I always looked at bulking as October-April, then may and June cut up, stay lean as long as its beach season ( usually June-September).

prepare to read! I usually go 12wks with anything seems to be sufficent. During a
bulk you should keep the cardio down to 1-2 times a week if any. post your diet
and your routine. Lots of rest during a bulk and proper amounts of protien.
