Do I cut more before lean bulk?

[Glewin07]

Currently 168. I did cut from 169-163.8 and I believe since I am on vacation I bloated or have retained water as diet has been poor but I’m not sure if I cut more when I come back or lean bulk.

Vacation weight fluctuations are usually water, glycogen, and food volume rather than real fat gain, especially if your diet has been inconsistent for just a short period. Once you’re back to your normal routine, it makes sense to reassess your true baseline weight before making a decision. If you’re already fairly lean, a controlled lean bulk could be more productive; if you’re still holding noticeable fat, continuing a slow cut might be the better call.

tbh i wouldnt rush into cutting more yet. Vacations always mess up weight cuz of food and water retention. get back to ur usual routine, track for a few days, then decide if u still need to cut or can lean bulk.
