Feedback on Split+exercises

The thread debates whether an 18‑year‑old male weighing 179 lb with 14‑16 % body fat should cut weight or focus on muscle growth. Contributors argue that at his training age and body‑fat level, a lean‑out would sacrifice potential hypertrophy. They recommend staying in a modest calorie surplus, emphasizing compound lifts and progressive overload. The consensus is to build size and strength now and consider cutting only after several years of consistent training.
