Muscle Media 2000 published as excellent series of articles from a year or two ago that suggests this approach but with a few twists. Here is a very quick summary.

Bulk for two weeks by forcing yourself to overeat and train hard. Because you are forced to eat so much during the two week bulking period your body goes crazy hormonally and aids in great gains in muscle. After a two week period though the body then stabilizes itself hormonally and any further forced overeating would cause fat weight gain. That's when you start a strict diet with increased cardio and lighter training to clean up some of the fat you may have gained in the two week bulking phase. Then after two weeks of cutting throw the body into complete shock again by doing the 2 week bulking and overeating, etc. The diet is called the ABCDE diet of ABC for short if I remember correctly. Very interesting reading and I do believe it is quite effective its just difficult to execute.

Thank you very much mr.riker.I actually I always eat clean when cutting or bulking.My house is stocked with rice,pasta,cottage cheese,tuna,chicken,beef,oatmeal,sweet potatoes and other veggies.And forget the cutting one week bulking one week.How about bulking for 3 weeks outta every month and cutting for one week outta the month.I found that a few weeks ago I dieted for only a week and I lost about 2-3 lbs of fat it looks like.I can tell IM more vascular but I am unhappy because I think my arms got really small.....my girlfriend says it was probably fat I lost from my arms because they are alot harder tho.

OK, well the stuiff I posted about is an all-too-common problem (which many people try to solve with just MORE gear) but it seems like it may not apply here.

Maybe you just want to cut back on the total cals a bit.

Your switch back-and-forth method may work, but I think it always take the body a little while to figure out what its supposed to be doing "adding or losing" and therefore I think it might run the risk of being counter prouctive if you switch back and forth too often.

I want some more opinions on bulking for 3 weeks then cutting for one.If you guys think about when you first start cutting for like the first week or so is when you lose the most weight.After say a month of low carbing your t3 falls and all that other bullshit.Well if you keep switching it up I think you'd always get decent results.Its kinda like your training routine,you always gotta switch it up.And I dont know if my cals are too high or not cuz Im 5'10 210 lbs.
