It’s been a year and a ½ that I’m bulking up and i feel like it’s time to cut.
The thing is that I can not do that right now (because I have to study and it will make me a bit to tirred) so I planned to do that after my exams but… The other thing is that I will go on holliday so I planned (again) to do that after my holliday (because I only got 3 weeks between my exams and the holliday and I won’t be able to train in NY). So I will still bulk up till the 14 of jully.

So here are my questions:

- what should I do on holliday (8 days): I won’t follow my diet but I will try to keep my protein high with one or two “no carb protein shake” and maybe take some amino acid. Should I take something else? Should I try to do some exercice on holliday though?
- when I come back, can I directly start my cutting? I figured out a week of rest could help me to bulk up… I want to cut but I don’t want to lose a great opportunity, is this wrong?
- Is this diet ok for a cutting: 2,5/3 carbs per kg, protein per pound, no fat, omega 3/6/9, ZMA, glutamine, amino acid, (a good supplement to burn calories???)
- What should I eat on rest days?
- is boxing a good cardio? (punching a bag)

Thx a lot 

And thanks for all the precious advises I received on this site previously.

If u been working out hard then take 8 days off

Take fish oil supplement 10g: 5 morn, 5 night

You want fat in your diet....50-100g minimum....from healthy sources....virgin olive oil,nuts, seeds, esp fish

Yes Boxing/Kick Boxing is a phenomenal cardio workout....it's going to be HIIT at its best....

Take a week or 2 lifting at maintenance levels, then start your cut.

im guessing by maintenance bb means lift just to lift and not to gain. since youre goning to b cutting you shouldnt be trying to get any bigger.

Diet should be at maintenance levels while lifting for this period.
