Help With my Physique (Bulk or Cut)

CLEAN bulk.

1) Try cycling your carbs around your workouts. Only eat carbs pre workout, then stay VERY low carb 99% of the day. That way your body is in a near ketogenic state constantly and COMPLETELY OBLITERATES ANY CARB you eat during the workout. Bonus! The carbs help give you better workout, which induces MORE GAINS.

2) Also, make sure you're NOT eating more than 500 calories over maintenance. You body CANNOT build but so much muscle at a time, EXTRA CALORIES WILL BECOME STORED BODY FAT(and that's the story of how I got my powerlifting gut). If not sure, then calculate your BMR, multiply by your estimated activity level. Now add 500 calories to THAT number. Make sure you get close to 1gram of protein per pound of bodyweight.

PRO TIP:

Do 5-10 sets per exercise, train with DROPSETS til Failure, and do isometric chest and triceps squeezes after EVERY SET. The contractions and mind-muscle connection will be "interesting". WARNING! You will see hypertrophy and strength gains the likes of which you've never seen before, OP.

Eat at maintenance, do a strength focused full body workout 3 times a week (GSLP, Alphadestiny Novice etc.) and do cardio on your off days.

You still look like a beginner to me and I personally think PPL isn't optimal for beginners. Don't get me wrong it can be a great program, but beginners benefit a lot more from higher frequency full body splits in my experience.

Increase protein intake, keep carbs and sugar low, and keep lifting

Squat and Bench more. Lacking in those areas. Just eat clean and keep doing what you're doing.

Since you're skinny cutting wont get you anywhere. PPL how many days a week, 4? Its probably a good routine.

When it's still early in your journey like this though, less is more. If you are in any way unsure about your program i would recommend Stronglifts 5x5 or Starting Strength (both are 3x a week) while you do a clean bulk.

Having an extra day off is a good thing and you get extra time to focus on diet. Do one of these for a year to build strength and frame. You can then change up the program if you wish to start supplementing with hypertrophy and isolation excercises.

Neither. Just eat healthy and lift.
