I dont understand why people bulk up then cut. Lets say someone bulks up by 20 pounds. Then there gonna cut and lose that weight.
What is the point of that?

to build muscle mass, you have to eat more calories than you burn. unfortunately, along with this gained muscle mass comes a little extra fat. the purpose of cutting is to get rid of this excess fat while keeping the new muscle you put on. so you'll lose some of the weight you gained, but keep the muscle weight/mass. that's the whole point
let's say you weigh 100 pounds at 10% body fat and bulk to 120 pounds and are now at 12% body fat (this isn't realistic and is just an example). 2% 120 is 2.4. so if you go on a cut to get rid of the extra fat you put on, and get back to 10% body fat, you will end up weighing 117.6 pounds. you gained 17.6 pounds of muscle. again, this is an example and isn't realistic.Master total

I have a question regarding a mate. He's already gone from 150lb to 170 so far, once he reaches his goal weight, should he just cut or also do weights during the cutting process?
For example:
180lb 17 year old male, wanting to cut.
a) lift weights before doing cardio
b) only does cardio
Just making sure, i've already read the stickies that are important to me.
Thanks

Hmm I see. Thanks for that answer.
People workout when they bulk right? Or do they just eat a lot and not workout to risk losing calories?
Care to explain how I'm being ignorant? Look at my height and weight. I gotta bulk up big time. I aint gnna need to cut cause I'm not gonna reach the point where I'm gonna get fat.

OP do you even lift? how the **** do you think you build muscle? if all you had to do was eat to bulk then 99% of americans ( those who are obesed, no offense to everyone here) would be a buff mofo. YOU NEED TO LIFT TO GAIN MUSCLE AND CONTINUE TO LIFT WHEN YOU ARE CUTTING SO YOU DONT LOSE THE MUSCLE YOU GAINED WHILE BULKING. honestly your the dumbest op i have ever read.
/thread* Eat * Lift * Sleep *
Cutting down to 180 Lbs.
Anxious to bulk, but to fat :(
