Advice Needed

Mike_0518

Hi, I'm 24 years old. I am currently new to the whole fitness thing. I started out weighing 225 lbs and currently at 179 my height is 5'10. I was wanting advice from someone experienced to see how much more weight should i lose to start actually seeing muscle and when should i start attempting to gain muscle mass or "bulk". My current diet and exercise routine consists of low calorie/carb diet and exercise equipment used at the moment is a boflex. Your advice will be appreciated! Imagine below is of me currently to get the best feedback.

Start a lifting program now. Depending on your build I would think 10 more lbs but a pic would help. Do you know how to lift?

Picture posted. I have lifted weights in the past off and on, but this is the first time I have actually taken it seriously and stuck with a diet.

So do you want to build some muscle or bodybuild? The answer will. determine your eating goals and training style.

Build muscle without getting extremely again.

Bodyweight exercises while maintaining a slight deficit combine with some lifting would be good. 2 to 3 sessions of cardio per week.
