Very hard to stay lean over Christmas/ new year

[i$e]

Hard to say really. If you're above 15% bodyfat then I'd tend to suggest an 8 week cut or something. Otherwise there's no harm in bulking to say 225 and re-evaluating, which might be more viable as this time of the year is pretty tough to restrict on calories.

yeah, the Christmas period is the one I do dread every year in regards to staying healthy and in shape. Eat like a fucking hoover in winter. Think I'll just keep going to the gym, lighter though as I tend to be a bit busier this time of the year and eat more and get ready for the new year.

I'm 19% BF, but I think I might do a winter bulk too. No girls to impress while I'm home, and lots of cookies and turkey to eat.

I'm trying to get a clean bulk, while not gaining weight. If I take up your mass while doing cardio at least twice a week is it worth it?What I have now: [IMG]

No. Clean bulk without gaining weight is just a recomp attempt that probably won't get you that far (unless you want to maintain current composition)
