Extreme Eating for Mass

Cause when you diet down, you will have more muscle to show off than you would have if you didn't bulk up. This read is most beneficial for those looking to compete or for the individual that makes bb a hardcore hobby.
If you want to gain the most muscle in the shortest period of time, this is how you gotta eat.

i routinely give myself november-early february to eat whatever (still can't do fried foods though haha) i want. I kick my ass in the spring and summer so by the time october comes around my body is so exhausted from cardio and low cal dieting that im sufficiently primed to start eating big again.
my strength always goes up a little from what it was the year before and it's just mentally relaxing not being quite so obsessed and being able to go out and get a drink or have some pizza w/my friends. it's the time i really enjoy the other side of living. i still go to the gym and workout much harder. cardio and reps come down, weights and weight goes up.
i've never done a cycle, but am saving up the money to start my first as we speak. my annual range is 150-160 CUT - 175-180 Bulk. i wanna hit 200 this "off-season" and start the cycle asap.

Yep, I struggle to get in appreciable calories even when Im not too busy. Add in a day of classes or work and its a downright war.
Great read JB. I agree with most, but I still think it is possible to gain lean mass while staying lean. It may take a hell of a lot longer to do it, but it can be done. Like I have said a thousand times before.... 1 pound of LBM is alot. I just got tired of eatin so much that I was tired all the time from being full. I still eat often but 4-4200 cals does well for me with mad protein intake. I am gaining slower, but its solid weight and I feel good. Besides, going up and down in weight 20lbs every 3 or 4 months just doesn't feel healthy to me.
Again, thanks for the great post.
