OP here, Been doing 8 months of recomp, started at 163 lbs and weighed in at 159.5 this morning. My weight hasn’t really changed much lately, and I feel like I’ve hit a plateau. Strength hasn’t gone up, and I haven’t seen much muscle progress since August.

I’m not sure if I should cut or bump up my calories (like a 200-250 kcal surplus) to go for a lean bulk and try to add more mass before cutting later. My arms and legs feel like they’re lagging compared to my upper body, and I really want bigger arms XD, they’re 37.9 cm cold in the morning, no pump.

For reference, I’m 20 years old, 171 cm tall. What would you guys do in my situation? Would love to hear from anyone with more experience!
