Guest b00ker_b0y Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 any of you guys do bulking and cutting cyles? i went from 12.7 stone (12% bf) to 14 stone (16%) on a bulk, and currently cutting down now (13.9 stone - 14.8% bf current). You recon its worth just aiming for lean gains as i esitmate that after i cut down i would off only gained about 7lbs of lean mass in the 8 month period which seems a bit poo lol.

I would cut down to 8% if I were you, especially as its now summer time soonish. I havent trianed properly in over a year now, and it sucks so much. Used to be 175lbs at 8%. Now after a year off and eating just junk, im now 170lbs and 16%! Those two sizes are worlds appart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest b00ker_b0y Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 not realy after the slim toned look, plus i find that when my body fat is between 10 - 14% my natrual hormones are peaking and strength goes up quite nicely. Just questioning the aspect of bulking then cutting or trying to gain lean mass and minising fat? what ya think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on a cutting phase at the moment. Currently at 11.5 stone going back down to 10.5 stone this should take a week to 10 days i hope. I am after the lean toned look rather than all out muscle Im 5ft 6 so sturggle to bulk for too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest b00ker_b0y Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 10 days to lose 14 lbs is a bit dangerouse aint it? your likely to loose a more muscle to fat ratio with that? I find 0.5 to 1 lbs a week allows u to keep what u got and shrink the waist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find 0.5 to 1 lbs a week allows u to keep what u got and shrink the waist! If you were after the muscular look then yes i agree. I am lucky in the fact that i can lose and gain weight very quickly, i also have good disicpline and eat nothing but protein for those 2 weeks which shifts fat very quickly. Also upping the cv sessions to 30 minutes a day. My weight program is also strength based arther than bodybuilding so i don't have much muscle to lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 im fed up of being skinny, who says over weight people cant be healthy? even they can be healthy depends how much cardio is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I went from a feable 10st 5lbs to 12st 8lbs in just under 4 months. I'm 6ft. I now weigh just under 12st 6lbs. I can see why you want to put on weight Jazz. I have a very high metabolism. I did combnation eating throughout the day. Normally got through about 4 bannanas, pork pies, sausage rolls and tuna sandwiches. I had a Mega Mass weight gain shake morning and night without fail. I combined this with a teaspoon of the best creatine money can buy when training 3-4 times a week, cardio and weights. I did light weights in my uni room every night though. I've lost some of my bulk now due to work etc, but am looking to pick it up again for the RAF Regiment. My target is another healthy 6lbs on top of what I weigh already.

Geo Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Simple rule to gaining good lean muscle, eat clean. Cut out all junk food(Have a cheat meal once in a while), were all human. Train hard, and eat 6-8 small meals a day. You will see the pounds pack on you. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can eat what you want really, all you need to do is burn off more calories than you eat. Simple! G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
