I am unsure if I want to be tracking calories my whole life, and I don't know what it will be like to maintain my weight at 145-160lbs without an app. What should I do in my situation: follow a more distinct bulk phase right now, adding .5lbs per week /.35%BW per week, then cutting and repeating; or a moderate bulk at .2-.3lbs per week /.15-.21%BW per week and then maintain at 145lbs or 150lbs?
My question is: Should I: A.) Cut for a few weeks to shed body fat, then reverse out? B.) Figure out my current maintenance numbers and focus on getting strong? C.) Attempt a stricter bulk and lift heavy?
Should I cut or bulk? I've been bulking at about 3200 calories while following the 3-1 method that Sal talks about. Does it really matter?
