Should I cut or bulk at 18?

This is a stupid question. How do you expect us to answer it without any background information or pictures?

I’ll try my best:

If you haven’t lifted before bulk. Unless you’re fat. In which case cut.

Gain size and bulk, cutting doesn’t always magically increase your smv, cutting down is used to reveal what’s underneath, if there’s no muscle, then what is there to show? Instead of cutting down and most likely becoming skinny fat, spend that valuable time building muscle, which is harder and a longer process. After a year or more then cut down.

Doesn't matter.

If you are disciplined and have the balls to know you'll be lifting for the rest of your life, just jump on the fucking tilt-a -whirl.

ut for summer abs, bulk for winter potbelly. It never ends, so burning braincells regarding when you should buy tickets is asinine. You missed your summer cut cycle, so go for a big bulk. It doesn't matter.

Body recomposition- eating at or slightly above maintenance calories in a healthy, nutritional way. Lots and lots of protein to keep your nitrogen levels positive.

Only do this if you're 15-20% body fat, otherwise clean bulk or eat at a calorie deficit with lots of protein and STILL workout hard.

depends on your body type. I’m 22. Lifted since I was 14 (9 it you count bullshit kid excercises). My body size has been all. If you gain/ lose weight easily like me then cut. Bulking is a bitch and not attractive. Also no female gives a shit how much you lift. So be cut.

How about you lift first.
