Hello Peeps,
Is there an ideal cycle between bulking up/cutting down?
I have gotten down to the leanest I have ever been in adult life and have a definite six pack starting to show through... FINALLY!!!
I want to gauge opinion on what makes the ideal time to cycle between bulking up and adding additional muscle mass and cutting down the BF% again?
My own personal goals are:
I have been cutting for 2 months now and my fat loss seems to have slowed and I am wondering if I should look at switching back to a calorie surplus to pack on more muscle for a month or two.
Then got to thinking is there an optimum ratio/cycle for cutting Vs bulking?
any thoughts?

My own personal goals are:
- put on 20-30lb of good quality muscle (confidence/vanity)
Massively increase strength (good power to weight is essential for sports I enjoy)
very lean single digit body fat levels (confidence/vanity)
Massive cardio endurance (essential for long distance triathlons/martial arts)
