When should I stop bulking? I've been bulked for around 5 months now, I've gained around 12lbs and my strength has gone up dramatically. I'm pretty big in size, but I want that big athletical look which I guess I can get only from cutting.

Is it time to cut?

Well we'd really need to see pics of yourself to have some idea of your build/ size so we can say whether you maybe should or not. And it also depends on how you want look.. You have to be little more specific in describing your ideal size. Saying that you want that "big athletical look" is telling us much. lol

General rule of thumb is stop bulking when you can't stand how fat you are. At that point get the fat under control and then start bulking again. I checked you pics and you're putting on size... is it time to stop that or keep going? Only YOU really know.

There's also another thing to consider, the seasons. Where I live NO ONE goes with out a shirt from Oct- May, So most of us bulk through that time and aim to be cut for the few months the weather is nice.

Yeah, I've been bulking since November and I want to get cut for when May comes around. I'm sick of how fat I am at the moment so I'm gonna cut now.

Thanks for the advice, fellas.
