Does anyone "bulk" anymore?

[Arnold]

Meaning to gain 20-30 pounds with the goal of getting bigger...or is this method dead?

Do you stay lean year 'round? Or get heavier in the winter?

I don't bulk to that extent because clothes are too darn expensive. I'll gain 10lbs. during the winter and train like hell. Then I'll lean out for spring and summer.

My first and only attempt at bulking has just been cut short...lasted 3 weeks ...though i never intended to get all fat and outta shape like I think you're talking about.

I'm 20 lbs heavier than I was in May of 2001. I intended to get larger. My gains were nice until the holidays and family showed up. I think the last 5lbs was stimulated by pumpkin pie, ice cream and cheesecake.

Thats actually what I just did. At my last contest I was at a 178lbs , and around Christmas I reached my max bodyweight of 220lbs.
Right now I am ripped at 185lbs. So I gained around 7lbs of muscle.

it would be hard for me to really bulk because I play hockey year round and I don't want all of that extra weight. not to mention it would be harder to maintain the extra weight while playing so much. for me it works best to try and add a little weight at a time while staying relatively lean.

At one point I always tried to gain weight. But, now that i have gotten a little older i just like to have that ripped lean look.... During the winter is when i tend to get a little heavier and during spring, summer and fall I maintain a lean look...............

Do we have a female bodybuilder amongst us?
