When is the best time to cut? i don't mean time of year or anything.
I've been bulking since September and gained muscle and fat too. I'm nowhere near my goal as far as mucle but I figured I ought to cut now before I pack on fat lbs. Should I just keep bulking though?

Is there a general rule or common wisdom with regards to this? or is it just personal?

I think Joe Muscle had a good rule of thumb of bulking to 15% and cutting to 8% body fat. That should be a good sample range to go by.
 
Lyle McDonald recomends bulking at 10%, cutting at 15% bf if you're not naturally very lean. If you are, you can cut down to below the 10%, but he still recomends cutting at 15%.
