Lol, cute. You have experienced people who are big and lean. Those people may already be big and are cutting. (See IFBB PROS! :roll: ) Bulk is gaining size. Basically eat whatever the f*ck you want, providing you're eating a sufficient amount of the right stuff (some people may not want to get too fat) and a cut is losing fat. Simple.

ah thank you! so many people make it complicated as a mother....! so because I want to get lean. I just bulk to a decent size then just eat right eg less calories...... then I will be cut like Jacob off Twilight lol..... Do you change your weight lifting routine eg high reps instead of low reps etc

People go on about it so much because not a lot of people can get big and stay lean (cut) at the same time without help from naughty things.

Not necessarily just less calories. They have to be calculated accurately. See, you can't have 200 protein 80 fat and 200 carbs to cut. But you could also have 0 protein, 80 fat and 400 carbs and you're having the same amount of calories and you will definitely lose mass. I hardly pay attention to what calories I'm taking it, just what I'm actually eating.

So in saying that, yes you would become cut if you ate less calories (depending on your diet currently) however, it has to be calculated and thought out how you will execute it.

For me, I don't change reps, I'm probably sitting around 11% and I train all rep ranges. When it comes to me cutting, I still train the same up until the last week where I will bump the reps up heaps with less weight to burn the glycogen. It just depends on your goals eg. how lean you wanna be and what for.

thnx man! are carbs just fat and you getting rid of all that excess fat? If it is fat why do you lose muscle when you cut?

Carbs and fat are different. Carbs give you energy to burn fat, essentially (you have to put in the work as well). Depending on how fast you cut, losing muscle is basically inevitable, unless you're on steroids. Your body has to eat away at fat tissue to lose weight, but sometimes it eats away at the muscle (I THINK maybe due to not consuming enough protein?).

Hey hey hey. Carbs are carbs. Fat is fat. No one asked me to specify food so I never specified food, furby
