Hey guys, I've been clean-bulking for about a month and 2 weeks now, eating 3500 calories daily with perfect macros and I've put on 25 lbs so far (137lbs/62,6k to 162lbs/73kg) but with the fact that I had cut completly my carbs and fat from my diet for 3 months prior my bulk.
Anyways my mother keeps saying I'll become a huge fat ass and that I'll have loose skin even if i cut.
I don't understand her, I tell her I'm going to cut slowly and make sure i only lose fat, still she doesent understand.
Can you guys tell me if I'm just shallow and don't see **** and my mom is right? I'm starting to worry since she bugs me without it everyday.
Here are some pics:

Looks great to me dude , dw bout parents their like that .. as long as you bulk properly your fine , lucky that you can bulk so fast.. it is most probably 60% but it is going to help you in some one or another before cutting , it takes me so much more time to bulk to your weight .. with the same calorie intake . good luckDont listen to the hatin ***s - Do your shi* and succeed with pride.
100% reason to remember the name.

In my experience most parents don't really know **** about nutrition. My mother used to think eating healthy just meant eating half of everything.. derp.
25 lbs in 6 weeks is a little on the high side, but that's up to you. personally I'd lower my calories to around 3200 and see what happens, but you need to figure that out for yourself.

your mother is partially right
you're gaining way more fat than muscle, it's pretty clear from your pics
in fact 24 lbs in 6 weeks is a lot, not clean bulk, it's like 2-3 pounds of muscle and 19 pounds of fat
you need to decrease calories. At your old weight you needed maybe 2400 calories not 3500
also when bulking you should always monitor your BF%
you don't want your BF% to be higher than 18% as, if you keep bulking, you might reach a BF were indeed lose skin, permanent new fat cells, insulin resistance become a problem. At 22% BF they already become a problem, you don't have to be obese. Your BF% is already 17% so you don't have much room to bulk expecially with such fast weight gain rate.
In my opinion most skinny-fat people need to suck it up, lose the excess fat, accept they will look skinny for few months, but skinny looks better than skinny-fat anyway, and then bulk slowly starting from a BF% of 11-12%. Even in your before pics you had more fat than that, around 14%.Last edited by JaredPunch; 05-26-2012 at 01:38 AM.

That is not a clean bulk. Gaining 25 pounds in 6 weeks is not a clean bulk. It's basically 22 pounds of water weight/fat and 3 pounds of muscle if you're lifting hard.
Your mother is sort of right. You might not be a 'huge fatass' or have trouble with loose skin but you are gaining unnecessary fat. Try to gain a pound a week. What you're doing is just making your eventual cut longer and harder.'People are gonna remember me as a god forever...

I have been negged by an ignorant fat piece of ****, (5.7 210 lbs lol) proving many people here are more interested in seeing the scale moving up than bodybuilding per se, meaning developing a good physique, eventually reaching low body fat and having great definition and mass. Some people are getting fatter and fatter for years hoping eventually they will be able to cut and look decent and they don't want to hear warnings against their fattening routine.
