bulking and cutting??

nunchaku master · 23-07-2006, 01:35 AM

Hi all. I thought I better post this here since it really is a beginner question.

What are the main differences between bulking and cutting? The reason I am asking is that i cant find any solid info about each.

At the moment i suppose i am bulking, since i am only 140pounds at 6ft!! I am only doing intense weight training, no cardio. But the thing is, i suddenly upped my calorie intake, so i shocked my body into storing a bit of fat... oops! It seemed to deposit only around my stomach.. so after 19 years ( i am 19 by the way), i actually gave a podge belly and can grip a love handle.. NOOO!

So would cutting solve this? But i want to continue stimulating hypertrophy.... but i need to get rid of this podge.

HELP!! Many thanks

Listen, your 140 pounds at 6 foot. You do not need to cut. You want to be put on some real mass and get big...

If you are scared of putting on some fat then you will have no success in bodybuilding, you need to be able to get past this. You aren't getting fat, you don't have significant podge, its almost impossible at 140lbs 6foot for that to be true.

Eat big to get big. Eat for 2 years and when your around 200 lbs, then do a cut.

it is quite normal to put weight on around your stomach-
some peeps put fat on all over - some dont.
all mine goes on my lower stomach and apart from first thing in the morning i feel like i`m 3 months pregnent-
just the price you pay to put on muscle-
dont worry if your an ecto like me it`ll be a piece of p1ss to lose once youve got enuff muscle on your frame-
patience dude!
