I've already stated my opinion Andy, it's all there in black and white sir. If one (as Darkoz asked in one of his questions), regarding bulking, as in adding muscles, would one have to increase his calorie intake. And I replied by saying no, they don't have to increase it. I took "as in adding muscles" to be distinct from simply bulking as we know it, and I elaborated on what that distinction entails.Im a tad confused fadi, what is your opinion?
This distinction was made in the first two pages of this thread by Rugby, myself and you.
AgreeWTF, distinction?
The first two pages was talking about the benefits of adding fat to the body to assist adding muscle, I questioned that, dark agreed.
it's a myth,adding fat will not make you stronger, but I suppose can improve leverages., anything over 13% fat has no benefit, unless your strandard in the desert, or in some concentration camp.
It's hard to build pure LBM without any fat along with it.. who has such a finely tuned diet and training regime like that? Unless going pro.
I like you repacked
Look, most and more likely all of us, unless you're a practicing anorexic, are in a calorie surplus.Wow, so many misinterpretations of the term 'bulking'. I don't think anyone wants to gain fat, nor sees any benefit. The commonly used definition of bulking is to be in a calorie surplus where fat gain is not a concern. The purpose of this is to always have the body in a state of anabolism to promote maximum muscle growth.
then we should be in a state of constant bulking.
the reality is that excess fat has no benefit, none what so ever.
now, if we were to use the term 'bulking' to mean adding muscle (or at least maintaining muscle) and not fat, then we should be in a state of constant bulking.
Agree
Unless you are a SHW powerlifter that is actually in contention for medals there is no reason to fat up.( unless you like being fat) which is what most people do when they bulk. Aside for immediate nooby gains muscle grown is painfully slow naturally.
Most people don't get it. Most people class 1/2 kg a month as stalled.
Take a skinny 70kg bloke and gain 1/2 kg a month for the next 5 years and he is 100kg lean.
How many achieve that? Not many, if any. (I'm channeling the kiwis)
