    How much weight should I gain at the end of a bulk?

    Hi, this is my first bulk and im a 15 year old male. Before my bulk I weighed 135 (6 feet tall) and right now (about 2 months later) I weight 150, should I keep going or can I go ahead and cut? Thanks for any answers!

    Cut to what? Emaciation? At 6' you would need to be closer to 200 to look big/like you lift in most cases; also never wise to cut as a teen unless actually obese. Now is the best years of growth for you, eat, lift, and grow. Build the foundation now and worry about being lean after a few years (yes, years, like 3-5) and then you will have the mass.
    Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.

    5/10/16: Finally back to lifting, light but improving.

    What is this “end of bulk” you speak of?

    If you're really 15 years old, you are far from done growing brah. Keep eating plenty of food and grow, grow, grow. The weights will keep you from getting fat. You're just so young and look ripped in your avi. Don't even think about cutting.

    Absolutely!
    You're in your best years of your life to put on muscle! Take advantage of that.
    Remember, it's far harder to gain muscle than to reduce fat. Gain all you can now and worry about cutting years from now.

    Now, having said that, none of us are suggesting you go on the dirtiest, highest cal, McDonalds bulk you can think of. Still be smart; lean bulk; eat healthy, whole foods so you are gaining about 1/2 lb per week and you could bulk for years like that at your stats.

    I'll add that at 15, you've done great work and have an awesome physique; nice work bud
