Bulking

Post by caden0925 »

Does bulking make you fat? Or is it mostly muscle. If i bulked would it show abs and other muscles or would i have to cut to show them?

bulking up doesn't mean getting fat...if you try and do it fast you'll gain mostly fat...if you do it slowly you'll gain less fat...keep cal's in check and you shouldn't get fat at all

that's the hardest question to answer...do this:

1 - weigh yourself and get a % if yuo can and also take a waist measurement at button level...do this at lunch time

2 - starting the next day and for the next 7 days record everything you and drink

3 - on the 8th day remeasure yourself at the same time, same scales, same everything

4 - add up all cal's consumed in the 7 day epriod, divide by 7 and see what yuo avaerage a day

5 - if you gained wt but fat, your cal's are too high...if you gained wt but not fat than cal's are at the right amount for now...if you lost wt but also muscle, it's not enough food and if you lost wt but not fat you're far too low to even sustain muscle
