Uhh!
Better be, you've gained a new sub :)
@PictureFit When are we going to continue our journey on Dark soul?
So in terms of BMI, should I stop bulking once I'm out of the normal range?
Given the fact that we are 2 week into new year, I really hope so haha
Bulking in winter >>>>
Cutting in spring?
No cuttin 🙏
Definitely
If you believe in naturalistic theories you would cut in the winter and bulk in summer and fall. Winter has no access to seasonal fruits vegetables etc, EG animals hybernate in the winter and "bulk" before the winter arrives
I like running shirtless in winter. Besides, all my fat is stored in my face anyway
Bulking I always describe as slapping clay on to your sculpture. Then after you "cut" off the excess clay to make your masterpiece
thats a cool way to think about it
dude i always felt this same way lol 👊
i've been on a bulk for my whole life💀
The main thing about bulking for me is getting fatter.
It's really hard to be lean (I never was competition level just to clarify, but I think I had around 8/9% bf) and then see yourself getting fatter and fatter each week...
It's been quite of a mental battle to not quit the bulk, cause even after I could appreciate the muscles growing quickly I just was like "I'm already a bit bigger, I could cut and I'd look way better than before".
That was my thought almost every morning for the past 3 months.
You’re doing something wrong if you’re getting fatter every week
@@stemratex man I'm not like 20% bf, but still compared to that 8/9% of this summer I look shit with my actual 13/14%
Weak ass mindset
@@vsrztoro5989 ask literally any athlete how they feel after seeing their body fat increase after a competition, then come back with your "shitty mentality" idea.
It's hard to see your peak physique going aways, it's nice to be able to lift heavier but the way someone looks in cut isn't comparable to a bulk, if it was this way then Mr Olympia winners would've been around 15% bf.
@@Iceman-hb3uk I get it man but shit it’s not like it’s gone forever
Your videos have always been some of the best. Great passion in your voice, clean presentation of the info. All while keeping it professional with the casual touch for all. Great work grateful to be subbed.
Finally someone who actually understands how bulking should be done and structured properly. Most people just throw the word bulk around aimlessly without taking into account bodyfat percentage or anything. Would've been good if you implemented the benefits bulking has for specifically strength gain and training too tho.
Hamza lmaoo
I just wanna say, you're videos are awesome! They always motivate me to work out whenever I don't feel like it. Keep up the good work! :)
Really glad you're posting vids again, really miss your content
I've just started lifting from today. What a timing to upload this video. Thanks and keep bulking everyone
Congrats. Stay clean playa
@@HighTide_808 na blast
There's a lot of bs in the fitness industry, if you want a headstart, watch sean nalewanji, AlphaDestiny, Natural Hyperthrophy and Geoffrey Verity Schofield. Stay away from greg doucette and athleanx
@@shlekmirkarin6429 what did Greg doucette do
@@pavlos1048 he makes low tier fitness content like drama videos and natty or nots, you will not gain 1% of muscle watching those kinds of Videos, also he promotes "maingaining" to natties and other stupid concepts that dont work for natties. Maybe also that he charges 48'000$ for coaching lol
FINALLY THANK U I NEEDED THIS SO BADLY
Thanks for being super clear and to the point. Stopped by to check my bulking strategy. Reaffirmed im making the right considerations.
As someone who has been cutting for over 2 years and lost 90+ lbs, Bulking is terrifying to me now. I just wanna build muscle and forget about those days 😂😂
Yay!!! A video from you! 😀 You just made my day 😊
i literally started bulking yesterday and you uploaded this today lol
Currently doing the first very strict reverse diet in my life: I'm adding about 50-100 kcal daily per week since Christmas. So far I haven't gotten any fatter which I would call an absolute success. I'm planning to do this until March and do a short cut afterwards.
adding 50 to 100 calories is virtually nothing and you will see no changes, because the sheer uncertainty in calculating calories let alone how many you burn is already WAY bigger than 100 calories and you burn more on accident very often. I must go at least 500 calories surplus if not more. I am talking purely from experience. Also if you haven't put on ANY fat at all, its also a red flag since its thermodynamically impossible to put on any muscle without putting at the bare minimum at least a bit of fat, which means you are not bulking at all. If on top of that you are only doing it until march you might as well not say you are doing any bulk at all, cause you will not be making any changes to your body whatsoever
you ain’t building muscle with that surplus
Per week is wild
@@enriquesuarez7113 How is it not? That's 500 kcal every day after 5 weeks. And putting on muscle is not my concern right now. I'm plenty muscular anyway. My problem before has been that whenever I was bulking I put on fat instantly. Now I'm trying to be clever about it.
