When to stop Bulking?

[getbig89]

So I've been bulking with mass tabs, and will be starting PCT in about a week. I really want to cut, and I'm just wondering when it will be safe to start so that I don't lose my gains. A few have said that I need to continue the bulking diet through PCT, but I just want to make sure everything is in check.

Thanks for the help

Never! Never stop bulking, its too fun to stop!

I think 2 months post cycle of eating in a surplus, then slowly shifting into a maintenance phase, then into a cut should avoid losing your gains.

omg i hate it, there's not enough hours in the day to eat all that damn food lol.

So, I'm starting PCT Feb 17...so I should go to maintenance in April, then cut in like May?

That sounds pretty good i know you probally want to cut a bit before summer as most people do so if you feel your body can react efficently to a cut earlier you can but really just gauge your body, but id stop bulking as he mentioned about 1-2 monts after pct.

I've never done an actual strict cut before so I dunno how my body will react. And yeah I def wanna cut before the summer..or start at least..and then cut through the summer.

just start to cut around april. cut april and may so you will be ready for summer. this gives u a few more months to bulk, then 2 months to get lean

Also I have another quick question. Do I need to change much of my workout routine when I cut, or just my diet. I know the main part of it is my diet.

You may need to add more cardio as you go along. Some people will do cardio twice a day to get shredded.

maybe if i understood what you just said i would think its funny lol

when i cut, i do NOT change my routine. I just add in swimming and cardio. I still want to build muscle while cutting, just lose fat...which is hard to do. just change your diet around.

That's usually the system I use. I might cut rests shorter between sets but otherwise I just add in more cardio. Specifically fasted AM.
