Can someone point me to a discussion of good lengths for cut + bulk cycles? (or just create some discussion here :D)

Searches and FAQs didn't help me

Hey guys, quick question. I stand all day at my job, and the day after I do legs my quads hurt like hell standing up. Do you think this is just an annoyance or could it be affecting my recovery?

Actually, it's just magic.

Thanks, makes sense. Willpower won't be a problem for me, since I pack my food and don't get home until night. (Actually it will, but I'll have no choice but to push through :D)

Thanks.

Hey guys, quick question.

When you're done bulking and ready to cut, is it a good idea to eat at maintenance for a week, or is it okay to go straight to a deficit? It seems like dropping your...

So, it's not a good idea to mess with the formula too much? I put the deadlift in with push because of the legs, and shoulders in with pull because it seemed isolated enough that it wouldn't matter....

Hey guys, this is my first real bulk, I'd really appreciate either some advice or a thumbs-up on this routine:

PUSH
squats, 4x8
deadlifts, 4x8
flat bench press, 4x8
cable flies, 2x12 (because...

The more fat you have, the more of your excess calories goes towards fat.

Meaning, 8%-13% cycles would be better.

Well I'll take experience over theory any day lol. How often do you do it? Every few days or only when you plateau? And are you at all endo? (Is that 45% bf in your sig for real?!)

Well crap, I did it last night (and then did HIIT, so it's not as bad). Oh well, now I know

So I came across this article which lists a bunch of simple carbs under the allowed foods.



Is this too good to be true?

Exactly. So I had 115g carbs, but I counted 80 (done automatically for me by my program--I have a choice of what number to look at, i'm not overthinking it)



Fair enough, I'm gonna switch to...

If I consume massive amounts of vegetables a day (say 2.5lbs of carrots), should I be counting the net carbs in them? I checked out the package and it said there were 9g real carbs per 2g of fiber....

Then you have no idea how much one human can eat at once :D

I used to eat like crazzyyyy

personally I'd say, right after WO and before bed, an apple is ok (maybe) but you need other carbs also. apples (fruit) contain mostly frucose which replenishes liver glycogen but not muscle...

just like any cheat, keep eating. you need your protein (and other stuff). some rice and chicken (or whatever you eat) won't hurt you nearly as much as 8 pop tarts.

I wasn't (completely) being a smartass when I posted this. We can debate with articles from the internetz and such what happens "theoretically", but most people from this forum agree...

Definately, I eat like 2 pounds of them a day :p Glad I could help

And good luck to you.

Fo sho. Eat up son. Yolks are fine.
