how long does body recomp last?
22 year old male, beginner in the gym, 6'4, 222lbs.
I've been lifting and hitting my macros since january 1st, staying in a small defecit. i've seen a huge difference. my arms have got noticeable bigger, my shirts fit different, and my silhouette has changed. all good so far.
I know body recomp is just a beginners thing though. And im just over two months in now, at what point should I start a bulk/cut? is there a set amount of time or are there indicators i should look out for?
