When you stay too long on either cycle, you tend to either get too fat on the bulking phase or lose too much muscle on the cutting phase and this is probably the reason why you’re having a hard time shedding all of the excess body fat once you transition into the cutting phase. Most bodybuilders do an average of 12 weeks (3 months) on each phase. In terms of the overall length of each cycle, doing 6 months on each cycle is a long time to be either bulking or cutting. Here are a few samples of a 4 day split and a 5 day split routine you can follow: You should only be training each muscle once per week for the best results. If you train with super high intensity, this should be all you need to gain mass and honestly, you might even benefit from cutting back to only 4 weight training days per week. Try switching to a maximum of 5 days per week for lifting weights. Weight training every day of the week is just too much stress on your body. You noted that you currently weight train 7 days per week and I recommend cutting back a little on training in order to prevent any overtraining issues. Does this look like a good bulking and cutting cycle to you? If not, what should I change? The problem I’m having is that I seem to still be carrying a lot of body fat even after I have finished my cutting cycle.
I always try to do my cardio after my weight training workouts. Then I do a cutting cycle for 6 months where I weight train with high repetitions (15-20 reps) and I also include cardio workouts with 40-60 minutes of slow and steady cardio sessions walking on the treadmill or riding the stationary bike. Right now I weight train super heavy with low reps (4-6 reps per set) and zero cardio to gain overall muscle mass and I do this bulk cycle for 6 months.
My question is about the best way to implement a bulking and cutting cycle into my training. I work each muscle group separately each day. I workout 7 days a week with the goal of packing on muscle mass since I want to get really big. I have been weight training for several years.
