| | Or you could do what I'm doing:
Lift 3-4 times a week (or more, depends on your energy), eat like a horse, and just run it off later 
Might sound kind of depressing (especially if you have to work with that extra fat on your body; I hate it!) but after you cut for 2 or 3 weeks, and notice bigger muscle under that fat, it's like "diamond in the rough" and you keep on going.
Then repeat. |

Then repeat. | Yeah, that's what i'm kind of thinking of doing... besides the running part :P
How long are your bulk/cut sessions usually? I am thinking 2-4 months bulk 1 month cut. |

| | | how long is really up to you. I bulk until I feel I'm too fat, then I cut until I'm as lean as I want. However, I try to plan it so I don't have to cut for ages, I don't like that, and my body doesn't either. |

| | | Well, my latest bulk was about 16 weeks long. And that was way too long for me. I'm cutting right now for another 3 weeks or so (5 weeks total) then bulk for 6 weeks and cut until I reach my goal for the summer.
I agree with Karky, if you're starting to feel pudgy, then cut. I enjoy bulking (I'm a BIG peanuts fan so bulking and peanuts is like cheat day every day) but cutting is nice to do for something different.
Also, if you're gains are slowing down, then cut for 2 or 3 weeks and take a week off then start bulking again. Anything that keeps your body guessing. | | |
