Came across your channel last week, and really appreciate the content. I’m a 37 y/o male, been training for the last 12 years - seriously the past 5 years with more focus on classic compound lifts and body part specific accessories. Currently, I’m trying to cut down to 168-170lbs @ ~10% BF, from 178 at the moment, which would be the leanest I’ve ever been. History of childhood obesity well into my mid 20s. Went from 245 to 185 when I was 25, and have fluctuated between 180-210 since then - mostly 190-200. Once I get down to 170ish, my plan is to slowly attempt to gain muscle back up to 180-185. I’d love to hit my 40th birthday jacked at 185. So here’s the question. What would you recommend as a good strategy for achieving that 40th birthday goal in terms of bulk cut cycles? Should I slowly try to bulk up to 185, then cut back down a bit, then bulk back up to a certain target? Or should I try to bulk even further past 185, for a longer period of time, before cutting back down to try to hit that 185 @10-12% BF? Thanks for all the great content! Keep it coming, man.

Thanks for the great question bro. Best thing I can tell you is to treat your bulk just as serous as your cut. Track your food and be mindful of not adding too much fat. Dont get married to a number either. The scale doesn’t tell the whole story. Happy to set up a chat if you want more help
