Yes, but you would probably lose most of the muscle from the bulk month during the cut month.
i had once read an article with a 2 week bulk followed by a 2 week cut. for the bulk,u eat 2 times the amount of maintence calories and on cut ,half the calories
You can do anything you want, but my trainer is against it because newly acquired muscle is the first to go. It sounds to me like you would go nowhere. Bulk for a year and then cut for three months, or bulk for two years and cut for three months.
daddy- can u explain?
Re: Re: Re: bulking/cutting
Well, you would definately lose some muscle during the cut, so which muscle would be lost first.
Oh, by the way TCD, my IQ is 164

say u gain 5 pounds,how much of would be lost?
Re: Re: Re: Re: bulking/cutting
Yeah, usually as a natural you stand to drop some muscle. Usually, not always.
In fact, given regular refeeds around training it is very possible to add muscle periodically.
But it is quite dependant upon the "good dieting strategy" i referred to in the previous post.
Out of a possible?
I got a 128 out of a possible 157, which is well above average.

Ummm....did you miss the "out of a possible 157" part of my post?
Of the test i did, the maxmimum score available for anyone was 157.

Due to his amazing IQ, I agree with TCD.
In fact, I have recently let go of the bulk/cut approach long term. I will do this occassionally, as it is quite effective, but I am not on to a continual "recomposition" where my bulk and/or cut may last a day, or a few weeks.

so , i should give it a try ( 2 month bulk, 1 month cut)? im on a cut right now.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: bulking/cutting
Typically yes, but with the proper repartitioning agents, it is not necessary any more.
I have been dieting for 11 weeks.
Have dropped 20 lbs.
Have lost 4 1/2 inches on my waist.
Have gained strength. And,
Have added muscle.

I most certainly do.
Just try keep your bulks controlled as far as calories go to keep fat accumulation minimal - refer to it more as a "gaining phase". During this time, expect anything from 5-7lbs weight gain from retaining food (which you'll drop most of when you start eating less when dieting) and of the rest, aim for about 8-10lbs of quality mass. You should manage this by aiming to add like 0.5lbs a week. So control calories to do so.
And for your cutting, control weight loss to ensure minimal muscle loss, so amend calories so you lose about 1.5lbs per week max. 1lb is right about on the money, but as you get leaner don't expect this to keep up. And do regular refeeds - about once a week if you're around the 12-15% region, and more frequently if you're leaner - you decide how frequent depending on when you need them. Keep them clean and do them around training - but before training don't gorge on carbs or you may feel heavy and lethargic and end up having a mediocre workout. Gorge aftwards if anything.
Oh, and don't diet for more than about ten weeks at a time. After ten weeks, take a week "off" where you gradually increase calories to about 200kcals over maintenance and sit there for a few days before beginning to adjust calories back into deficit. This should allow some metabolic reset (to some degree).
And, um...Yeah.
Well, I will show my ignorance on this. What the heck are those
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: bulking/cutting
