4-6 weeks max. I want to lose 2lb p/w so I can start massing again. My BF is about 15% ( blurry 4 pack territory) and I want to lean out before resetting and going again. My last mass was originally 8 weeks but ended up doubling it because I ended up around 13%. I have always been a semi diet keep my abs 365 bitch but have now accepted I will not progress without putting the calories in. At present I'm eating @ 4k per day and will probably half this, if I was doing a longer cut I would probably start around 3k. I have OCD and record everything I eat. I've come to conclusion it's better to mass and cut when required for partitioning etc. I will probably run masses for 6 weeks + 2 week maintenance during cruise then go again or mini cut - not sure what others do ? My aim in the future is to go from 10-13 -10% BF massing and cutting as required. I don't do cardio as I prefer to reach a defecit through food ( busy family man). Historically I've just managed my Maximum Recoverable Value during a cut but this is a bit new to me and has the rest of the unknown factor
