How much should I bulk and cut each cycle if I want to stay relatively lean at 6ft while natty?
>>77194964You should not be bulking if you are looking to stay lean.
>>77194968Then just how am I supposed to gain muscle
>>77194964just lift and never get fat. aint hard bro.
>>77194970by eating slightly above maintenance and lifting.
>>77194964how much runway do you have? i.e. what's your current weight and what's your target weight say 2 years down the road?
>>77194964I can only tell you what I do it's not easily reducable.The first week you lose weight take 2/3rds of the total weight loss and save that as a variable representing glycogen and water loss.Take pictures as you're nearing your leanest and examine them try to find 2 or 3 veins or stridations that are the last to show up these will be your tells to stop cutting.Add your glycogen and water variable to cut end weight then add 15 lbs that's where you'll stop bulking next time. Just repeat this cycle taking it slower on bulks.
>>77194964you've got this shit ass backwards retard-kun. As long as your lifts are progressing you are growing. if your lifts stall for multiple weeks slightly increase calories.
>>77194975I'm 147 :(Realistically I'd say I want to gain 20lbs
>>77194993you are a fucking skeleton. refer to>>77194988
>>77194993yeah you're probably gonna wanna gain at least 30, 6' 167 isn't skelly but you need a lot of muscle and very little fat to look built at that size. the good news is you have a lot of sizeyou could do something like>bulk 147 -> 175>cut 175 -> 160>bulk 160 -> 185>cut 185 -> 170>decide what you wanna do from there (trust me, you'll have a better idea by then)
