How to get leaner muscle/visible abs? Cut or bulk?
I’m between 5’6 and 5’7. The first photo I’m underweight and about 110 but wasn’t lifting at all at the time. The second photo I’m about 121 having lifted consistently for over a year now. I’ve put on good mass and I feel like I have a decent shape but just not a lot of actual muscle or ab definition. I’ve been doing ab workouts but I feel like nothings really doing much.
Should I cut down to more make the muscles I’ve built pop more? I’m afraid of cutting down too much and just being skinny and small like I was before and not looking lean.
