Why do morons think bulking means a dirty bulk? Barely eat above maintainence and lift weights. Aim to be like 2lb heavier a month. Once you start looking a bit chubby for your liking you do a quick cut. Repeat. It's not complicated
>bulk 5 months gaining 2lb a month >cut for 1 month losing any fat gained thus far >Repeat indefinitely
How is bulking most of the year not going to get me big exactly?
Bulking sacrifices aesthetics and also make you slower to move in exchange for gaining size and raw brutal strength (especially to lift heavy loads, which can be extremely useful for jobs that are about/include doing that, obviously).
Want aesthetics, and a moderate balance of more muscular resistance, strength and muscle mass? Just do calisthenics. If done right, they give outstanding results. Helps a little bit if you got good genetics though...
I only do push-ups and chin-ups 5xF, 3 workouts x week and the results are more than decent. I would love to go back to the weights room, but currently my economy isn't going well so no money for gym sub, food and supplements. Calisthenics are for free.
Oh yes sorry I forgot about that. Let's suppose you're doing Starting Strength, Rippetoe added the exercise Power Clean for a reason... and that reason is exactly to enhance your explosiveness. (In fact if I remember right, Bill Star said if he had to do only one exercise of all, he would chose the Power Clean).
That single exercise included in your program will keep you from being a slow brutal ogre and have a decent grade of agility instead.
SS gives very efficient results and that's all I care about. You do what you will. >pic taken after very first workout of Madcow 5x5, followed by completing SS.
Huh let me see... According to my madcow excel registry from 2022:
SQUAT 3 x 150kg
BENCH PRESS 3 x 107.5KG
DEADLIFT 200kg x 3
BARBELL ROWS 100kg x 3
PRESS 67.5kg x 5
https://streamable.com/svvjmw My deadlift video. Sometimes I didn't even went in proper conditions of sleep, nutrition / recovery, energy, etc. I smoked. No access to god-tier quality american supplements but mediocre supplements made in my country. I practiced MMA and swimming at the gym's pool, all in the same day usually.
All these things, the stats, ~87kg BW 5'9'' height, are about the same period of trining of that pic.
lol
I’ve put on 25 pounds and even though my knee is not up to the cardio to quickly lose the weight my rehab has me doing 4 sets of plyometrics every other day and I’ve definitely gained a little bounce. I just don’t want anons buying into the pro to every con myth

Kinda dumb to assume slowing down, training explosively will make you more explosive.

nobody should ever be doing power cleans ever
And what could be the reason of that?
If you’re not on roids bulk very slowly and cut the fat every 10-20 lbs. Stuff your face is a disaster for natties.
>bulk up
>have huge muscles
>cut
>muscles become tiny
>realize it was just fat
Bulked and gained 50lbs. Then cut 25lbs. SS works. GOMAD works-
>those lil arms
oh we can see u did SS alright
why ur arms so small
My bulk isn't working, I'm supposed to eat 3400kcal a day but I try to eat more than that. I ate 4400kcal yesterday but I can't seem to gain weight
i did 😐
If you dirty bulked that’s on you.
Anything more than .5 pounds added per week and you’re just an idiot
lmaoo. he was filter maxing on the left pic. photoshopping too.
He didnt change, he always looked like on the right
It's crazy how ugly peoples noses can be as long as they aren't fat. Then the moment they get fat you see how disgustingly ugly their noses are.
