CUTTING vs BULKING - Which One FIRST For Beginners?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2017
- As a beginner, should you cut or bulk first? Cutting and bulking has its uses, and both are necessary if you want to optimize your gains. Trying to do both at the same time can also create results, but typically not as effective as doing one or the other. So for beginners, which one should it be first? Cutting weight and burning fat or bulking to build muscle and get stronger? Well, I have an opinion on such a matter!

seboskater I see I'm on the right track as well.
I've been lifting for 25 years. My advice is BE SAFE! Use proper techniques, no playing, be mindful of your surroundings, and know your limitations. Don't worry about what other people may think. No one is looking at you. Take your time, rest between exercises. stay hydrated and eat well.

It all depends on where you start and where it is you want to go. I was skinny but fit when I first started lifting. I didn't want a six pack and defined arms, I wanted to be bigger and more imposing. I went for bulk because I started small and I wanted to be big. But if that's not your goal then you have to change that
I’m skinny with a little muscle. I want to be bigger in certain areas but keep the 6 pack any ideas ?
@@chrisgiulietti5181 I think you’ll have to bulk to get bigger and then cut to reveal abs later
im skinny fat qhat do u think i shoudl do?
@@503chixo im skinny fat 67 kg 5,8 should i cut or bulk?
I'm the same way. Always been kinda skinny but in good shape. At a certain point I told myself "fuck being small and skinny, im tired of this". Basically I tried to gain as much weight as I could and lift as much weight as I could often. I definitely went for straight bulk starting a few years ago. The "shredded" kind of build looks better and is more visually appealing BUT more mass and bulk kind of strength looks more powerful. I just want brute strength, simple as that.

I think the best thing for most people is to eat at maintenance or slightly below it and put on muscle. With time everything with slowly sort itself out. Great video :D
True, if only people are willing to wait for the results. Unfortunately, with so much marketing falsely advertising "SUPER FAST" results, patience is a lost virtue in fitness. I do think it's better to choose one or the other, so at least you know what to expect.
how long will it take to see results?
Shaina S It depends
Of course, you can if you're new to weightlifting.
it depends
I really like your channel. It's well researched, well explained and, most importantly, you don't give easy answers and often reiterate whenever you're giving scientific information or just your opinion. Great work!
When I first started my fitness journey I cut fat the wrong way by severely restricting my calories and remaining sedentary. This left me “skinny fat” with no muscle or strength. I’ve been bulking now for about 8 months and it’s difficult for me because I do see the fat piling back on but I also see the muscle so I’m hoping when I go through my cutting cycle in about 3 months I’m going to reveal the body of my dreams 😍 until I start bulking again lol
How’d the cut go?
@@damiencaro1085 way better! I can definitely see more muscle tone. It honestly came down to adding in cardio 2x a week but increasing my protein intake and slightly reducing my calories. I naturally put on weight easily so I’m still a little soft but overall happy with my results :)

Great video. I'm eating popcorn and jerky while watching, on a bulk. I started as a skinny hard gainer at 112 lbs 3 years ago, I am now 150 lbs in a lean bulk. The majority of lean mass came from the last 6 months though as I learned I wasn't eating enough protein. I am training a few of my other incredibly skinny friends now, but I would agree with you and say cutting is best for anyone who is new and unmotivated or alone in their training.
Awesome!
Cool how old were you when you started?
Really helpful mate. Thanks! :)
love your videos bro
Woah weird finding you here
Love your tabs video bro I hope you're buff now
OK, pros and cons
Cutting:
Pros:
Aesthetics
Easier to do when you start
Cons:
You have to eat less
You can't eat favorite foods
Bulking:
Pros:
You are strong
You get a boost at the start
Cons:
Most people associate abs with strength
You need to spend much money on food
Ok I'll do bulking since I wanna be strong
Nah shoulders arms and chest are most associated with strength
@@kanroji6447 so bulking is better for beginners? I just wanna be strong too but not a fat cube tho.
@@aty4282 bulking in my opinion is easiest, since theirs different ways to bulk, you can bulk the right way, dirty bulking, slow bulking etc. When it comes to cutting you're on a calorie deficit, which I think is hard for most people.
