Bulking if your BF% is higher than 15% is beyond fucking retarded
>>76732728Nah bulking to like 20 is good. Really strong in the 20-25% range. Dunno why I just am. Now i'm 15% or so and way weaker. Good idea to bulk to 20%+ and lift really hard for a year and make a good amount of gains.
>>76732791You're not 15 and you're fat as fuck keep coping
>>76732728I really really really like this picyou have the full HD image?
>>76732728At least bulk for a week and gymrat to joint fatigue, the fat you gain is rehydration youre not making much progress just being more bloated and pumped.
>>76732791Trying to minmax cutting on a bulk just ruins bmr if you want more mass you have to be a solid week into a bulk.
>>76732728I will cut when I hit my strength goals. I can't keep cutting every time I gain a few pounds of fat or else I will never make gains.
>>76733000>bench hard for monday and tuesday main>delts harder end of the week so you have some recovery days on chest>instead of rest days just do back/biceps>legs once or twiceYou can make progress in a week if you go nuts and are actually at a surplus, then just do 1-2 days of bulking after your bmr tanks and get protein synthesis to 100% asap so you gain muscle.
>>76732866Nah I'm easily 15%. 6'0 and 80kg. Keep raging.
>>76732728Peak bodybuilding is 12-18% Some dudes can handle 20, others should stop before 18%
>>76732728 (OP)Why do small weak nonlifters spend so much time trying to get others to be small and weak too? It's weird.
>>76733218this guy gets it
>>76733218>>76733576these guys get it.>36 years old, ride 14% during summer, would never risk going over 18% winter>actually maintainable, no testosterone crashes or muscle loss.
>>76733064post body.
>>76732728>1mo bulk>1mo cutSimple as
>>76733063>this is bulking/refeeding before cutsTo bulk you just kinda go nuts, fuck strength peaking you can just lower the reps while weaker. Ill usually lift for 6-14 days without resting more than 1 day im soon going back on a hard bulk. I actually got some bigger delts and im down some weight albeit up and down a few days and gaining mass essentially recomping weekly with bulk 1-2days to refeed.
>>76733218If youre legit weak the extra muscle if its more than just a carbed up pump(should be cutting with high enough carbs to put on strength) is very helpful to make faster progress. Also straight cutting without 1wk refeeds ruins your hormones and is why so many gigafatties have loose skin and 0 muscle gain. Faster progress(to be measured more bimonthly) just means your training has a higher cieling for results.
>>76733742>>76733744I'm struggling to understand these posts. Are you indian
>>76733064why mix units?
>>76733754Ok what do you want advice on from there thats hard to understand? All the other threads are beat so just copy+reply it.
>>76733218Im more worried about how long can you cut without losing too much yearky gains, and how low to cut to be efficient in keeping the subsequent bulk for longer.
>>76733819talk about height has been pretty Americanised because of the whole have to be above 6 foot thing sort of joke I think, I hate it when my friends talk about height in imperial units in aus,
Only people who were fat kids stress about this shit lol
>BMI 16>~25% bodyfat>29 cm calves, well below sarcopenic range cut-offs, 23 cm bicepsWhat do?
>>76732728You mean starting a bulk at 15% or bulk past 15%?If it's the latter, you're gonna stay small forever.
>>76732728But I do it anyway, because I like food and people don't fuck with me in public
>>76732728Bulking/cutting in its entirety is a meme. So long as your bf% is high enough,15% is good, and you eat enough, then that's all the surplus you need to grow muscle. Bulking just gives the illusion of putting on mass when really you're putting on more fat & water than anything. You're putting on the exact same amount of mass you would maingaining at your lean weight. It just doesn't look/feel as impressive cause you're not going through cycles of different placebo effects.
>>76732728Don't hard stop a bulk if you're on a roll for prs. Until maybe 18 or 19%. I wouldn't start a bulk above 15 but if tangible gains are happening do not stop the bus.
>>76733952very trueso many neurotic fucks on here have called me 'fat' when I've never been fat in my life, because they're so personally fixated on their own fatness. 'you bulk? you're a powersharter? you don't have a six pack? you weigh over 200? you're FAT!!!!' just constantly. You might as well call me a martian or something, being called fat is water off my back because it doesn't concern me. So I get the luxury of actually bulking and getting big since I don't have these hangups. Anyways.
