Thread: Football: Cut or Bulk

Coach said I need to put on more muscle mass/get stronger while also getting faster. Do I do a lean bulk or continue to cut? I was thinking that I need to do a lean bulk but I don’t want to gain too much weight. Also, is it possible to build a good amount of muscle on a cut? If that is the case then that is what I’ll do.

Thanks to anyone who answers!

Not sure why it says I’m 51 lol, I’m 16 5’8”, 215 lbs

At your height and weight, unless you have a LOT of muscle (based n your coach's directions to get stronger, I doubt it), you are carrying a lot of fat. You need to be lifting like a madman but NOT in a bulk - "lean" or not.

Ok, that is what I figured. Started my cut at 233 in February and have since cut down to 215. Just wanted to know if I needed to stay on it or not. Would lifting 2 times a day for about an hour be enough? And how much cardio would you recommend?
Thank you so much!
