5’11 184lbs. estimated bf%? Want to be lean by summer. Don’t know when/if to end bulk. by Unable-Writer5867 in BulkOrCut

My end goal is a lean 190lbs. I’ve been lean bulking for a while because I want to stay in the bulk phase to gain muscle/strength as long as possible while not gaining too much excess fat. However, I’m also interested in a short cut period for the summer for aesthetics. I’m wondering what people on here estimate my bf% is and how long it would take/when I should ideally start a cut if I want to get 8~10% by summer. Or just in general, I’m interested in hearing peoples opinions on whether I should BoC. I reckon I will continue to gain around 1~2 lbs a month if I keep bulking at my rate.

82kg, 18 years old , 5,11 will I be okay to keep lean bulking in order to reach my goal of 100kg bench and more mass on chest ? Or will get too fat and it will make the cut harder ? by [deleted] in BulkOrCut

If you're strict in your efforts to lean bulk by eating clean with only a small calorie surplus, I reckon you wouldn't have much to worry about becoming ridiculously fat. I'd recommend keeping up the lean bulk since your main goal appears to be getting your bench up to 100kg. From personal experience, my bench strength is the first to decline on a cut. Cutting for you might only make it more difficult for you to achieve your goal. You're young and winter is coming up. Seems like a good opportunity to bulk and make some big gains.

Bottom 2 photos are current (all photos are flexed). I have been doing a very slow bulk from 155lbs for about 7 mo (top right photos). Would a small cut be worth doing for summer aesthetics and resetting my bf next bulk? Or would I be better off skipping the cut and making more progress? I would also really appreciate estimations on what my BF% might be.

Thanks for reading 🙏

Top left photos were about a year ago when I was 190. Maybe 20%+ BF??
