    switching between bulking and cutting

    hey guys, i was wondering what would be the best approach to bulking and cutting....does one constantly continue bulk cycles till he/she feels they have gained enough muscle of satisfication then cut the fat, then maintain gains, or should you bulk up then cut down then bulk up then cut down, etc.... untill you are happy then maintain gains?

    sorry if you feel its a dumb question, im just interested

    basicly yes. you bulk up and wen you get big you cut. your calorie intake is so high while bulking you wont be able to do both sadly.

    Make sure you have a good pct to help maintain gains.

    You can do both in a cycle. This is the best way for me.

    if you feel uve gained to much fat then yes u can switch to a cut

    but IMO being on gear, and training hard your fat gains are usually very minimal, and ur muscle gains are pretty amazing

    so usually msot people just tend to bulk until theyve acheieved a size they feel they should cut at

    if you gaina alot fo fat while on steroids then your probably not cycling correctly, and theirs oemthing you need to fix

    being on gear and training hard has nothing to do with gaining fat. if you are not dieting correctly you will gain alot of fat on cycle, regardless how hard u train.
    if u gain alot of fat on AAS then ur not dieting correctly, and thats what needs to be fixed.

    think of building your body like making a statue you create it by bulking up, then scrap off the peices that take off the definition means losing the weight and adding higher reps

    going back and forth is the best way to keep getting bigger if your competing and doing shows which is why your cutting...to do a show. but if your not competing do a lean bulk until you don't want to get much bigger, then do a cut and then from then on recomp...thats what i did and thats why i was able to put on so much muscle in little time because i bulked for 2 and a half years then cut. i was actually ignorant about diet so i was eating clean but a WAYYY more than i thought (500g of protein, 400g of carbs, 100g of fats)...(never weighed my meat lol) i was eating but hey my ignorance worked in my favor. i ended up getting up to 220 which from then did a cut to 190 which i was just shredded...im now 200 @ 9-10% bf...just make sure when you cut that your on a cycle so you keep all your muscle and maybe gain a little
