There are two very different stages in the life of a bodybuilder or weight lifter. They serve different purposes, and use opposite ends of the spectrum to create results while also allowing those lifting to bask in their glory. These two terms, cutting and bulking, are the two main missions that weight lifters go on at different periods in their workout plan to maximize their muscle gain and then slimming down to make it show.
Bulking is the process of increasing the levels of foods eaten to emphasize strength. Done during the winter season so that weight gain is acceptable, bodybuilders eat more carbohydrates to allow the body the energy to expand muscle growth and create a bigger, stronger body. This involves heavy strength workouts, an increase in the amount of meals and a philosophy on gaining muscle throughout the process, at the expense of a bulkier physique and less definition.
The process beginning after the cold season ends, cutting, does the opposite to allow these lifters to show off the gains in muscle they have made. This involves eating healthy, and Addison Green, a personal trainer and nutritionist for over 20 years, trains his clients by optimizing carbohydrate intake to keep weight gain under control. This allows for the body to begin burning those stores of fat gained during bulking season, so that the final product can be exposed through toned muscle and a sharpened physique that makes the journey all worthwhile.
