They’re close enough, theres individual variation ofc but they’re a good estimate

Carbs before workout, 60-100g tends to be a good range
Get a little bit after too, but make sure you hit your protein and fat goals too

Because you do it again
Bulk to gain mass -> cut to lose fat > bulk again

i genuinely cant find info on this

everyone says muh bulk cut is outdated

then niggas say muh bulk cut is still method

so idrk

i just wanna be able to gain muscle and strength with looking good

you dont have to but personally i like to bulk in the winter and cut before summer, but bulking definately makes your face and physique worse so i see why people doesnt like it but its usually more effective, so its about lifestyle and preferances if you want to do it or not, but only for muscle it is the better strat, but you can definatley build muscle without bulking
