    Never go on a cut during the holidays unless you're in my shape lol. Do a slow lean bulk, and then around Feb. start slimming down for the summer.

    what is a slow lean bulk?

    Thanks for comments, I think I'll do a 6 week cut pre xmas then bulk from there. Nice to see some debate!

    no way I'm doing any cut until after xmas :wink:

    Post a pic for comparison then?

    Not interested in getting into a pissing match about this but, here you go:

    body-fat-percentage-men.jpg

    I still think the OP "looks" closer to 20% than 15%. Those of you who think he's 15% will obviously conclude otherwise, but I definitely think he's somewhere in between.

    FWIW, I look like I'm between 10-12% and 15% (currently closer to the former) but I just got weighed/scanned (respectively) at 16 and 16.9% w/in the past 6 weeks. So, pics are not necessarily reliable in gauging BF%.

    To repeat myself again (for the final time), no way to really know unless he gets a DXA scan or gets weighed hydrostatically. Anything else is just a guess despite what you may insist.

    EOM. Ciao!

    OP does not have a visible belly or love handles as the 20-25% pictures show...he looks pretty bang on 15%ish with reasonable, but not a substantial amount of muscle mass.

    Perhaps you are leaner than you think and giving yourself credit for.

    The op looks a touch below the 15% picture.

    I HAD multiple DEXA scans (just something to do while losing weight) and @ my 26% scan I looked very close to the 25% picture (disregarding loose skin) which the OP sure as heck doesn't.

    Based on the poster pic I'd say OP matches most with the 15%.

    Based on their last post, I am thinking 14.1%...

    What do you want? more definition, then a slow cut. Get bigger, then a bulk and a cut (much more work). Personally I would just stay the same, you look great, eat the same and keep lifting heavier.

    I was gonna say exactly the same
