    Default Cutting? Bulking? What?

    I've heard the terms "cutting" and "bulking" thrown around before but I always assumed it was BBB (bodybuilding bullshit) so I ignored it. But there are some threads in here discussing it seriously - can someone give me a quick primer on the concepts and processes involved?

    Bulking = eat a lot and train, so you build muscle, and probably add some fat too
    Cutting = eat less, so you get rid of the fat, but keep training, so you don't lose the muscle

    That's all I know.

    as thomas said.. but with the addition of words like Bro or Brah.

    some examples..
    "I'm bulking for the day brah.. Just had 2 glasses of skim milk for my post training shake.. it should help maintain the peak in my 13 inch biceps till we come back from the clubs"
    or
    "Yeah not sure why I couldn't get that last rep on bench.. I mean I got all reps at 45kg on bench yesterday.. it's probably coz I'm cutting bro."
