    Most people would say wait til you're at 10-12%bf before bulking. But you're in great age range for growth, so you're going to respond to hypertrophy pretty well. So I wouldn't dismiss bulking out of hand. Just be careful not to bulk too heavy and keep an eye on the mirror, besides you're young and you'll have plenty of time to cut later on. Some find success with calorie cycling which maybe a consideration for you. That where's you do higher volume hypertrophy lifting while bulking for a few weeks, then cut for a few weeks while doing lower volume strength training. Then Just keep cycling that for a while.

    Advice for bulking -

    Google "tdee calculator"

    Enter in your info and add 300 to 400 calories to the result. This is your new maintenance calorie intake per day.

    Try it for a month. You may or may not gain weight ... If you don't simply add another 200 calories and repeat again the next month. Rinse and repeat until you get the results you want.

    Don't eat 10k calories per day lol

    I would but theres that inaccuracy especially for growing teens like me so i dont really know

    Bro, how old are you?

    18

    I agree with what @Simpyll said. At your age, you should set yourself up to gain about 0.5-1.0 lb per week. As long as you're lifting using a progressive overload program focused on compound movements, you should be able to make some good gains. Don't listen to the bros at your gym!

    Ok so just bulk? And should it be like the same clean meals like my cut so that i dont gain fat aka dirty bulk?

    At your age and weight bulking regardless of current body composition is what I'd recommend.

    Because being overweight is healthy, right?

    A 5'10" 19 year old male who weighs 155lbs is considered overweight?

    Not trying to be rude, Im just trying to understand how cutting is ever correct here. I can maybe see an argument for recomp. Maybe.. If I stretch my imagination.

    Lol 🙄

    I think you missed my point. I quoted someones who said "regardless of body composition, they should be bulking".

    which Imo is horrible advice

    I think you missed my point.

    We are talking about this specific person in this specific situation at this specific time.

    Given OP demographic data, provided history, and goals, he needs to start bulking. Perhaps I wasn't clear. My advice was directed at him and him only. Did you think I was talking to someone else?

    It would bring me great joy to hear your best argument for OP cutting given his current situation.

    I never said cutting, I don’t think you’re getting that I’m criticizing you and not OP.

    I get what you're attempting to do. I've also laid out the logic as to why you're wrong. See above.
