Bulking!

[Eze]

When you guys bulk, how high do you let your bodyfat get? I know some people that don't give a damn how fat they get while bulking. I am dieting right now and I don't think I ever want my bodyfat much higher that 12% ever again. Where do you guys draw the line?

 

[Fayde]

It is not a matter of how high. For me it is a matter of % gain. I try not to gain more than 2.5 to 3%

 

[saturn]

I put on a little more than I would like. I see probably a 2" increase around the waist but that's not to bad I usually start out pretty lean.

Do you guys do cardio at all when bulking? I never used to, but next time I bulk, I am going to do cardio at least once a week I think. I don't believe it will interfere with my gains very much if any. And it will help keep my heart healthy. What's your thoughts on this?

 

[saturn]

I don't do cardio much while bulking. I might hop on the tread mill once a week if that. I probably should do a little more.

 

[Fayde]

I do not while bulking if I am using dbol or Eq. Had some wind and bp issues when doing cardio.

 

[Brock Landers]

I've been bulking for some time now, my next cycle will continue to be a bulking cycle. I'm not concerned about bf right now

 

[Eze]

How do you guys eat while bulking? Do you keep your diet clean? Do you eat everything?

 

[Fayde]

I try to stay fairly clean. I do not gain as much mass, but I do not lose nearly as much either.

 

[saturn]

I only count protien grams when bulking everything else is fair game. I try to keep it as clean as possible but don't worry about fat or carb grams.

This is what I was looking to do. How much protein do you try and consume Saturn?

 

[bronco944]

im still natural here but eat every fucking thing in site. if i want it i eat it, even when slin is active. i cant gain any more fat than i have right now, i think its impossible for me because im way over maintanance levels of cals, by around 2k actualy. funny thing is i wont gain any more than i have no mater what but it kills me to lose the little bit i have, and its all on my love handles and lower abs. i can see the top 4 abs no prob, then i got a lil tire goin on. but if i did gain fat easy i would get too overboard, maybe alow myself to gain a few %. as far as one day of cardio, it wont hurt gains and be at least slightly helpful for cardiovascular health but dont count on it doing much for fat loss.

I shoot for about 480g per day at 240lbs. I don't always succeed in getting 2g per pound but stay pretty close.

 

[Eze]

How the hell do you get 480g of protein???

 

[saturn]

Eat, eat, eat and eat some more. I also supplement with nlarge2 during bulking so I get 150-200g in the form of protien shakes. I also make the shakes with milk to get a few more grams of protien.

 

[bronco944]

i always use milk to make protein shakes, cant stand them with water.

 

[bronco944]

anyone here use musclemilk for there protein shake, i was thinking of trying it.

 

[Eze]

I usually use milk, but I am cutting right now, so I am drinking them with water. I don't like it very much, but I do it anyways.

I have never tried musclemilk, but I hear they taste great. If you ever give them a try, let me know how they are bronco!

 

[bronco944]

i plan on it very soon, as the 5 pounds of eas vanilla makes me gag thinking about it. even whole milk cant help that shit. i like isopure but its kinda expencive and i dont mind the carbs or fat, even when taking it post slin shot.

 

[Bustanut]

If flavor is an issue, I think Labrada Lean Body vanilla tastes great when mixed with skim milk. Expensive though.

On the subject of bulking, I'm 4 weeks into my first cycle and have put on more fat than I wanted too. I'm going to throw in some arimidex and cut cals to see if I can trim up the rest of the cycle without stopping the bulkup.

If that doesn't work, I have a second cycle, cutting cycle, in the works made up of prop and fina.
