    25ish sounds about right.

    Why is your bench so low?

    Mid 20's, agreed. Not quite 30, but not that far away.

    It's not that low.

    For a man of 165 pounds UNTRAINED the average is 120lbs.

    So how much weight should I be cutting w/o losing too much strength/muscle? I was thinking around 1.5 lb a week of what you're saying is true about my body fat%

    Between 25% and 30% does not mean 30%+
    And to me you look closer to 25% than 30%
    0.5% to 0.7% of your bodyweight per week for maximum fat free mass sparing
    Which means somewhere around 1lb reducing as you go down.

    I was 155-160 before, I've been doing calisthenics because of the lack of time I have, going to the gym and back takes a bunch of my time. Just so you know why, school+dance everyday+days I film=;(

    Newb question: what's a "clean bulk"?
  • sagarlalla

    Eat in calories surplus but as healthy as possible; no processed foods, only vegetables+meat, basically bulking + all natural foods

    This isn't really the definition of a clean bulk.

    The definition of a clean bulk is a bulk where you focus on keeping fat gains as minimal as possible. That's it.

    A dirty bulk is where you don't care about fat gains in addition to the muscle gains and gain more fat.

    A clean bulk is not about the types of food, it's about the rate of fat gain involved in the overall process.

    Also, this thread had been dead for over a month. Way to zombie.

    Great job mate! Keep going until 10-12% (best for nutrient partitioning/hormones) bf before reverse dieting and then slowly lean bulking. Good luck! What's your weight at now? Height? What program did you use?

    Weight is around 131-133
    Height- 5' 7 1/2"
    No program, just calorie deficit, decrease sodium in all foods, eat really clean (snuck in junk here and there)
    Stopped lifting weights, I only did calisthenics, I do pull ups everyday and I dance everyday.
    Full body workouts every other day

    Are you planning on bulking up and what are your goals?

    Tomorrow, I'm going to the gym to do some squats because assisted pistol squats just doesn't cut it. I'm going to slowly get into the bulking phase. I'm mostly going to focus on calisthenics, mainly because I have lots of other things to do that are also important for the time being. Goals wise... This guy
