So whats the boards view on what he said? I have to admit I am seeing more and more guys in great condition and very big but not bulking as such....I was always under the impression that its one or the other and you should not get caught in the trap of trying to do both....I would be interesting to hear everyone's opinion on this?

I don't like bulking or cutting either. Recomp is definitely where it's at

So if your protein intake is high, carbs moderate/low, junk food next to nothing - can you gain muscle on a calorie maintenance/slight deficit?

Can you? Yes...but there is much more to it than that.

Ok, Im gonna cut in May 2014 to 9% b/f.....once I have got to that level should I very very slowly increase my carbs and see how I get on?
