When do you decide to cut after bulking?
So I'm new to the whole cutting and bulking thing. I used to be 190ish and got down to 149. While I was happy losing that much weight 149 at 6 feet looked pretty weird. So I started bulking. I'm now about 170 pounds and thinking about doing a cut. I was just wondering when you guys decide to stop bulking and start cutting.
