I've been bulking for about 8 months now. I´ve gained 26 pounds and my lifts have improved. 3 months ago I made a deal with a trainer, he comes up with my weightlifting plan and monitors my fat percentage. During these 3 months I´ve gained about 11 lbs and according to measurements most of it is in my thighs, I´ve added about 2.5 inches to my thighs. But, I´ve also gone from 14,7% bodyfat to about 16% and as i said before:
Weight gain: 11 lbs
Thighs: +2,5 inch
Bicep: + 0,4 inch
Chest: +0,4 inch.
Looking at old pictures I really don´t see any difference aside from fat. Now I have no muscle definition and really don't look fit. I hate that, I want to be able to see the veins and see muscle definition. Then again I don´t want to cut down and just look weak and feel the time hasn't really come for cutting down.
Then again, as I said before, I´m not happy with the results and I wonder if I should bother bulking up more, it really isn't doing anything for me other than adding fat (about 60% I´d say).
Should I continue bulking and add a little more fat and just put up with hating my body for a while? Or just accept that it isn't going too well and aim for that fit look? I really want to just look good and wanted to add a little more size before cutting (to look decent when i cut). During these 8 months Ive gone from 176 lbs to 202 lbs. I did steroids and during that time (at 185 lbs) I bench pressed about 300 lbs which is the same as now (at 202 lbs) So it's really all fat? What would be your advice? Bulk up for 1-2 more months and put up with being fat for a while? 16% bodyfat is really pushing it I think...
