M/28/5’8 [64kg -71kg] (1year)

I decided to slowly bulk in order to minimise fat gain. Up 7kg in just over a year. Much progress?

173cm 64-71kg Once Year

Bottom photo is latest and top photo is from 12 months ago.

Bulked from 64kg now sitting at 71kg. This is me relaxed not flexed. Should I keep bulking? Also, what body fat percentage am I sitting at? I’m thinking 14-16%

Waist-to-height ratio of 0.465 — bulk or cut?

Hey all, trying to figure out my next move and wanted some outside opinions.

My waist-to-height ratio is currently **0.465**. From what I understand, anything under 0.5 is considered "healthy," and this puts me in a fairly lean range.

A few questions:

Does it make more sense to run a lean bulk from here, or cut a bit further first to reveal more definition?

If I bulk, how far would you let WHtR climb before switching to a cut? I've seen 0.48–0.50 thrown around as a reasonable ceiling — thoughts?

Is WHtR even a useful metric to lean on here, or should I be using something else (calipers, DEXA, progress pics) to make this call?

Reason I’m asking is most of my fat is around my abdominal area

Dumbbell Flat Press 3rd set

Recently dropped the weight to work on form. Trying to stick chest out my pinching and dropping my shoulders. Also, trying to make sure elbows are at 45 degree angle. How’s is form looking?

Does my forehand look compact enough?

Recently, I changed the angle of the racket to 45 degrees during the unit turn to help with it.

I do think the tip of the racket head should be even or below my head
