SHOULD I CUT OR BULK?

Posted by Ross Dickerson


Before deciding to invest 3-4 months of your effort in a new regime, be sure to get on the right plan!  Set realistic goals to maximise success, and don't mix up conflicting goals that will lead to disappointment and loss of motivation. 

The most common of these I hear is "I want to get bigger - increase muscle mass - and lose body fat".  Well guys this unfortunately isn't one goal.......

I would always go for Cutting when my body fat goes over about 12-15% and I am ready to lean out and get shredded, although this is just a guide.  If you are fairly new to weight training and haven't built up a lot of muscle in the past, you will gain lean muscle while cutting.  However, if you are coming from a bulk and/or you have already got high muscle mass, you won't increase it while cutting, but by losing weight slowly, you will only shed body fat, keeping all your gains.

I tend to Bulk after I have enjoyed being shredded for a while and I am ready to carry on with my long term goal of gradually gaining more muscle mass and strength, and ending up at a higher weight.  A few years back I was hitting 95Kg after my winter bulk... this year I hit 105Kg (although it varies depending on how clean/dirty I have run my bulk).  Generally I bulk for 4-5 months to gain maximum muscle mass... then back off slowly into a Cutting phase to reveal muscle gains for that well defined, lean, muscular physique.

 

The great thing about my App is that you can easily swap between Bulking and Cutting after each phase so it's easy to rotate the programs throughout the year for best results long term.  Not only that, I will guide you through the transition between each phase when it's important to change your diet slowly.

Stick with my simple formula, trust the process and you will reach your goals with a high level of success... the greatest motivator of all! 

My App makes the whole process easier and hundreds of customers who joined my App last year year are finding they have massively changed their physique, as well as their sense of wellbeing and improved mental health!
