    Hello and welcome, Emrey.

    I guess it depends on what your goals are. If you're just trying to get bigger (arms and chest), I'd keep bulking. Winter is coming, anyway. Get huge and then consider a cut, if you want, in the Spring. That seems to be a common thing, anyway.

    Good luck!

    So do a slow bulk. Approximately 250 calorie surplus per day. And lift heavy, using a proven lifting program.

    Bulk, then cut. Cutting then bulking would defeat the purpose. Have a ground base to work off of

    Have a weight goal in mind. Bulk up eat lots of carbs and calories hit the weight goal then cut down on the calories and carbs, not completely cuz u still need those to burn fat, then cut and lift a bit lighter weights but increase reps
