he think now that he is starting to do cardio twice to three times a week he will bump cals to 3000 on off and 3200 on training day. In the past when he bumped cals to 3000 off and 3500 on training he was holding too much fat BUT he wasent doing cardio and on AAS

As long as he eats over maintenance, he'll gain. If he wants to gain slowly, he won't get fat. He won't get very big, but he'll stay lean and with fewer wardrobe changes.

this is key. gaining too much weight too fast will but bad weight in the wrong places. when i up my calories to bulk i shoot for 2 lbs a week(roughly) to keep my overall natural lean look. if i keep it consistant for 8 weeks, ill be b/w 10-15 lbs and im guessin half muscle. i do this once a year then cut my carb intake in half and cut sugar completely. the goal is to lose half of the weight gained over another 2 month period. this is donr natty though all before spring cycle. this may not work for everyone, but my body responds very well to this. and i NEED to do this after the holidays cause i start to look a little soft come the 1st of the year