@@SiskoCisco oh, okay. Thanks.
When I first started lifting a year ago I was a bit overweight so I decided to cut first but my goal was not to lose wait and look skinny but lose weight and maintain muscle. For beginners like me I would definetly recommend cutting first. Lift weights and stay on a calorie deficit of about 3-500 calories if you go below that you might lose muscle as well so its important not to starve yourself either. I've been doing this for about a year now and Ive seen amazing results which keeps me motivated. Heck I even have a six pack now and I didn't even dream of getting a six pack. Just remember you cant see results overnight, you have to stay consistent and focus on you're diet aswell. Diet is 70% exercise is 30%. Just keep grinding and you can do it too!
Question if you still have this account um so bulking is high calories, an cardio an lifting excessive, an cutting is low cal an exercise/ strength like lifting an stuff
Cutting is eating at a calorie deficit and bulking is eating at a calorie surplus. Training should be balanced accordingly. If you are cutting your training should be focused around trying to preserve as much muscle as possible and when you're bulking you should focus on building muscle mass. As far as cardio goes for bulking I honestly don't know (I'm rather new to this myself), but it surely doesn't make sense to cardio on a cut unless you balance your diet in such a way that you hit the deficit you want by doing cardio.
More like exercise is 70% and diet is 30%. You can eat really well but if you don’t exercise regularly or don’t use correct form. You got little to no results.
@@iramak4195 If you bulk, don't always do excessive amounts of cardio. You will lose muscle mass that way. Do 40/60 between cardio and lifting weights.
Cutting is for people who are overweight. You have to lose it all to bulk. But, if you never worked out before and you aren't one of those people that went from cut to bulk to back to cutting and bulking, you can lose weight AND bulk at the same time, you just need to know the right workouts to do. It's just something that happens.
Also avoid losing more than 2 pounds a week. That's not healthy, and you can mess with your body if you do. And if say you're like 300 pounds and want to lose a lot of weight, you will get loose skin. Avoid this by also filling those spots with doing weight training, as I told you already, and using cream and taking supplements. It'll still be loose, but not as noticable. Hoped this helped.
@@danhk96 it's gotta be a 40/60 balance basically.
“It depends” most disappointing answer ever
Yet the most honest one
Yet the most realistic one
Yet the most obvious one
Reality is often disappointing

Love these videos! Working with my little sister right now and these are supper helpful to get her started!
I was 6”2 and underweight I got to 140lbs. I decided to bulk, eat more , gain atleast 5-10 lbs before working out regularly . I wanted to prevent injury as much as possible and I’m now at 167 and feel and look great so whatever works for people
bro if i cut first i'll literally disappear 💀
😂😂
If you're skinny then you don't need to cut.
I have been doing both. I focus on cutting for some time and slowly graduate to bulking then gradually go back to cutting for 2 weeks and regressing back to bulking for another 3 weeks. The results have been amazing and I'm only 6 months (after doing this for a year) taking a 3 month break from the cycle after having had a laparoscopic hysterectomy. I am not doing much ab work these days but it has helped me focus on the cycle and it has both kept me going and coming back for more!! I'm still losing weight but not forfeiting my gains. One feeds the other.
I remember being a subscriber of this channel for over a year, and your videos never disappoint
Glad you've enjoyed it for so long!
Ive been on a cut for a while I'm 227 Ibs right now and I'm trying to hit 200 or less my BMR is 2150 and I eat about 2200-2300 thanks to your videos I understand more of what i should be doing and seeing results thank you♡
I like the idea of getting good form first, learning the exercises, and managing time without focusing on how big you are getting in the first few weeks.
I haven't been watching your videos lately but I just caught up on a bunch and I love the content!!👍🏼 keep up the good work👍🏼
i have been struggling with which one to do first, and this video was sooooo helpful! like a cutting or bulking for dummies! love this video so much
Really like the reasoning that cutting first allows you to work on your technique without feeling that you’re losing gains!
It depends. Lean bulk and cut. Rinse and Repeat. Exactly how I do things and I still remain pretty lean all year round. I'm also doing a lean bulk series on my channel.
