    Gaining Muscle but staying at same bf %

    Is there a way to gain muscle but stay at the same bf %? I dont really want to bulk up but I want to gain muscle and I hear that is the only way to do it.

    Clean and controlled bulk with "mini" cutting phases.

    it is possible but very hard. you basically have to count every single calorie and keep a great log. to dial in the diet likes that takes time, months as you need to find out how much over maintenance you need to gain weight the take bf readings. then you need to drop cals very slowly until you get to a point where you are still gaining LBM but no bf.
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    I agree with this, except for the "mini cutting phases" part.

    As mentioned above, a clean and controlled diet. However it is quite difficult to put on absolutely no fat in the process. But thats what cutting cycles are for.
