Just keep in mind the timelines above and what your main goals is…big muscles. You’ll want to customize it to your life. What I’m going to show you is a good starting point. So you’ll want to account for that when you build out your calendar. Likewise, dieting through the holidays is a fool’s errand. If you have a beach vacation coming up, going in feeling like a fat ass prob isn’t going to lead to you having the best time. If it’s too hard or too much of a 180 from what you are doing now you’re setting yourself up to quit once life gets in the way…and it always gets in the way. You want to make this as easy as possible for yourself. The first thing you want to consider when changing your body is adherence. I’m not going to go in depth on why here, but I already did that, I’ll just hit you with the Cliff Notes: Your Bulking Calendarīefore we get into the calendar view of things, let’s revisit how long you should be bulking or cutting for to get good results.
#HOW OFTEN SHOULD I BE BULKING AND CUTTING HOW TO#
How to use these phases is all about going back to that FIRE approach and having one focus. Think of Maintenance as your nutritional rest period.Įach of these phases has a purpose in your year of gains ultimately leading to your success. It’s aimed at helping you adjust to your new body, habits and let’s your body de-stress from dieting, mini cutting and bulking. Maintenance is where calories are set where you should neither gain or lose weight. There’s also the word “Mini” in it which should be a dead giveaway as to the length of the cut. Since the drop in calories is more aggressive than a diet the timeline is a lot shorter than a diet. Now some lesser known terms I’ll be using are:Ī Mini Cut is an aggressive diet to strip away fat and get you back to bulking again. This is a less aggressive approach which means the time will be longer. Again, in the streets you’ll hear the term calorie deficit. Goal here is to increase calories to add weight in order to build muscle.Ĭutting or dieting is reducing calories with the intent to burn fat to release the sexy jacked beast underneath all the fat. In the streets you might also hear of a calorie surplus. I’m pretty sure we are on the same page with what is bulking and cutting but just to be sure, let me define what they are and a few more terms you’ll see.īulking is when calories are high-ish so you have additional calories for energy in the gym and the fuel to repair your muscles post workout. They actually work a helluva lot better than trying to do both at the same time. Workouts for the most part stay the same, but nutrition is the secret key to changing your body. The more all-in you are, the faster you’ll see results and this leads to better adherence.Īnd for you to change your body that means your nutrition needs to match your goal. The more focused the effort, the shorter duration it takes to get to the end goal. The idea behind this is to put in a little amount of money for decades so it can compound and you can retire in your 60’s.īoth scenarios have you retiring but one does it 30 years earlier. Now let’s look at the other side of the coin, people that just contribute to their 401k’s. Cutting expenses, saving like a mofo and not indulging in late night Amazon orders. The movement is called FIRE or Financially Independent Retire Early.Īs you might guess this lifestyle requires you to kinda go all in. There is a movement online of people who save 50-75% of their income so they can retire in their 30-40’s and aren’t tied down to the 9-5. So with this article, I’m going to give you a high level plan so you can mold it to fit your life and needs…while getting you to build lean muscle. Without these two the best information and the most balls-to-the-wall effort aren’t going to get you the results you want. If it’s not effort and not information so what gives? There is an overabundance of information with the internet but yet still nothing. They have been killing it in the gym for years but the growth hasn’t been there. Just about everyone wants bigger muscles. In all the conversations I’ve had with guys over the years, not being able to build muscle has always been one of the more common ones. Having one focus for a period of time allows for better progress.Always set a plan that will make things easiest for you to adhere to.