Looking jacked bro!
Thank you brother! Your videos are great and I enjoy watching them!
PMdre Fitness i was wondering when should i cut and when should i bulk? Im 170cm and 70kg and around 18% bodyfat but my muscles are not that visible, should i be on a cut so i can get more definition on my muscles? If so, if im on a cut does it mean i cant gain muscle while cutting?
You should slim down to 9%-10% body fat and see what you're working with muscle mass wise. Its hard to notice your gains or muscle definition when your body fat is high. You can gain muscle on a cut but you either would have to be a newbie lifter, "enhanced" lifter or be the case of muscle memory after a long hiatus (which has happened to me). If you're a natural experienced lifter you will have a hard time packing on muscle during a cut since your going to be in a caloric deficit. PictureFit has topics on this as well.
PMdre Fitness hmm so i guess i should just do cardio and diet and not lift much since i wont be able to gain muscle on a cut sadly
Omg this is exactly what I thought and I believe it to be the BEST opinion on a beginners Workout
Bro thank you so much for making this video. Totally agree with everything you said. Good stuff
I would say bulk, newbie gains are magical. When i started i was skinny fat, so i did cut. Then i was just skinny and weak. newbie gains lost... then i did bulk but it was mehhh, not like those newbie gains that i could get.
Skinny fat as i see it should bulk first.
if you are really fat, you can cut first.
Idk, i might be wrong, but that is what i saw on myself. 😁
Marko Šurbatović - Šuki "it depends"
Marko Šurbatović - Šuki what would consider as newbie, someone who's never touched any sort of weights before in their life, or ?
Max4Z Newbie gains are gains that you get from first time tuching weights and working out for about 4-6 months (someone might get more). Those gains are pure musscle, and it is rappid growth. 😁
Your newbie gains don't magically leave because you cut first. Your genetic potential is set from the start, when you begin your first bulk from a cut you'll still gain strength rapidly.
Batzii ATX Never got pure newbie gains. I talk about those gains when your body is not yet adapted to the stress of the weights. Never got those gains.
I gained more muscle in 3rd year of lifting then in all other years. And that was when i channeged my workout system, so i got some boost from good programing.
Eveybody is different. For me, if i was in caloric surplus in first few months up to a year i would be much bigger, that first adaptation would work so well with bulk. Damn.
Agree with this video. I will say though that one mistake I made was listening to the "cut to 10% before bulking" crowd. I ran into a lot of problems with this as a beginner, though now its normal to do it.
I always love a good episode of ItDependsFit. I mean PictureFit.
Thank u for all these wonderful video. All the information u share is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your kind words!
I’m opting for a lighter bulk as I get into workout out regularly. My thought behind it was to ensure my body had everything it needs to grow and take advantage of the newbie gains and then keep steady once that tapers off.
Or is that wishful thinking? I wasn’t even going to think about cutting until I felt like I had a substantial amount of muscle built.
Great advice, I love all of your videos. You could have mentioned that fat cells are their own endocrine gland (they can release estrogen which goes against trying to build muscle). Other hormones can be released by fat cells too but, in the case of building muscle, this would be the important one. Also, I am interested in what education you have as this career field interests me greatly! If there is a video mentioning this then please link it. Keep up with your video format, it is very easy to follow
I don't, but my background is Kinesiology.
Im cutting right now, your video helped with What i should do next, Well Done!
Very well put. Great vdo!
2 years ago I began running and eating less and lost 70 pounds but on summer 2017 (weighing @148) I felt like adding some muscle would be about time, today I've been bulking for 5months and 3 weeks, (Dec 31st is my last day bulking) I've gained 30 pounds and I'm quite excited to lose 20 pounds to show my gains and feel more comfortable. By the way I'm 16
When i first started working out i was at a mere 54 kg weight. I started working out using mass gainers and eating every one and a half hour. I started to gain weight and reached my peak weight of 75 kg. Afterwards i had the goal to shed as much fat as possible with minimum muscle loss. I am currently at 63 kg weight with a fairly decent muscle mass and a decent looking body. Never felt better.
