Prob about 2-3 months initially and then maybe 6 weeks this year to tighten up again.

My Diet is relatively clean all year round but during the 6 weeks i'll only cheat maybe once or twice a week but do cardio every morning for the 6 weeks without fail.

I'm not too bothered with bulking anymore, a few years back i was floating around the 17st mark but fat levels were high, I'd rather slowly build on what i've got and look decent all year round. Depends on what your goals are in the gym really.
