Guys this is such a great site. I have been lurking for about 9 months now and have started to want to post. I was wondering if you think I should cut now? I have been lifting since Feburary 07...I think it time to cut. Im 6'3 215lbs.
10 pounds in 20 weeks, i'd say that's about perfect bro.
THis is ridiculous?!I can't help but think that the advice you are getting from these boards are just making you fat. When you "Cut" now, or whatever, you will create a deficiency in calories which will in turn slow down your metabolism even more and can cause you to actually gain weight..
a clean bulk that you are suggesting would take much longer than a bulk and cut cycle.I would probably suggest only putting on lean muscle mass without all the fat, and doing cardio several times a week. Regardless of what a lot of bulkers say, cardio is not "the enemy of muscles" unless you do
1. ridiculous amounts (more than 45 minutes+ of intense aerobic a day)
2. Don't have a proper diet
I promise you, you won't turn into a bean pole by incorporating (much needed) cardiovascular excercises.. You were in a better position before because you could have started to slim down while maintaining the muscle mass you had. The muscle you gained is either very minimal or distracted by the new gut.
Bulking then cutting is not the only way to get your dream body and I swear you can do it without gaining a ton of fat and stunting your metabolism when you suddenly stop the crazy calorie intake...

I think its simply stupid to think you have to put on fat in order to gain muscle, when you think about it.simply stupid when you think about it
