sorry man for my first bullshit response, i miss read the ? you are going to need an excess of cals to build muscle so its almost impossible not to put on fat while doing so. previous excess fat isnt gonna help but anyway i put on as much fat as possible when i bulk, then i know im getting enough cals in and the sheer increase in body weight will help w/ your lifts. the lbs you lift are related to what you weigh, so lifting heavier while trying to add muscle is always good imo.
