oh I didn't even think that was possible.

>once a fatty always a fatty

but seriously, lean mass takes a while to put on. it's the inverse of taking off fat so just go easy with it

NO

DISCERNABLE

TALENT

Bro you only wanna gain about half a pound a week.
> people think bulk means to stuff your face 24/7
>eat 200-300 calories over your daily maintenance

maybe you're bulking too fast, maybe not. it's not like anyone can tell from your shitty post

>>37038373
so eat slightly less?

I thought it was always supposed to be a constant up and down thing. bulk then cut then bulk then cut.

lean mass grows slower than fat mass comes off. that's what i meant by inverse. if you're seeing a lot of fat being stored on your body it means you're eating too much. your body isn't able to use the extra calories to grow lean mass so it's storing it. slow down a bit with the eating and you'll be fine.

as far as bulking up, cutting down...yeah, it's a cycle. you can make it easier by not bulking too hard or dirty bulking. you'll have less to cut when it comes time for that. add fat and mass then shave off fat, rinse and repeat.

not sure how constant you think it's supposed to happen, but most guys i know only do it once a year (bulk for 3-6 months, cut for a few moths, reset, repeat)

>so eat slightly less?
how should we know? there's no such thing as bulking without putting on fat. maybe you're eating too much, maybe not. we can't see you from here.

thanks nig. so far I've been bulking for 4 months and went from 180lbs to 190lbs. I can definitely see more muscle in these 4 months than I saw in the past 8 or so that I was just eating normal. I figured I'd go for a 6 months bulk but I'm probably gonna eat less. what about adding in cardio. jogging 4 times a week for 39 minutes.

>39 minutes
why not 38 minutes?
