BUT depending how long it has been since u finished ur cut, u may want to run maintenance for a little while before jumping into a bulk.
when u eat at a deficit for an extended amount of time ur body makes all kinds of adjustments. u should, when u finish cutting, run maintenance for at least a few weeks before moving to a surplus to allow ur body to get out of "diet mode" and adjust hormonally from the deficit back closer to homeostasis. personally i would stay at maintenance for a month or longer depending how lean u want to stay and how lean u have cut down to as well as from how high u actually have come from. there are a lot of variables.
how long has it been since u finished ur cut? Been on and off cutting for about a month
have u been on maintenance cals since and if so how long?
Nope
what was ur bf% before u started the cut?
id say over 20 percent
how long did u cut?
