Hey folks. I've been doing a bit of reading recently on two-week bulking cycles / micro-bulking.

Does anyone have any experience / thoughts on it? I'll put an article explaining basics below BUT here's the lowdown:

According to some studies, the body is most anabolic for two weeks of high caloric excess and high-levels of exercise. Once it hits two weeks that effect wears off and your body starts to gain more fat than muscle. As such returning to a deficit for a week or two will 'reset' that effect.

So, some people advocate this pattern: 2 weeks of high-calorie bulking / 1-2 weeks caloric deficit, and so on. Allegedly this maximises muscle gain and minimises fat gain.

Thoughts?

bumparoola

never heard about this before, but I observed this in myself.
over the past year, I 'relapsed' 2-3 times smoking weed for 10-15 days, never more. I would keep up my trainig, but diet went full retard, 4-5000 kcal/day, at least half of it junk.

Iwas surprised these bouts had me put on very little fat, and actually improve some lifts.

it's a little too short i think, you only start getting the negative feedback effects of overfeeding after like 3 months or so assuming your bodyfat isn't too high to begin with

you can and should be cutting more aggressively than you bulk, so you really shouldn't be spending equal time in a deficit and a surplus - you should be spending much more time in a surplus

but doing something like 2-3 months bulking, then 1-2 months cutting works great
