BULKING IS BAD? Good Article!

Sorry no links to that site.



Just read it before you respond. Let me know your guys opinion on this!

Kind of made me rethink my approach, but maybe I shouldnt? He has some, what seem like "good points" and it does make sense!

I kind of skimmed the article to be honest. But it seems the guy that wrote it is basing it on a big assumption...that when someone says "bulk" they mean eat any and everything in sight. Most people I know that bulk/cut simply increase calories above/below maintenance by 250-500 until they see the scales moving or a change in the mirror. And they just use bulk/cut as a short form of eatting more or less.

Otherwise I do agree that when trying to bulk eating any and everything in sight is silly.

When was this article written? I feel like it is an older one. Going by the copywrite at the bottom I would say '06 and that seems about right. In '06 I was just getting into lifting seriously and I saw the "eat everything in sight attitude" I haven't really seen it recently though.

I know what you mean. I kinda think he means also, that when we bulk, regardless if its "good food" or bad, eating say 500-1000 cals over maintanenve may not be beneficial...
