When do you guys decide to stop bulking?

[The Iotola]

I just wrapped up my cycle and PCT. After PCT total gains kept were 15 pounds. I have been bulking for about 3 months now. Its not die hard crazy bulking, but its good enough.

When do most of you say its cutting time? Im a bit worried that once I begin cutting ill start loosing muscle and watch my weight plummet. I know its all mental, but Id' like to hear what the others have to say.

for me it was when I couldn't see my abs any more. Also when I couldn't differentiate between my bi's, tri's and delts. I love seeing the cuts!

Yes I agree, when the Abs disappear its time to stop . However my bis,tris,delts always seem to stay relatively lean.

about a month after PCT is when i start cutting..not a cutting cycle..but cutting....depending on what i took as a "bulker" will depend when i start my cutting cycle time on = time off (including bloodwork)...keep in mind when you start cutting the weight you are loosing or will loose initially will be all water retention...(if you didnt use an anti during your bulking cycle). Look at it this way...you will "look" bigger cut up then a walking marshmellow man..

I stop gaining on bulkers after 8-10 wks, after that it seems like I just put on fat. I still like to run 16 wk bulkers though, but I drop down from 5 ks cals for the 1st 8-10 wks to about 3 k for the last 6-8 wks. I think staying on a little longer helps your body get used to holding some of that mass.

Currently I'm running a half bulk/half cut cycle. I actually just started the cutting phase today, so I'll let everyone know how it goes. I can't resist those 1st couple monthes of bullking, it's too much fun.
