Hi,
I’m 5’8”, 190 lbs, bfp less than 15%. I’m currently doing a mini-cut for 6-8 weeks. After this, I’m doing a regular bulk again for 12-16 weeks. During this bulk, in order to do a productive bulk during this period and also preserve my leanness, would you jump back to a high-calorie diet right sway or should I slowly increase calories?
Also, would you incorporate low-carb/calorie days during rest days maybe later in the bulk cycle when the calories are higher?
Please, no sassy comments. If you don’t want to help, that’s fine lol.
You are stupidly jacked. You also grew an inch in a year: that’s awesome!
Honestly, with the results you have, you have a handle on things. Why not just keep doing what’s been working?
For myself: nutrition supports training, not the other way around. So I wouldn’t need to jump into high calories straight away because I wouldn’t have that much demand.
I’d include low-carb 6 days a week, and just have 1 carb meal per week
Last year after my cut, I was so dry and jacked and had a visible six-pack and veins but wasn’t “big” (enough). I expect to look the same after my cut I know what works for me in terms of cutting but in terms of bulking and staying as lean as possible, I still need to work on that. I’ve yet to find the sweetest spot for me.
Would that many low-carb days help me gain muscle at all?
Yes. Start by adding 200cals. When growth stalls add another 200 and so on. The fastest wat to get fat after a diet is just ramping up cals to a big caloric surplus.
