on the plus side, strength has gone up but jfc i can't go on any longer, convince me to trust the bulk or i'll go on a 1000 kcal deficit.
Have your ans disappeared? How long you been bulking? What surplus you at?
I eat at 1500 calories surplus
moron
600 calories in a pound of muscle
If you wanted 3pounds of muscle growth a week, you would need 600 x 3 = 1500 a WEEK. That's just 257 calories a day above maintenance.
You need to put on fat too. You need to be in an anabolic state to put on muscle. Do at least 300 calories surplus. You can't reliably measure less.
>You need to put on fat too
No you do not
Stop listening to roidtrannies
Just think of how legendary the cut will be, if you cut now you're just going to look like your former twig self.
>he isn't lean bulking
Lean bulking is an oxymoron.
>eating only the amount needed to gain strength and size so you don't gain any more fat than necessary while bulking
>aka lean bulking
don't, bulking is a meme
Stop watching Greg Doucette. The little manlet has anorexia and he's passing it onto YOU!
Or put it another way: If you think bulking doesn't work, you are stuck in novice purgatory. You do not bench 2 plates. You fit comfortably in a size S shirt. You are not seeing results. You're just too scared to bulk and think it's all or nothing.
1500 calories is too much. Try 500. Given how much you've already put on, try more like 200 or 300.
kek’d @ coworker roast
holy frick imagine getting absolutely rinsed by some cybersecurity engineer
>bulking
Why would you voluntarily get fat you fricking moron, just lift weights and eat normally
You could just do a 4 week mini cut. I personally have the opposite problem of trusting the cut. I am currently cutting. I feel like a husk of my former self but I'm noticing more and more random little cuts and veins.
>Dirty bulk
>Not lifting enough (doesn't have the nutrients for it)
>No cardio to minimize fat gain.
>eat excessively
>do hours of cardio to ”burn it off”
Why don’t you just not eat excessively?
because your cardiovascular system is failing and you’re going to die at 55
Bulk/cut paradigm is a body builder’s, because they have competitions they have to maximize leanness for. For those who don’t compete, you’re better off simply eating and adding muscle on a steady way. There is no need to bulk and cut. Get on that cut and don’t ”bulk” again. You’re behaving like a moron for no reason.
I love cutting so much it's unreal
>pants get easier to fit in
>have to shit twice a week
>coworkers asking if i'm on roids (i'm not)
>not sweating at all
on this plus side, strength hasn't gone down even a bit
Kek, I love the newfangled little hats 'jaks have these days.
>bulking but has all these problems
yeah no, youre just getting fat. Eat less processed foods and eat less man holy shit 4 times a day? Are you eating 12,000 calories?
Besides your pants getting slightly harder to fit in, nothing else you stated should come with a bulk. If your bodyfat is increasing quickly and substantially enough that normies are calling you fat, you’re eating way too much food and are just becoming a fatass. Aim to gain only a few pounds a month (i.e. 2-4 pounds) and assuming your training/diet/lifestyle isn’t complete shit, you’ll gain plenty of muscle without putting on an insane amount of fat.
you could do IF and eat after your coworkers get a chance to roast you. bloat starts after that first meal
Bulking and cutting are a fricking meme if you're a natty, unless you're anorexic. If you must bulk as a natty, do a LEAN bulk.
Never bulk. Gaining fat is never worth it.
homie, I roid and dont get all fat and sweaty like that on blasts.
I bet you're dyel too
asking why i am getting fat despite lifting
If this is real then you are really fricking up. You're not actually supposed to get fat on a bulk, 15% bodyfat tops
homosexual. 15% is lean. It's not an unreasonable starting point. Especially for your early years. As long as you're roughly within 12-22%, you're doing fine.
>pants getting harder to fit in
Eat less calories. You are overdoing it
>have to shit four times a day
Eat less fiber
