Update on Bulking/Cutting Cycles

My regimen is always going through revisions.  It’s  like a large mass of marble – uncut and rough when you first start out, and gradually, becoming finer and more precise.  So when people ask me about what a good workout plan is, I lay out the details of what I do or would do, but I always mention that everyone should be able to infuse their own flavor or brand into what they want to do.

That being said, I’ve made some changes to the Supplement Schedule [now renamed Phase and Supplement Schedule to reflect the inclusion of phases].  I had planned to continue bulking well into June, but I’ve decided that that was simply too long of a bulking period.  The body adapts too well to routines and it’s important to keep things fresh.  I feel that with the previous schedule, both the bulking and cutting phase durations were too long and too infrequent, so I’ve decided to limit the bulking phase to about 12 weeks, and the cutting phase to 6 weeks immediately following.  This is also synergistic with the 6 week creatine on and off cycles.  As of now, I’m nearing the end of the 2nd week of the creatine off cycle in the bulking phase, and plan to begin cutting at the first week of April.

I also made changes to indicate that creatine will be cycled on and off throughout the entire year.  Check out the updated schedule to see the changes, and as always, feel free to apply it to yourselves as you see fit.
