fat whilst bulking?

vinger

Do you guys actually get fat while your bulking?

Ive been bulking for 4 months, going really well. Good gains in bodyweight and strength.

The only problem is my belly is really into this growing business aswell.

Im doing no cardio or abs work, cos i really wanted to concentrate on getting big.

Is there a point where your carrying too much fat so you have to stop bulking? or am i ok to keep whacking on the weight n cut up next summer?

Any advice would be great.

try incorporating a bit of cardio and doing ab work.

just a bit of spot reduction,

as long as you still look muscular and your chest is much bigger than ya gut,you aint going wrong

im doing a mile run every morning while getting bigger at the same time,

definately seems to be working

so steve would you recommend that i do liek a 8 miniute cardio session before each training session when i use my reflex instant mass and San V12???????

no i dont recomend doing it before ya weights,youll find you will lose alot of strength.

i jog at about 5 in the morning and i weight train at about 1-30 in the day.

do them at seperate times if you can mate.

i work nights so it works out like i am doing it before i go to bed if you get what im saying

i go to sleep about 5.30 am and get up at 11.30 am

Hi Ho lads, Steve you are spot on with that mate, but i find running will actually build up your stamina without building up your muscles. Daily jogging will increase endurance. Greater endurance will in turn help you to do more reps, will in turn get you to where you want to get to quicker, obviously with hard work in the gym, sounds crackers but i use it and it works.

Abdominals are a major body part and should not be neglected anymore than you would your chest or back, my theory is that the abdominals are the engine and that neglecting them is going to lead to weakness and more hard work in the future...

Crunches, leg raise, side twists with a broom stick

Calfs are another pain in the arse, especially when they have a spasm while you're sleeping and knot up

2 miles jogging three times weekly is probably sufficient for a body builder, less if you include skipping. Was told years ago that 5 minutes skipping is worth 30 minutes jogging, I found that doing jogging with sprints then jogs and so forth is a good way to build up stamina/endurance when working the cardio vascular system.

i wouldn't worry to mucvh about fat its not that hard to get rid of.. Try eating smaller meals more frequently

Maybe he is already eating 6 - 7 times daily and more would just be pointless not to mention stressful on the system, maybe his body type is prone to fat and it does not shift easily.

Like I more or less suggested, we use our abodminal muscles in almost everything we do, no major body part should be neglected and the idea about bulking up and allowing a layer of fat to exist belongs in caveman times...

I dont kno whats goin on really. I was a wightlifter and only two yars ago weighed 56k, finding it hard to gain. Im now close to 76k and the weight gains are going nicely. I just worry about the size of my gut sometimes. Saw a pic yesterday of me on holiday from 2 years ago, couldnt believe it was me, ****in tiny!!!

Im really enjoying bulking (for obvious reasons) eat all day n lift heavy n less reps. Heaven

If you guys are sure i can shift this gut when im happy with my size ill continue. Never ever tried to lose weight before so it will be new to me.

Cheers
