Going from cutting to bulking

[strom]

I'm been cutting for 10 weeks, eating about 500+ calories under maintenance. Started out about 200 calories under maintenance.

When I'm done with my cut, should I just start eating at maintenance calories, if so, is there a rule-of-thumb as to how long you should eat at maintenance before you start bulking?

I'm certainly open for suggestions.

thanks!

Actually, you should reverse diet from a cut...

eat at maintenance for 2 weeks,then u can go 200-300 cals above maintenance instead of the usual 500.keep that for another 2-3 weeks and adjust accordingly.better do it slowly and properly because it could totally ruin ur bulk.learned the hard way.good luck man
