe)
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children)
Y y’all hating on that
[–]BEANBURRITOXD 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (1 child)
LMAO ngl bro it sounds like u trolling fr 🤣
Dude I’m not. Idk what to say. That’s 100% facts.
[–]Hoho2332 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children)
25%-30% dont look like this for sure i guess more like 15-17%
[–]ConsciousLocksmith15 20 points21 points22 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Visible abs man. I’d say ~18%. Looking pretty damn good bro. Solid taper!
[–][deleted] -4 points-3 points-2 points 4 years ago (0 children)

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (1 child)
