    How Long should BULKING/CUTTING phase be?????

    Hi guys How long should a bulking or cutting phase be. Is it best to keep them short, say 2-3 months each or is it best to keep them longer ie 4-5 months? Also ive only been training nearly 10 months now, and ive put on about a stone of weight, and quite a lot of muscle. IS it time i start hitting the cardio seriously and losing that fat that ive accumulated.?

    My stats
    r.h.s all measurements are cold but flexed
    BIcep 15inch
    Forearm 12.35
    Chest 40 inch (PAthetic)
    CAlves 15 inch (never trained them-started training 3 months ago)
    Legs (ONly started training them 3 months ago)
    Waist 35 (i think thats way too big

    Bulking= until you get to your desired size, or get too fat for your liking.
    Cutting= until you get to your desired bodyfat%, or lose too much muscle.

    Good short explanation.

    Most BB's bulk for most of the year to gain quality muscle and then they cut pre contest or for the summer.
