I finished my 1st cut on Friday & am taking this wk off then starting up a 6 wk* bulk Monday (9.24);
I have up'd my calories & changed my ratios from 50/25/25 (p-c-f) to 50/30/20 (p-c-f) i know gains will come on slower with a clean bulk but i think it's definately the way to go for my first go - i'll be watching my inches, weight & bf % and i'll adjust as I go as needed, see where I'm at in 6 wks & go from there.
I'm a little anxious after doing so well on my cut, esp since my hubs is also anxious (he's very impressed with my progress & i think he's afraid to see bloated, pudgy me in two wks - as opposed to just plain bigger me)... any advise from clean bulkers on how your expierences went?...
*6 wks is tentative on progress;

Stay only 250-300 calories over maintenance and you can't go far wrong.
Personally I would eat more carbs. Carbs does not have to mean 'dirty'
Veg
Rice
Oats
Sweet potato
These are my staples, protein requirements aren't as high when you're in a calorie excess but it's personal preference.0 -
I've never bulked as I'm currently working on cutting, but would love to hear how this works for you as I do hope to get there at some point in the not too far future.0

I'm headed out tonight to get some additional necessaties - new scale (measures bf% & hydration), new lifting straps... new workout clothes - i'll track my progress on my profile if you wanna add me.0 -
I never bulked, but wanted to say good luck to you! You can do it!0

I am cutting right now. Good luck with the bulk! (I think this is the "bulk season", but I'm a terrible conformist in real life....)0
