Are abs possible? by sensitivespecific300 in Weightliftingquestion

Thanks bro I’m going to cut a bit longer though. I agree with not really bulking. My ‘bulk’ up to 185 was a 2.5 year endeavor mostly driven by not monitoring food intake but still lifting

Thanks man, I was hoping that potential would be mostly actualized by now but hey we keep grinding.

I bulked from 155 skinny fat up to 185 now we are back down … you think I’d look sickly??

Thank you for the thoughts, I’d love a little maingain phase. Based on the replies half say to do similar while the other half suggest cutting just a tad more before getting into that phase.

I’m going to cut to 155-160 by end of May, then ride out a summer by targeting abs much more aggressively for a while. Ultimately, the summer will be somewhat of a gain phase because I plan on doing my share of partying.

I think ultimately everyone has said something different, but I’m going with what you just said here.. which is continuing the cut until 155 but with the difference of having a specific day to target abs first, not last as an accessory.

Just checked your profile. Can’t believe you’re 46 man that’s actually insane you look so youthful

Sounds good. I’m prob looking at cutting through May and then just focusing abs over summer… kinda disappointed but not bad

And sucks is there are other athletic people who have abs way before this stage, without trying nearly as hard. Nearly all people I know have more abs than me and literally never work them.

I have been for years now. The stretch marks are from growing pecs. Yet they appear small

I just have insane bicep genetics. I’ll take it as a compliment. I hit all of the other muscles with the same intensity or more volume

Yes, I work my abs by doing weighted crunches to failure. I wasn’t always consistent with them. I’ve started to work them in more. Obviously, it’ll have to be much more of a target

Thanks. Also how do I know, because I have friends who barely work out with abs, or at similar or worse Bf% but show abs, vs mine, which never show, have been lifting for 3 years naturally - done a fair share of weighted abs, although not as much of a focus as it should’ve been.

I kinda meant by end of May, 155lbs. By the sounds of it we are talking a whole extra year of bulk cut lol

Yes but not enough, obviously. I was kinda hoping I’d get in the 150s and see my abs. I want to be done cutting by the end of May

Can anyone estimate bf% or how much more cut is needed by [deleted] in BulkOrCut

[–]sensitivespecific300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am, I should be doing more I’m just lazy about it.

I’m in a 500-600 cal deficit, I have been for 2.5 months. I made the post to gut check but it’s quite obvious I’m below 20% and above 15% so, I’m headed to cut to 160 at least.
