Bulk/cut cycles are a meme.
You recomp until you hit single digit bf%, then eat at maintenance watching your macros.

You need a deficit to cut into the fat stores.

>>40978553
that's called a cut you stupid faggot

>>40978570
You don't build muscle on a cut.

God damn you are one stupid fucker, if you are eating at a deficit it is a cut

post your routine i bet it's really shitty. also keep track of macros and make sure you get at least 1g protein per body weight.
eat at a defecit of 100 cal and burn more doing cardio or something.

People don't wanna admit to their own mistakes, OP probably wasn't consistent with his workouts, or created his own shitty routine. Fucking IDIOT.

i've cut down already, im just saying that any amount of caloric surplus is instantly stored in my gut

Yes but if its a point where u look like u have a gut then u are too fat. You probably cut down to 15% bodyfat so obviously the next few % you put will start showing.

honestly majority of here get trolled into bulking because "er mah gerd u have nothing to cut for" but if you start FAT AS FUCK (even skinnyfat 20-25% bf) you CANNOT BULK! YOU ARE ALREADY OBESE

Cut down to 10% and when you go on a "bulk cycle" your PEAK BULK should be at 15% and it also should take like fucking 8-10 months, then you can again cut for 2-4 months down to 10%- Rinse and repeat.

Cut to 10-12%. Slow bulk back up to 15-16%. EAT A TON OF PROTEIN AND DO SOME KIND OF CARDIO AS WELL TO USE FAT AS FUEL. Lift with maximal weight and lower reps to trick body into thinking it needs to keep your muscle. Stay at same strength as you cut back down. Repeat process until you hit genetic potential.

Then go on gear after that I guess but you should be a little more muscular than normal and still shredded.
