What is bulking

[redrabbit]

I know that bulking is when you eat and eat and try to get yourself looking bigger.

I was wondering if you could list the stages of doing it, is it kind of like making yourself fat, but trying to turn the fat/food into muscle at the same time.

At the minute i am cutting, but intend to start bulking around August time, so i would like to get some facts first.

311 posts and you are asking this??? hmmmmm........


bulking is trying to gain as much muscle as possible. a clean bulk is trying to gain as much muscle as possible while putting on very little fat.

you cannot turn fat into muscle. doesn't happen. i would advise reading the stickies, they contain a lot of good information.

every1 blows that out of proporsion. i'm sure he didn't mean that i want the fat 2 magically transform into muscle. he probably meant that he wants to lose the fat and gain some muscle. which is basically changing fat to muscle. basically bulking is the part of body building where u make the gains by eating more and building the muscles, in this process you gain some fat which u get rid of in the cutting process.

a lot of people actually believe that fat can turn into muscle if you work out....

Well, i only ask because i seen someones post which said that he was worried about getting fat when bulking.

But you would only get fat if you eat loads and didnt train, right ?

In theory, if you ate well, and trained well, you should get bigger, muscle wise, and putting on the essential fat, as your size grows ?

if you bulk, you will probably gain a little fat. the trick is trying to keep the amount of fat gained low.
