What is your opinion on alternating cutting and bulking every

>>38017011
retarded.

clean small bulk or do longer periods, like 3months bulk followed by a cut.

>>38017011
I guess if you have no willpower it "works" but it's still retarded

Pointless. The hormonal regulation for putting on weight would fuck up the cut, and the cutting hormones would fuck up the bulk. You'd be half assing two things getting next to no results

>>38017011
Sounds like it would fuck with your metabolism and shit... nah watta mene?

Be a man and gear up then you can add mass and lose fat at the same time. Profit.

Nice joke m8, I r8/8.

Thing is, it's not the dieting that's hard, it's just that I'm afraid of nogainz and that my lifts are going to stall real soon.

They don't go into exact detail, but basically the body's metabolic hormones (as well as a few others like sexual hormones) get changed up a bit in times of both weight gain and weight loss. This is to help maintain the body's working efficiency in times of deficit, and helps to partition nutrients to more necessary growth in times of surplus (e.g. helping direct nutrients towards muscle growth/recovery instead of filling up fat reserves).

As a result, hormones must normalize whenever the caloric numbers are switched in order to maintain metabolic efficiency, otherwise when you do something like switching back to a bulk immediately after a cut, your body is going to focus more on refilling fat stores than it is building muscle since it's been conditioned to operate in a period of deficit.

I don't know the specifics, and would like to learn more when I get some more free time, but that's my understanding. It could be total broscience, but the links in that sticky post is where I got the info
