I am planning out my next year of training and I cannot decide if I should do a long, slow 12 month bulk or a more aggressive 6 month bulk followed by a cut. I have heard that long bulks are better for building a solid foundation of muscle.

However, I am worried that by month 10 I will just feel fat and want to stop. A shorter bulk seems more manageable but I might not gain as much total muscle. I am currently quite lean and ready to start eating.

What has been your most successful bulking duration? Did you find that you hit a point of diminishing returns after a certain number of months? I want to be strategic about this so I do not waste time spinning my wheels. Any advice on long term planning would be great.
