What's your cutoff for ending a lean bulk?

I'm starting to get thicc and need advice. I’ve made a lot of strength gains but my stomach is growing as well.

Do you guys switch to a cut based on an eye test or something else? Curious what the process is for people who've done several bulk and cut cycles.

honestly I'd do 10-12 weeks in surplus then 2 weeks at maintenance and reassess. After that shorten to 3-6 weeks if you decide to continue before reassessing again. Rinse and repeat

Yeah personally I go off how I look. I get to a point where I suddenly start gaining a ton of fat quick and that's when I know.

If you are lean bulking you should never gain a bunch of fat quickly. Just switch to a cut once you plateua
