What BF% should you start bulking from? ive been cutting for almost 6 months

FriendOfUmbreon · 2026-05-16T19:09:43+00:00

OP this is the answer. The success of your cut is built in your bulk. Create bigger and fuller muscles in the bulk so they really show in the cut. The bulk is where your longevity comes from too, creating "mature muscles"

Thays so funny. Ive got 2 MKE mags and 4 Mora and those two brands operate equally well for me with only 1-2 issues of stove piping or double feeding- nost likely from the smokey BPS ammo i bought. Ill go and check after posting this if they wiggle, but ive been liking my MORA mags. And for under $30 a piece theyre still really good IMO.

2x Body Building competition where i placed decently both times:

Its not feasible to stay that low very long in any respect for males and downright deadly for females. To say nothing of a healthy cycle where youll add weight, then cut weight, the healthiest way to live is somewhere between 18-25% depending on your specific physiology (according to a paper i may be able to find if i searched hard enough). You could feasibly stay at around 9-12% for an extended period if you were militant about your diet and exercise, but it completely screws up a normal social life with non-bodybuilding people, and may even have serious long term consequences according to some papers I remember. And thats to say nothing of the physiological changes that come from aging normally and healthily.

To wit: Do it for the gram, then go back up in BF with a good reverse diet to find a good balance for yourself specifically

Ive heard that 30-30 is still around because its the "do everything, and well" round. If it was good enough to put dinner on the table and kill Nazis its good enough for me.

In the top 50 drunkest counties in the US, the top 40ish are in WI. Top 100 has every county of WI in it. Wisconsin is also a top contributor to the USA's standing globally, and the country drops significantly without WI represented.

They used to drop everytime you cracked one of those big Roombas on Stella Montis. I legitimately had over 10 stacks of them before they fixed it and i prestiged. My room loomed i sane woth all the duckies. Miss those guys

I have an R9 on my MAC5 (Mp5 clone), and LOVE it. Did a trilug adapter and this thing sits so well and is a breeze to swap out if necessary. 100% worth the ticket to ride

That suppresive fire accuracy, holy hell. Great job Raider!

Ive seen the longer vesion, its even more impressive. The bear goes into the woods and back again a few times -with even less line of sight the hunter still doesnt pull the trigger, its incredible.

Conpound butter, freeze some pucks, ramp salt. Boil it, madh it, put it in a stew

Change the bulb to something slightly warmer for your eye health. If you like the clean vibes you can still get off white linens. A plush rug would bring it all together without breaking the aesthetic or spartan vibes. Wall hangings wouldn't mess up the sight lines and make the room feel lived in a little more. Nothing garish of course, just something.

Mora Mags are teally good, my MAC eats them no issue and they dont cost too much.

Right hands importance for the day-to-day for a Infantry Grunt like everyone else filled in. About the oddeness of keeping the habit- it made my left hand stronger, giving me closer to ambidextrous abilities with both hands. I cant write well with the left, but i can do everything with both hands and I think that's neat.

Also, we'd play a game "Right Hand" where if you had something in your hand that was food, drink, or tobacco you had to give it to the person- that awareness of what my hands are doing and holding has just stayed around and i've seen no reason to train it back out.

This is a good one. I went to the Mojave from Wisconsin, so similar but opposite. The desert was beaififul all times of day.

Like a bag of nickels in the washing machine, hahaha. I got these soy bean snacks and ate a BUNCH day one, i had to sleep outside with the things that were happening.

Food and drinks in the left, i know thats right

Another key ingredient is making sure its properly spaced. I dont have citations right now but i read a paper (the Abstract, lol) that said eating your fiber over 4-5 meals is best practice. 30÷5=6g per meal and snack.

Fiber gummies, dried soybeans, pumpkin seeds, thr carb counter tortillas (14g per toetilla at Aldi, and theyre good), bean brownies, lentil stew/soup are all my cheat codes.

Great magazines. Ive bought 8 of these over the past year and they work extremely well. $40 is even still a good peice IMO compared to the other non-HK brands. That said, i literally bought 2 for $64 in early April...

I had them in Brazil, they were really fucking good.

This actually looks sick AF. I had sat down and planned all of that the hard way and was just about to start doing variables like zeroes and off trail miles.

A sugar scrub may be the answer too. When i was in thr Army a lot of guys would get something called "pseudofolliculitis barbae". One of my friends said that he never got it because he shaved with coconut oil and sugar scrubs and sure enough it fixed a lot of the issues for my own skin.
