I'm 6'2, 190lbs with a bodyfat of about 15% - I've been bulking for about 2 months now (gained almost 15lbs) ...I eat a lot but it's all clean for the most part....eating the same stuff as I'd be if I was cutting but twice as much of it..
When should I stop bulking and start cutting?

Where's the line between Bulking and simply becoming a Fat Ass?

Start cutting when you no longer feel hungry for the most part. Thats where your body seems to go out of its body-fat comfort zone.

I don't think that's a good indicator since I'm an ectomorph: I rarely feel hungry..even when I'm 150lbs.
The only way I've managed to gain some gain is by eating every 2-3 hours..and that entails eating when I'm not hungry.

i have a question regarding bulking...
finally i think i got a clue of how to eat, but how long do you guys have to wait on bulking phase till you start to see you face and body bloated???
i manage to gain 3 pounds last week, and now i am gaining 0,4 pounds everyday, could it be water retention?
so am i on the right track?

is it true that you can only gain 1 lb of muscle in one week?? anything else you gain is going to be FAT

maybe if it's your first week of bodybuilding and you're doing everything as a natural pro would- proper training, eating right, supplementing right, all that stuff then maybe you could gain a pound of muscle in your FIRST week or 2..

yeh exactly
so its even less than 1 lb
so basically...if you're gaining 1lb a week....then you're just gaining fat"If it helps them to justify why I am a pro and they are not, they will believe that I walk around with a blatter pack of test on an I.V. drip all day long" - Lee Priest

I woulda choked on my peanut butter/cheese/tuna sandwich if I hadn't finished it a while ago.
Heehehe.
I agree with Jolly - conversely, losing anymore than 1lb per week means you're most probably losing muscle with that fat.
Unless, of course, you have an array of chemicals at your disposal, lol.
