Hi. This is my 5th HST cycle, I have gained and lost weight alternately, but I guess *NET* I've gained some muscle, and fat as well.
I'm planning to cut this January, have a few questions for you guys:
1.) If you say "cutting" cycle, should it be the entire HST cycle? Or can I start cutting in the middle, say in the 15s then start bulking again in the 5s? I find that usually I lose some weight in the 15s but I gain it back in the 5s...
2.) I haven't really been doing cardio (hehe), but I'm planning to do it in my next cycle to cut. Should I do it before or after my workout? Should it be DURING the workout or should I leave a few hours before or after doing weight training? What should be a good interval between cardio and weight training?
3.) I find that somehow even if I gain muscle, I gain a good deal of fat too. I guess this may be probably because of my diet, but I think it should be expected since I'm high carb all the time in bulking.. What do you guys think of carb cycling? 3days high, 3 days med, 3 days low carb?
Would appreciate your input on this..
