Bulking VS. Cutting

December 27, 2022 By Dave DePew Leave a Comment

Bulking and cutting are two common terms used in bodybuilding and fitness circles to refer to two different phases of training. Here’s a brief overview of the basics:

Bulking:

  • Bulking refers to the process of intentionally gaining weight, typically in the form of muscle mass, through a combination of strength training and increased caloric intake.
  • The goal of bulking is to build muscle size and strength.
  • Bulking typically involves eating more calories than you burn on a daily basis, as well as incorporating strength training exercises into your workout routine.

Cutting:

  • Cutting refers to the process of intentionally losing weight, typically in the form of body fat, through a combination of cardio and a calorie-restricted diet.
  • The goal of cutting is to reveal muscle definition and improve overall body composition.
  • Cutting typically involves eating fewer calories than you burn on a daily basis, as well as incorporating cardio into your workout routine.

Both bulking and cutting can be useful strategies for improving body composition and athletic performance, but it’s important to approach them in a balanced and sustainable way. It’s also important to keep in mind that individual results may vary and it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional or a qualified fitness professional before starting any new diet or exercise program.