So far it works great.
@@xianxivfx Sure I will. I've put on muscle with way fewer calories before... you don't seem to realize that the calories get more and more each week.
Just the advice i needed!
Starting to bulk, great video!
Thank u so much. I needed this video❤
great job explaining.
Honestly this one might be the best and the most understandable video ever made on bulking. I love it!
That TDEE calculator is awesome btw
I’m an Ectomorph and I personally saw the most progress during my first bulk when I was at a 1,700 calorie surplus or 4,450 calories a day. It was a semi clean bulk and I gained 50Lbs within 9 months. After doing some calculations I gained 28.9 LBs of muscle and 21.1 LBs of fat.
Nice bro I'm starting my bulk tomorrow because I'm a skinny bastard.😂😂😂 I've been going to the gym for about a year now.
@@Anywhere_bUtt_Herethat’s great !! Good luck with that. Cheers.
How tf do you clean bulk 4,5k when you have other things to do during your day except just eating
@@imvocalinbed exactly, that surplus is just insane.
@@imvocalinbed “semi clean” I ate about 6 meals a day
Great video, I've always found timing ya bulk over winter (Xmas, new year are more fun on a bulk) and cutting just before your summer holidays... If you're not on Peds bulking makes you look jacked in a jumper and being cut is great for the beach :)
*works best
Very informative, thank you.
Great info ❤thank you.
Missed you bro!!
❤
Excellent video! Can you make a video of what to do after bulking? You already gain muscle, but how do you cut fat and get a defined look maintaining all the muscle you gained in your bulk
Gear
You’re back!
Started my gym journey 10 months ago.
Lost 2.5Kg in 2 months, then I started bulking, gained 7Kg and I can assure some of them are clearly fat :D
Training a lot + eating a lot = addiction
I need to break this vicious cycle sooner or later
Remember to eat nutritious food brother. I have dirty bulked in the past and for me and the majority of people it is the most stupid thing one could do. It is much harder, enjoyable and healthier to eat clean
@@ahmadmustafa2910 and do a little bit of cardio too
Finally a new video I keep checking. Please do a video on SARMS lots of misinformation about SARMS like rad 140.
Really good video
Everyone feels too small when they cut, and too fat when they bulk. I’ve resorted to looking decent and feeling great year round, 15% body fat like Picture Fit says is the good middle ground 👌🏽
He's back!
watching this right as winter bulking seasons about to start lol
Amazing video
High helpful, thanks.
Can't wait on Greg's response
I gained 7kg (15 lbs) of body weight for 8 months. Went from 70kg (155 lbs) to 76.5 - 77kg (169 - 170 lbs), but my boy fat percentage increased a little
Can You tell me how many carbs protein and fat % u ve been eating to bulk?
@@davisimon7786 Actually I have eaten less protein, carbs and fats than my maintaining. I eat like 2500 kcals per day. 100g protein, 80g fats and 300-350g carbs. I fish to eat at least 150g of protein per day, but it`s very hard.
@@teodortodorov1662only 100g of protein??
How talk are you? If you don't mind sharing.
@@Stories4SaleMedia Same between 77-79kg
Video was soo good. Make sure to check the TDEE link.
I gained roughly 10 to 8 pounds of muscle with just 6 months of working out and it was a lean gain had a six pack the whole time I never worry too much about fat I was just trying to get bigger and stronger for football but a good diet a workout program and I got a great gains in lean mass. I don’t believe in bulking but I like your informative content.
What was your calorie intake (protein/carbs/fats)? And how often did you train?
@@mrskbbsDoesn't matter. Who doesn't have abs, will never get them. Even if they'll go to 10% body fat.
@@PewDiePie777 cope
@@mrskbbs You know it isn't cope yourself.
Two and a half years ago, I weighed 140 pounds and 14% bodyfat and had a goal of weighing 155 pounds with my bodyfat in the low double digits. I've been bulking during the winters and cutting in the spring. I had a fitness assessment done 'bout a week ago and I'm up to 166 pounds and 11.5% bodyfat. That puts my BMI at 26 which makes me overweight. My problem is that I have to keep buying new shirts. I'm thinking of trying for 170 pounds and single digit bodyfat maybe by next year.
