Anyone else have bad fat storage genetics?

Its like as soon as i start bulking the first place to gain fat is my stomach and the abs get soft asf.
Soft abs but i have insane vascularity (shoulders, arms and quads) and striations on my shoulders too.

It makes it tough mentally when it comes to knowing when to stop the bulk

You will likely struggle to consistently add muscle if you are obsessed with abs. ;-)

Probably just the normal bloat/water retention associated with eating more. Fat doesn't come or go quickly. Water weight does. Don't be too quick to blame your genetics...

Gaining muscle is about being in a calorie surplus. If you are looking to gain muscle, you are going to add body fat. It is part of the process. Hope this helps. Generally 10-20 percent body fat is healthy.Personally I am even ok being in the 20-30% range because my goal is to be a strong powerlifter. Do what works for yourself and your fitness goals!
