Cutting Vs. Bulking: a Redditor's Journey to Lean and Muscular Body

Introduction

A Redditor named norwegianatheist has shared his weight journey, where he is currently cutting for a couple of weeks to lose water weight and around 2-3 pounds. He aims to get visible abs and chest definition and later lean bulk during the summer. He is following a Push/Pull routine, as well as idealizing a lean and muscular physique.

Cutting vs. Bulking

Like many Redditors, norwegianatheist is torn between whether to cut or bulk. A commented user agreed that he should cut until summer as he already has a good foundation and can focus on maintaining lean mass year-round later on. However, another commenter added that he needs to bulk up more before shredding down to look massive.

Push/Pull Routine

Norwegianatheist's Push/Pull routine consists of four sets of eight reps of bench press, squats, overhead press, triceps, and calf raises on push days. For pull days, he does four sets of eight reps of Yates row, Romanian deadlifts, pull-ups, bicep curls, and rear delt flies.

Ideal Physique

Norwegianatheist's ideal physique is a shredded picture he found online, where the man looked massive and had defined abs, chest, and biceps. He wishes to attain a similar body in the future but acknowledges that it will take time.

Conclusion

Choosing whether to cut or bulk depends on personal preference and goals. Norwegianatheist plans to cut down to get visible abs and later lean bulk his way into summer. He also follows a vigorous Push/Pull routine, with increasing sets and reps as he progresses. With enough dedication and patience, anyone can achieve their ideal physique goals through a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