This is the best video for beginners. When I first started working out a year ago I didn’t know what to do so I just started cutting while learning machines and free weight exercises. So many TH-cam channels get way too into a topic without actually answering anything. Thank you for actually having an answer!
This video answered it all thank you 🖤
I began on a bulking period and didn't really saw any muscles until 6-7 months so it really depends on if you want to show off your muscles early or later.
Love picture fit ❤️
❤
This is a nice confidence boost. I've been going to the gym for 5 months so far and have gone from 64Kg to 75kg and what has been mentioned in the video is what I have been doing minus the cut becuase I'd love to reach 80kg which would be 20kg heavier than what I was at uni 😂
You've explained this better than anyone else on TH-cam thankyou I'm glad I've started cutting first 😂
Do both- half to 1 hour of cardio early in the morning(HIIT is recommended, but not mandatory) and 1 and a half to 2 hours of weights in the afternoon/evening . Make sure you have about 1 to 2 days of rest per week. I do a high slow carb, medium protein ,low fat breakfast. Half carb, half protein lunch (again low fat), and a high protein low carb low fat dinner. Intermediate snacks would be either fruit, or oatmeal bars, but don't eat too much of them. You can have 1 cheatmeal per week(litteraly everything you want, but only one meal of 1 day for the whole week). Its tough but you get used to it after a week or so . works for me like a charm. And its really better to train two times a day for a shorter duration than to give it all you got at once in the end of the day in my opinion.also, I find the twice a day routine quite appealing, because you can make your exercises more intense because of the lower duration. I don't calorie count, I just calculate macros. My favourite cheatmeal would be a 150 gram pack of peanuts- simple, but I really crave fat after a week of low fat meals lol. And still its "good" fats.
Been cutting from since when I started, seen amazing results for the first three months, thought might have kinda plateaued for the last month. But that's okay, don't wanna look too muscular anyway.
very good! hopefully you will grow bigger and bigger as a channel
Awesome video bro. I also agree at the beginning you said it depends and that is true it depends on the person what I do and what I intake on food will react differently on somebody else. So even though i might dirty bulk it doesnt create a tummy for me cause i have a fast metabolism and im in the gym 5 days a week. My body reacts positive to weights and all i do is stay cut at 190lbs at 5'9 and 40 years old. I have always had an athletic body whether i work out or not.
I just started working out and I feel I’m gaining muscle really fast 😀
i Started 3 months ago as skinny fat (now i must say i was not THAT "fat"), the first thing i did was bulk and i couldn't be happier. I had gotten a bit bigger (mostly my pecs and shoulders) to the point where people i hadn't seen or a while were surprised and gained around 20 pounds in 2 months. At this point i didn't look so fragile and skinny anymore since i had "some" muscle (as much as you can get in just 2 months). For me it is honestly so motivating seeing growth first, now i can slowly cut for a good base before i really start ( and this time while looking more ripped ). Also i kinda fucked up my 3rd month because i made a mistake in my calories so nothing happened during that time.
I'm on the same boat right now wish me luck 😷
Very good reasons. Rational explanation.
Literally best explained video !!
I was bulking for a week but after i saw this im gonna cut
I started with cutting and it was the best decision I could have made. I saw progress (fat loss) and gained some muscle. As many people did I started working out to look attractive for girls and they don't care whether or not you can bench a lot. The only thing they care about is the abs, which I got during my cut, so It kept me motivated and as I slowly stopped seeing gains I decided to bulk.
How long did it take u to see cutting results??
@@neymadnessproductions5739 usually about two months but its good to increase workout intensity because results slow down my friend
I really enjoyed the animation. Great style 👍🏻.
Thank you soo much I needed this!
Glad to help!
Cut first by cardio, (boosts metabolism and endurance) then be able to bulk however you like in a less challenging aspect.
Let me guess....it depends
I absolutely love that all these videos include "it depends"
Very informative for a vid that is less than 5 minutes. Thanks!
My pleasure!
I have to disagree here. The newbie stage can be much more beneficial in terms of progressive overload and muscle growth when lean bulking or maintaining, and if a newbie starts off cutting muscle gains aren't gonna be that visible either cause the rate of muscle growth, although much faster than an advance lifter, won't be as noticable and the decrease in overall weight will make them feel skinnier.