With a bodyfat of 11% you are nowhere near being overweight
@@hfhd7889 Just shows how useless BMI charts are.
BMI is bullshit it's for the average weak ass potato american, and it's created by the american health industry which does not give a single fuck about your health.
@@nighttrain7578 they are not useless for like fat people or underweight people who are starting to make gains
Bmi doesn't take into account people weight training muscle gains
Amazing
I started out as 67 kilo. At 1.92cm/6.4 feet. Very weak and light, started bulking over a very long time and my hevyest i weight so far was 79,9 kilo. And was 14% body fat. Now… I am stil skinny. But… I can’t forget where I came from. So far I am doing great, telling my self that is pretty hard knowing that I am stil not as big as I would like. But… stil getting bigger😎 can’t forget that
Long time no see
I started out with 33% body fat but I am now at 22% but I want to gain more muscle. Would I have to do more overload in weight training if I want to gain more muscle? Just looking for good advice ✌🏼
Make a good weekly program which targets every muscle twice per week. For example push/pull/legs.
Progressive overload every exercise, do reps of 8-12 according to what exercise are you doing. Rule of thumb, if you can do 12-15+ reps, increase the weight.
Also involve as much protein and complex carbs as possible in your diet and drink lots of water through the day
Thank you
I'm at 23% but still want to put on some muscle first. Bit cause getting into food tracking is easer with more calories and building the habits and disciplined for when I cut back
Body weight scanners are usually very inaccurate and only good for measuring how your body fat % changes rather than getting an accurate estimate. Especially true for women.
helpful thx
My biggest problem is that a slight surplus and a slight deficit only seems to be a range of 800 calories, based on a maintenance calculation that is already inherently imprecise with the added complications that even slight variations in diet and even walking on any given day can slingshot you over or under such a fuzzy target. It’s exhausting to try and determine any of this.
Bulking 2 month before Ramadhan>>>
I’m cut , doing the bulking process right now , slowly increasing my protein & calorie intake , I must say It’s uncomfortable but I want my dream body
You can progressive overload without increasing volume, you simply increase intensity/more weight with same volume.
starting this today, I’ll check back in every couple of weeks or so for progress.
What will you do to prevent being the umpteenth person commenting this just to vanish into thin air again?
@@Melvin420x12 funny enough ive actually seen that happen plenty of times. every couple of weeks gives me plenty enough time to check back in bruv
@@Lowkeiii Haha yes I've seen it a lot of times before. I've been one of those persons before too and there's a high chance you'll be as well. So what will you do to prevent that from happening? Give yourself a tangible goal. Like setting reminders in your calendar
@@Melvin420x12 thanks for the tip
@@Lowkeiii No problem! So, how are you going to prevent failing?
Just started my first bulk after a cut, im doing it clean lessgo
How’s it going?
The permabulk from birth till where you're at rn, is, and has always been, the best 😮💨! 😆
Could you make a video recommending some ideal diets to follow? Especially if they're easy for someone always busy. I have been struggling with this and I find that alot of the information I find online is contradictory. I don't mind how boring it is I just want to get the results I need. But I don't want to be neglecting the vitamins I require. I'm aprox 5'11.5" & weigh 173 pounds.
I have been eating the protein I need (about 160g per day) for about a month now. I have not gained fat but have gained muscle. I'm a newbie, I only started gym 3 months ago. I don't count calories, I only focus on the protein. I eat chicken broccoli rice twice a day and another meal in school, with other stuff in between like eggs. I have gained a total of 10kgs of weight since I started 3 months ago. Some of it has to be fat but I do look leaner than when I started so I don't know what that is about.
Same
Newbie gains
It depends
I bulk weekend, birthdays and holidays, and cut weekdays, lazy sundays and when My girlfriends mom finds a New healthy recipe 😆 been between 60-75 kilos the last 5 years i have been doing so and I am extremely happy with how My body has improved 😄 its All about balance, no? 😂
That sounds fantastic holy hell
Have you ever considered a vid on insulin resistance? Even if someone doesn’t have prediabetes or t2 diabetes, they are often insulin resistant, shown by a HOMA-IR test
The definition of diabetes/ prediabetes is just a specific amount of insulin resistance
@@TheTschang0 but you have insulin resistance before you get high glucose levels. It’s just at before you get high blood glucose levels, the insulin gets higher and is still able to keep the glucose down. Prediabetes is when that stops working well
I'm 15 and was skinny asf, Just started my bulking journey 6 months ago and I can see differences.
