So the less of a difference i notice in my physique, and the more weight I gain means that my bulk is a 'clean' one (clean means healthy, right?) and I had gained all muscle? The longer i bulk, means the more muscle i add (but fat also) so wen i go to cut, my muscles will be bigger looking?
How different does one look before and after a bulk and after a cut?
Like I want to bulk to 175-180 lb. I'm just worried that when i see I've gotten fatter more than muscular I'll be discouraged and ill cut. So i just wanna know what to expect to prevent that. first official bulk.

Yes clean means healthy.
To gain minimal fat, eat "clean" foods.My Powerlifting "Road To Manlet" Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172129323

Depends on how many excess calories you eat. Let's say your maintainence is 2500 and your end up eating 4000 then you can most likely expect to gain an excess body of fat, but let's say you eat 3000 and your maintenance is 2500 then you should be gaining most muscle minimal fat gain

Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.

I wouldn't expect you to gain any fat, since you aren't going to do it. Shockingly, you can't get fat by just asking the same questions over and over.
