Do you have to have a peroid of Maintenace between your cut and then your bulk? This will be my first bulk, but I wanted to start in October and I am not finished cutting. Should be at a comfortable fat % October 1st.
Thanks,

Well, if you slowly add back calories, you'll have a few weeks where you're near maintenance cals. I don't think you have to consciously go "I'm going to maintain for 2 months before I bulk."

Thank you for the incite. I would have like to had a maintenance period, but it is not going to work out on this cycle. Hopefully next year.
