This may sound stupid but I always hear a fitness comp. refering to there off season diet and routine and ther on season routine. Wouldnt' you keep the same routine year round?
Why do they have to do a off season routine?
Thanks

Off-season you wouldn't be trying to maintain a very low body fat percentage, and try gaining some muscle mass before you have to trim the fat again.
If you tried to maintain a low bodyfat year round, most couldn't gain much, if any, lean mass.
At least that's my understanding of it.

Is this the same meaning as bulking and cutting?

I would say yes, but the terms off and on season is more applicable to people that compete. They would bulk, or not train as much, off-season, and stay lean on-season.Originally posted by just doin it!
