Anyone ever tried carb cycling while bulking? I have done it while cutting and it works awesome, but i am interested in knowing if it works the other way as well? any opinions?

I've also done it for cutting and don't see a reason why it wouldn't work for bulking. The only downside is eating all that food that tastes like sand. Bulking is supposed to be the "funnier times"

how do you do it ?
why is it useful for cutting?

google scooby carb cycling and read it up.
Basically what it does is that by cutting carbs your body is using fat cells as energy(why low carb diets work). Body gets used to that soon though so you have to load up on carbs every few days

Well yea it sucked while i did it for cutting and prepping for my competition but thats because i had a coach telling me to only eat certain foods. i dont think it needs to be boring though. im planning to try and do a IIFYM bulk with carb cycling. I dont want to get upwards of 15% Body fat again. i am trying to stay down near 10-12%

yea just what anon said and basically after a few days you need to replenish your carbs since they are your main energy source. if you go to long without them you will feel like shit and slow down and have other issues...lol
Check out this video if you want, this is outlining my plan for my next bulk...and the macros i plan to use, as well as how i got those macros. Let me know what you think

can i still replenish my carbs if i have not been eating many per accident the past weeks. or do i need to stop dieting for a few weeks first.

how i did it when i prepped was i did two days low carbs...like less than 100g a day and then the third day i had a "high" carb day which wasnt really that high as i had maybe 150-200g. Then i just kept cycling two days low one day high

sounds fine. Give it a try and go back to normal if it doesn't feel right

yea thats what i figured. i'll experiment some. i have never really done anything other than a dirty bulk so i guess you cant really go wrong with trying it.
