Tfw fell for the bulking meme

Photo taken after 3 months bulk

You call that bulking?
Do you even GOMAD?

>>39923356
whats the issue, decent progress for 3 months

Bulking is really only beneficial for those huge guys who compete. There is no reason why anyone with your physique should bulk.

>>39923356

Literally zero visible change. Did you forget to eat little guy?

>>39923356
How tho I'm not even making gains I'm gonna OD on my protein shakes

>>39923386
Alternating between bulking and cutting cycles is important for maintaining weight while gaining lean muscle mass

What do you just get to a certain body type and then try to maintain it? That's stupid. You gotta keep sculpting your body

>>39923456
What's your surplus? And what are your macros?

>>39923482
Idk desu famalam i just eat until i can't after each workout

>bulking
>visable abs

You're doing it wrong

This has probably been asked before but is timing with food significantly important

>>39923493
There's your problem

>>39923493
>don't count calories
>don't count protein
>don't count calcium
>>>>bulking

>>39923603
Just eat a lot as far as i know

>>39923638
You're wrong.

>>39923510
NO

>>39923638
What you're doing is the dietary equivalent of doing 1 set of 10 reps and calling it a day because you're tired.

>Just lift it a bunch of times as far as i know

>>39923674
Kek. But what is the timing as far as food goes

>>39923638
Dude, just study how to bulk. Because what you're doing is stupid. You need to be eating calorie dense food, and you need to be hitting your macros

>>39923689
My circumstances don't allow me to eat at times for up to 9 hours

>>39923688
Calories are calories. Whether you eat after 7PM or every hour of the day, it doesn't matter. Just count your daily total calories and macros.

>>39923708
When you eat doesn't matter, it's what you're eating that's wrong. You need to count calories and hit your macros. Not just "eat til I'm full whenever I get the chance"
That's not bulking. That's just being fat.

what did he mean by this?

>>39923793
did he do gomad? jesus christ lol

>>39923793
Why would he do this kek

>>39923793
To be honest, to gain that much mass in that amount of time is in no way natty. He was probably juicing and would talk about the gym 24/7. Or most likely scream about the gym

It's okay to get big, just don't be so obsessed without that it's all you care about

>>39923603
...Calcium?

>>39923820
Lol

>>39923362
You forgot the mention that you used a filter on one pic and you're using a different camera phone which likely has a different pixel count.

>>39923988
Nigga and?

>>39923386
>>39923471
does anyone else 'bulk' and 'cut' but really just have an unhealthy relationship with food where you cant function normally without being on a huge surplus of carbs, then after a few months of gaining strength and fat, you call it a day and reverse the damage by cutting

>>39924243
>Nigga and?

Nigger and you're a stupid nigger.

>>39923471
>Alternating between bulking and cutting cycles is important for maintaining weight while gaining lean muscle mass

Nonsense.

please stop spreading misinformation

a caloric surplus is an absolute necessity for gaining muscle mass beyond the early intermediate stage of training

>>39923844
body dismorphia

Liar

>>39923510
read the fucking sticky

>>39923793
Literally all he has to do is lose a few % of bf and cut his hair back to short and he'd look good again

>>39923793
Dumbass probably gained all that weight in the shortest time possible. Looks a good 40lbs heavier kek.

He's being sarcastic autismo.

From one autistic to another

>It's very obvious that what you wrote is correct to anyone with even a modicum of bodybuilding knowlege or experience

You wrote an obvious and correct statement. That anon wrote 'Nonsense' to poke fun at the new years idiots ITT that don't understand this simple concept.

>>39923857

you don't know the timeframe jackass and he is inside natty limit

Do not diminish his achievements.

It's very very likely he is roiding (acne, bloat, the size) but not a guarantee, therefore, he gets the benefit of the doubt .

>>39925023

Gee almost like bodybuilders want to get as big as they can.

Go back to r/fitness

>>39923743

Wrong, it's ideal to eat many small meals. Also ideal to eat pre and post workout.

You can progress without doing so, but as far as ideals?

Do some more research anon.

>>39925899

He made huge gains in lean mass, looks like years and years of progress or roids.

He's fat because he doesn't cut.

One cut and he would look amazing.

>>39923493

Do research. You are not bulkign correctly.

>>39923386

bait?

Anyways there are a ton of DYELS ITT, so some general advice:

>Bulk at +250 calories
>Clean food
>Protein 1g/lb
>Cardio when bulking

YOu should gain 2 lbs/month.

After a few months, cut at -500, remove the fat, be left with lean mass gains.

