transitioning from a cut to an AAS bulk?

[AlphaMaleDawg]

yes I cant afford to gain much/any fat at all since the cycle will be in april and summer is coming up. I just want to gain more lean mass with this cycle. I was thinking 250 calorie increase every 7 days, in the form of mostly carbs

A 250 cal weekly increase would be good. My last lean bulk, I gained 19 lbs and only went up in bf% 1-2%. I accomplished this by timing my carb intake...I would do 3 days in row low carbs (~150-200g) and then have a carb up (refeed) day where I ate around (400g) carbs. The low days I would have carbs for breakfast, pre, and pwo...the rest of the meals contained a lean protein and fat w/ some veggies. During the refeed day I ate carbs w/ protein in every meal except my last meal. It worked for me and I am going to try it again mid summer. The key is 3 low carb days in a row and then a refeed day, then repeat. I also had success saving my big muscle groups (back and legs) for my refeed days.

I like this idea. I have never done any sort of carb cycling before. What is your height and weight out of curiosity, so I can plan the amount of carbs if I do something similar?

currently 5'-10", 210 lbs @ 13% BF (just finished a bulk cycle). Last summer (when I ran this diet) I was 181 lbs @ 8-9% BF and ended my cycle at 200 lbs @ 10-11% BF. Note: I primed before this cycle, which is why I had great results. Marcus has a great thread on "the prime" if you are interested, try the search function.

btw, did your calories remain constant regardless of whether it was a high or low carb day? Meaning on low days, you make up for it by adding more protein and fats? And does it matter what day it is as far as your workout schedule goes? like do you make sure to work out on high carb days only or something?

You still starting this sunday?

You mind posting up what a normal days diet is going to look like for you?

You and I are basically going for the same thing, Im just about 3 weeks behind you.

Im 6' 205lbs with another 10lbs to lose or so before I start but I have everything ready.

[AlphaMaleDawg]

I am going to do glutes but might experiment with delts sometimes. I forget the size of the needle for glutes but it's the correct one to use to hit that area. I think its 23.5 gauge maybe?

I like to keep my cals around 3000-3300 on low carb days and around 3500 on my refeed days. This is something that you are going to have to experiment w/ and findout how your body reacts. I try to save legs and back for my refeed days.
