Bulk/cut vs recomp
I'm nearing my goal and I was wondering if someone could explain the differences to me. I see people recommending recomp when bf is still relatively high. Why not bulk and cut? Obviously not bulking at 500+ calories over maintenance but with just a couple of hundred or so that would lead to maybe a pound to pound of a half…

Bulking - increase carbs or fats?

At 2800 calories, I think I'm going to put protein at 20%. That would still put me slightly over 1g/lb body weight. However, should I increase carbs or fats? At 25% fat, I…