The newbie stage is great and not taking advantage by cutting is a waste in my opinion. I don't think one should ever bulk when begginer, cause it's usless fat gain, but a maintenance phase or slight surplus will do the trick, and they might even recomp very well at maintenance. Unless we're talking about a fat individual, maintenance would be the ideal.
BTW I still don't think is necessary for a begginer to track calories, but if they where to do it this is my humble opinion. Cheers!
Performance Fitness I agree. As a beginner, one should focus on one thing at a time. Initially, that thing will be to become familiar with the lifts. Behavioral change takes time, and I would even recommend a beginner to not worry about drastically changing their initial diet too much from the get go. Trying to thrust yourself into a fitness-centered world will be overwhelming if someone does it all too quickly.
Eat how you've been - which is probably to maintain - and simply put on mass. Once you get more experienced, then you can start worrying about the science of nutrition.
One step at a time.
Totally!
The newbie benefits are still there even in a cut and also still there when they decide to start bulking. It is a matter of potential limit, with factors such as myostatin in play. It's not simply because they haven't lift before.
I respect your opinion and you do have some valid points, still I recommed my athletes to keep doing what they are doing and slowly start changeing the quality of their foods before start thinking about calories, stuff like getting enough protein, limited amount of processed foods, quality veggies, etc. Then, maintenance will be a good place to start for recomping easily and getting strong
If you're talking about athletes, then that's another matter. I wouldn't consider beginners athletes.
I am bulking all the time and still I don't get fat💪
Mr. Mackey your bulk is good aka leanbulk
Mr. Mackey same here
Nice.
Mr. Mackey damn u have a high metabolism, i have a low metabolism so its easy for me to gain weight easily sadly, because i wanna cut
Mr. Mackey It depends.
Once again, I love your channel! And I agree, from experience guys.. Cut first then bulk. My video suggestion is for you to do a "beginner vegan weight loss Or bulking video"
Perfect idea of newbie gains and that is something to consider when lifting that it comes fast but slowly you will see less results without looking into the diet and exercise more deeply that can fit your lifestyle and goals.
Yep!
Let me guess it depends
from 53 to 59 kg in 6 weeks!
Nice!
PictureFit bro i got from 53 to 5kg in 2 and a half weeks just by drinking banana peanut butter oats shake and eating as much as i can im normal not too skinny neither bulk

Almost done with my bulk, went from 137 to 158 over the summer in 4 months, averaging 1 pound per week ish, gonna cut around 162
how did it go?
Yay! Other picturefit video for beginners!
-ALongSkinnyNerd
MultiGreenman123 Who has time for that though? I can’t eat food for a whole eight hours a day.
Then this video doesn't apply to you, sadly.
As a long skinny person you need to eat a LOT. Not bulking first would be stupid in your case. In fact, anyone would experience better results if they bulked first, but as implied in the video, you gotta get things right. (Motivation, technique etc).
Anyways, if you're 6'4" and male and weigh like 160lbs, make sure you eat like 6000kcal a day during the newbie phase. The "eat 3500 calories a day to gain weight" online calculators don't apply to you.
Yep, as Bajsmannen said, you fall into the hard-gainer category. Focus should be bulk first. Even agreed to an extent on bulking first if some of the more important factors are in order. Then again, we're treading away from the "beginner" aspect of the video.
Bajsmannen Storpung hahaha han sa "som bajsmannen sa..." skoj
Thank you guys so much!

Well, for skinny or skinny fat guys, I believe that (lean) bulking first is the best option. And my explanation to this is that having some more muscles on you, it's far easier to cut and therefore lose bodyfat. As for guys with higher bodyfat percentage, I think cutting first is better.
Sage GR yes i think so
Good point on the added mass and fat loss. However, research is starting to show that the calorie burn difference isn't all too significant.
Sage GR There is no such thing as being "skinny fat" that is called being "weak"
Dantick09 ok hard ass
@@Dantick09 skinny is weak tho.. like I'm so weak and I'm doing bulk
Wow these are awesome!
