I've been on a long slow bulk since September 2015, gaining around 1.7lb per month.
I've decided to stop, I'm now not happy with my waist. After a quick month cut, I'll start another long lean bulk0 -
I notice that 4 weeks into a bulk I begin to hate all the food I have to cram into my face. 4 weeks into a cut I begin to hate the lack of food that I am able to cram into my face.

Having said that, on balance, bulking is much more fun that cutting.0 -

what are your goals OP? Hard to give an answer without knowing. I would say that you need to set a goal weight and then stop when you get to that number....0

If you haven't bulked before I suggest you work your core and gradually begin to add more foods to your diet, and I recommend going for the clean route, better in the long run. Work your way into the bulk by gradually increasing the quantity you eat, and workout the amount of calories your body needs, take your body weight in lbs and multiply by 17. Add 500 and hit that amount of calories every day to add weight and be hyper caloric. That's the basics really.

clean has nothing to do with bulking..or anything else for that matter...0 -

I don't think he's talking about clean eating, but clean/dirty bulking, which is a function of how big a calorie surplus you have when bulking.0 -