Simplification:
1. eat more foods with protein
2. Less Sugar
3. train until you can’t anymore
4. And Rest
I've been under 10% bf for my entire life and not being capable of building a respectable amount of muscle and strength (i't's been 2 years since I can straddle-planche but not full planche😅) and from today I will try to bulk up to around 18% bf, if I'm still alive I'll tell you how it went, see you next year!

how r u going
+3 kilos without gaining too much fat 🎉
Bulking this summer
This is an unpopular opinion, but I think bulking in the summer is by far the best. It’s easier to get sunlight and keep your testosterone high, which is perfect for building muscle in the winter time. Sunlight is pretty sparse in some areas which is going to negatively affect your sleep And motivation and by extension your gains. furthermore, in the summertime, the pressure/desire to stay lean is going to make it easier for you to stick to your diet because you don’t have a fluffy sweater to hide under if you take that extra helping of food

about to start a 5 month bulk to put on about 70 pounds and then cut for track season
i dont know if its possible but im going to be eating a lot of peanut butter. right now i go through a large jar every couple days
thx
looking for tips for a 6ft2 male looking to gain 10kg of body weight while having most of the mass gained being muscle.
I'm bulking for the next 7 months
Can you do a video on calisthenics body
Bros cut is gonna go insane
the math doesnt check out with the g of protein per kg and lbs , but good effort on trying , or you potentially read two different papers that suggest those amounts and didnt realise that they are suggesting significantly different amounts
Can u explain what is harder to build muscle being skinny or fat , and thank u for the work loving what u doing
It's probably harder the faster your metabolism is.
So i am 141lbs. And 5’6” my bmi is 22.8 i used three different calculators and got that answer. Just started going to gym. Im not jacked looking by any means but should I not bulk and instead cut/maintain?
Gained 9kg in 3 months now aiming for 70kg
20 pounds in 3 months? I think 80% of that is fat and water mass either way good luck on your cut!
I'm very lean now bro its been 8 months hahaha@@Memesdotcom
Geez i done that just last month and now aiming for 70kg
I Got 9kg in 1 year
so how much should you gain per week? @@Memesdotcom
Shit, I didn't wanna bulk even when I was sub 10%. I feel like shit and still have veins shooting out everywhere after gaining 30 lbs
help! As a beginner who’s 20% bf which year = more gains (6m low deficit losing 0.33kg per week+6m lean bulk) or (3m higher deficit losing 0.66kg per week+9m lean bulk)
Not sure that's what I want. I've been thin my whole life and I like being that way, it's really a part of my identity. But I do want to build muscle, to be atractive, being muscular thin. If bulking is more about becoming big with not only the muscles but also the fat, that's not something I want. I like being skinny, I just need some more muscles mass
That’s my secret. I’m always bulking.
my friend can you please tell me how can I target every muscle group twice a week while training 3 to 5 times a week, won't targeting every muscle group need 6 days a week
DIRTY BULK OR BUST!!
What about what to eat when bulking?
my BPI stands at 21, I want to let it be between 15 and 21, guess lean bulking is something I should
Please do a video on body leaning. Everytimes I tried doing home workout, my body tend to be bigger which eventually makes me look shorter and bulky.
Try intermittent fasting, to me it's the best way to get and stay lean. Also, big shoulders will make your waist look smaller
@@catcat4697 I'll check this out. Appreciate it mate.
@@ab-15188 no problem, don't forget to ease into it. You're probably gonna feel completely drained the first couple of times, but once you're used to it feels amazing
My bmi is 19.7 sr and iam 14 yo ive been bulking since cutting
Idk if this is good but I have 2 rounds of bread with tuna sweet corn and have porridge
I’ve been bulking my whole life, time for a cut
Can you do a video on how and when to cut 🤌
A course is a course of course of course.

Me watching this with a 20% bodyfat% already :
HMMMM
Yes! Baldy is back!
Is bulking recommended for me ?
I was 88 kg 5 months ago
Currently 76kg .. I'm 175cm
I m wondering if I should lose more body weight or should I bulk now ?
Thanks in advance
Need follow ur tdee for some time. Than. Add surplus +300cal
175cm is very short
*NO*
Progressive overload is not volume. frequency of training depends on recovery speed.
For me personally 22% body fat is WAY too high. I've always been lean and having more than 15% makes me feel fat
Bulking in summer>>>>