Thank you man for that❤
You did not mention the effect body fat has on testosterone. I read that reducing fat (let's say from 20% to 12%) gives you more testosterone, which results in more muscle gains. True or bullshit?
Insignificant in the big picture.
Well if you are talking in these numbers (20% body fat are not very fat people...) it is insignificant, but with obese individuals the transformation of testosterone into estrogen is a real issue (and yes it happens in fat tissue) which leads to "man boobs" and other issues
Keep your cholesterol levels In a healthy range and your test leaves should be good.
I read that low body fat levels also decrease testosterone significally
Here we go again with “it depends” just give a straight answer!
Why so mad when a complete answer is given? The reason I like this channel is because of the science background precisely, I'll rather see a 5 minute video with proper reason than watching tons of 2 min video with guys just talking with their "own" experience.
@@theoneitself some people don't really care why, although I do, I still think it's best to put the conclusion first, then explain why that is, so people uninterested why can just click off.
Thanks this was really helpful
This was helpful
Great video with solid information :) However I personally think that one should never stop trying to progress in the gym. If one is satisfied with the current physique what's the point in going to the gym? I think that will lead to demovation so I'll always strive for more gains and new PR's even though I will never be a bodybuilder. Great recommendations for beginners though :)
Maintenance is a good reason to keep going to the gym. I think not everyone is interested in always getting stronger or bigger.
Good points nonetheless!
Based Exo to maintain staying fit ?
Based Exo I'd start doing other stuff after a while. Like hard calistenics positions and such. I'd probably combine it, but I'd probably do less pure lifting once my muscles are well developed. I'm not planning on being super big, just defined.
My motivation for going to the gym is to stay in shape for ACTUAL sports - and I am not talking Golf or Softball. I am a 54 year old man who still plays basketball with guys who are 20 to 30 years younger than me. I don't need to get bigger. I am already the strongest guy on the court because all those young fools on the court have not figured out that they can improve their game by getting stronger in the gym. They think playing basketball is all they need to stay in shape. If I was a skier, I would go to the gym so I could have more strength to control myself on the slopes. If I was a soccer player, I would be going to the gym to magnify by explosiveness with squats, deadlifts, etc. If you are into body building that is fine, but take up MMA or something else, even a puss sport like soccer, so you actually have a purpose for all those hours you spend in the gym.
Let me guess... it depends?

So pretty much all of my high school life up to senior year, I've basically been bulking for a good 4 years because my metabolism is very slow and so I eat and lift with no cardio, and got up to 260lbs, but now this year I'm cutting slowly I started June @ 245lbs and currently September now @ 207lbs and looking very good.
It... DEPENDS! Is that your catch phrase?😀
Me : What’s your name?
PictureFit : it depends
Aymen Salmoun it actually do depends - do you mean his YT name or his actual name? Or maybe his last name? It depends
i was really confused wether to bulk first or cut but this vid really made me clear my mind my fat levels are not too high but still alot and like he said if i bulk ill just gain more fat my muscle levels are really high and i have abs they just wouldnt show because of the fat so i think its great what he said and after i cut and become skinny shredded ill bulk and become big
I just relize my diet was wrong....thnk tho...your video help me alot how bulking n cutting work...
I started at 1.85cm 95kg (20% BF and 45kg of muscles)
I am now 4 weeks into gym. I only drink water, go 5-6 times a week in the gym and I only make a deficit of 200-400kcal a day. After 1 month now I can see much improvements with my muscles and lost around 5kg. (I think i lost more than 5kg fat because the muscles build up while losing fat and I had times before where I lost 15kg within few months wirhout sport but got very skinny). I am extremely motivated and my mindset is strong now and I am so happy to see more future results. In 2 months is next body scan with all my measurements and seeing all the improvements in the mirror and on paper is keeping me motivated. Stay strong guys 💪
Girl :do you love me?

Well, Fucking thank YOU! Received the message clear, understandable and straight 🙌🏻
Good stuff i started going to the gym last week for the first time ever. And before that i did cardio training for like 3 months. I would consider myself a slim guy but i still have a bit of belly fat so what i did was. I started eating better more chicken and less chips soda and junk food and i feel better.
