Id prolly keep cutting up for the summer and then start bulking towards the end

[mwolffey]

a nice lean bulk imo...do what you want though bro

[LatinoPR]

Bulk,.... a good strong bulking cycle...!

[Wasted_2k]

i want some more size really however dont wanna put more fat on my stomach,thats why been cutting get the abs out atm

how does a lean bulk work? i eat really clean already just with deficient calories trying burn fat 4 days lifting 2 days cardio i was thinking cut fat then bulk but not sure if bulking first would be better option?

Go to the diet forum and read the stickies. There should be one about clean bulk diets.

Lean bulk now, cut later.

That is if you want to be bigger, if not, then cut now.

~SC~

[lucabratzi]

yeah if u want more size ur goin to lean bulk...but i would cut...once u cut down u look alot better, and sometimes appearing bigger...

is a lean bulk high protien lowish carbs low fat??

say 3300 calories which is what for my body weight i need to add mass according to one of those diet calculators
194 protien 164 carbs 64 fat??

my main concert is my fatty mid section atm last time when i started bulking i got a fat chin quick also hence why atm still unsure on whether to yet might try get b/f below 10% then go for a good clean bulk

It summer time. You could easily bulk from the leaness you are but would you really want to go into beach season looking chubby and flubby?

if you cut up there'd be no reason not to take your shirt off man. CHicks dig a lean dude. and if you lean up more it looks like you'll have a decent ammount of muscle poppin' through.

[Wasted_2k]

still carnt get on the diet forum,i need soomething good before bed with no carbs slow disolving cottage cheese is my current but it makes me heave i just put it all it mouth and swollaw lol any thing else worth doing??

[eatit]

cottage cheese with a bit of whey actually tastes good if you use chocolate flavour. So does CC and cocoa powder or cinnamin and sweetener.

[eatit]

you could also just use a casein sourced protein powder.

[eatit]

damn, I don't mean to spam but now that I think of it you could even use FF mozerella or any other cheese for that matter.

[stayinstacked]

def. bulk!!!

[eatit]

But if he bulks he'll have all that much more fat to diet away. Longer time spent dieting = no fun.

[Wasted_2k]

think i wanna loose the gut first its weird cos carnt pinch much on arms/legs etc just skin is flabby around my stomach ive always hoped it would go as im still growing but its not

is cardio twice a week to little atm i do
monday-chest/shoulder
wednesday - back
friday tris/bic
sat legs

and cardio on off days i was thinking do it after a work out too but heard that can be not so beneficial??

[industywetrusty]

I am in a similar situation, I except I am taller than you. I am 21 and I weight 185, my height is 6'1. I like cutting more, I like to be ripped outta my mind plus as I cut I still gain and in my opioion I think it looks better and I still feel agile...

[Wasted_2k]

sorry to bring back up a year old thread but can i have some advice on the lean bulk kinda diet,few months after my last post mum got taken with cancer but after long wait we finally have the all clear just in time for my sister to drop a sprog lol.
so have not done any training for over a year but im itching to get back into it now,id say ive lost most muscle i gained,however i have an active job and havent yet turned to a fat slob,

whats the best way to get back into things as i feel lost atm,best to start with cardio or get back on weights/what sort of sets length sessions

also my diet has been not been bad as i dont really eat shit but id say its been massivly lacking in protien,if i start back with 160g a day of protien straight off is this likely to cause problems

[muscle_20]

Start a new thread mate thats the best idea in the diet forum or with a picture here.

[PEWN]

i gues it is just to hard to start threads these days... .wow....
