Research and Planning for Bulking Cycle......

N3t5layer · 08-16-2002, 12:06 PM

Good morning,

I had a few questions/concerns prior to begining a 5 week "Bulking Cycle". I am 25 yrs. old, 5'ft. 7"in., 155lbs, and have been cutting for the past 6 weeks and am now at 3.2 percent body fat. I feel great and my abs look cool. I'll start my bulking cycle on Sunday. I have been using "Nature's Best Zero Carb Whey Protein" with my cutting program. I know I have to increase my carbs and basically I will be following the "Male Bulking Diet" posted in "Best Nutritional Threads". What is a good recommended brand of protein powder that can give me lean gains without increasing too much body fat, and how much body fat should I expect to increase to get lean gains? I will also begin taking creatine, but I guess my concern is whether I should expect my abs to dissapear.......

Most people's ab definition disappears at 7-10% bodyfat depending on the size of the muscle, shape and genetic predisposition to store fat in the midsection.

Have you heard of anyone making good muscle gains without exceding that range?

Sure, especially if you're naturally lean. I mean, did you have to drastically diet your way down to 3% or are you just a skinny guy (by your stats I already know the answer to that question).

As for fat gain on a bulk- it all depends on your current diet and what diet you adopt. Post your current diet and I'll add or change a few things to help you gain muscle mass. Hopefully without a huge amount of BF gain.