You never need to get fat...

>>39923356
I stopped caring a week ago. I just eat a lot when I'm hungry and try to keep it healthy

>>39923793
>that hair
>that cap
>that acne
>that pose
If he just trimmed and cleaned up a bit I don't think he'd be that bad

>like women have never concern trolled about going to the gym "too much" in the past
y'all believe this??

>>39923793

Lost natty card, needs a haicut, and has a nasty Mo. lmao.

>>39926000
>sarcastic

yeah no that's wishful thinking pal, people on /fit/ are actually this fucking clueless now

there was no sarcasm in that guy's post

Dyel?

Counting macros is overrated as fuck.
Just approximating cals is like 10% of the work with 90% of the results.

But you wouldnt know, cus you don't lift

>>39926802

Goddamn, man.

Routine? Diet?

>>39927930
STOP ASKING THESE RETARDED QUESTIONS

HE OBVIOUSLY DID HIS COMPOUNDS + SOME ISOLATIONS HITTING HIS MUSCLES AT LEAST 2 TIMES A WEEK

HIS DIET = EAT ENOUGH TO GAIN MASS

THATS ALL THERE IS TO IT

FUCKING RETARD

>>39927936

But I feel like I'm doing those things and I'm not getting as good results.

I'd like to know if my perception of adequate exercise/good diet is wrong,

>>39927936
this comment is fucking retarded

>>39927958
THERE IS NO PERCEPTION FUCKING MONGLOID

EVERYBODY WITH A GREAT BODY DOES THE SAME SHIT

LIFT HEAVY
AND EAT

>>39927984

But I'm not getting good results, likely I'm doing something wrong. I'd like to know what.

>>39927996
You also have to give it time.

If you dont have 1/2/3/4 in stats just do SS or PPL till you have.

You wont look big or aesthetic without pushing those numbers

>>39928006
>1/2/3/4 in stats

What does that mean.

>>39928014
K lol.

Read the sticky first, then come back

>>39923471
bulk bulk bulk then cut faggot

>>39928022

I honestly can't find it.

I actually used to come here a lot like 1(?) year ago, and so I feel like I know a lot of the basics. But I'm pretty sure people didn't use terms(?) like "1/2/3/4" so I'm at a loss.

>>39928101
those are 20kg plates per side in order of OHP/bench/squat/deadlift

so 1/2/3/4 means 60kg ohp/100 bench/140 squat/180 deadlift

>>39928113

Got it. Thank you.

>>39928069

If you had an absolutely perfect understanding of your TDEE, expenditure, and intake, sure, you could make the argument that a tiny bulk could be best.

But you don't have that understanding.

I'd say it's basically impossible to actually pinpoint like 50-100 kcals above maintenance.

Could easily wind up spending a year eating almost exactly at maintenance and make zero gains.

i see we have shit ton of newfags on board so let me explain something

This guy is Blinky Bill
https://www.instagram.com/blinnkyy_bill/

He was posted here long time ago and i was following him ever since. If you have at least 5 hours of free time to scroll down on his instagram page you will se how fucking disgusting and retarded he looked when he started bulking as a natty. I think he's been on gear ever since his first pin. Seems like he did a small cut recently and personally i think he looks great as of now. Also, he is a fucking cuck. His current "gf" has a child who is couple years old (managed to check her profile out before she made it private)

>>39923497

>he doesn't have visible abs unflexed in the off season

Don't ever call yourself a bodybuilder, cause you're not.

>>39928113
>Counting the bar

>>39924263

>>39928113

>being this retarded

>>39929037
no. you are only at a certain weight when you can do at least 5 reps with it

took me four years including crohns disease and testicular cancer.

>>39930779
If this isn't a meme I haven't been around fit enough to know, congratulations, man! Crohn's is fucking hard shit, and ball cancer too? FFS, it's commendable you've gained all that mass. Keep it up; you look great!

>>39930779
>testicular cancer

what are your blast and cruise doses?

>>39930877
150mg/week cruise, no blasts yet

>>39923356
Wow, you look more filled out and barely gained body fat, what a tragedy.

>>39923356

Is it possible to lose body fat % while eating at maintenance? I don't even pretend much, just want 15-17 bf%.

>>39926000
Ideally you shouldn't need to cut back 500 cals especially if you're only working with a 250 cal surplus. Your metabolism should be running pretty efficiently at that little surplus, so you only need to cut back little by little until you find your sweet spot where you can still lift heavy with relatively high colume and lose weight. It's definitely going to be less that 500 cals.
