Hi. Just got done with a 151-day cut that started May 13th. Gone from 89kg > 75kg, 14kg/30lbs lost. Still got some fat that I'd like to lose and abs aren't visible, but I don't think I've got that much muscle left to cut down to.
This is my first time bulking correctly. For two years I basically just hit the gym with no program(up until January this year) and no knowledge on nutrition. I now know all about macros, protein requirements, 300-500 caloric surplus etc. However since this is my first time bulking I've got a few questions:
1. How long should I bulk for/What would a desirable end-goal weight be when adding muscle? (around 14% bf now)
2. How many calories should I be eating? I'm 18 y/o, was cutting at 1700, and am average activity-wise. Only real sport is lifting.
3. How much protein should I be getting daily and what's the best amount to be getting in a post-workout meal?
thanks folks

1. Be in a surplus as long as possible while managing body comp. Faster is definitely not better. You're young and a great place to grow, take advantage of it . Make it 10-12 months if you can.
2. Will be individual dependant.,use a calculator as a starting point and adjust on a weekly basis with trial and error. Aim to gain 2-3 lbs a month at most.
3. 165 a day for you min is a start. Post workout I'd priotize most of your daily carbs + 40-50 g of protein
