just a quickie about bulking!?

[massbuild]

600 calories in muscle, 3500 calories in fat!

When bulking people are told to eat 500 calories over maintenance a day, which adds up to 3500 cals a week over maintenance. This is said to gain you a pound of muscle, but if muscle is only 600 calories then are you not gaining fat instead!?

confused!? i no i am!

what is it that you don't understand?

u eat 3500 cals above maintenance over a week u gain a lb of body fat.realistically ud, b lookin 2 gain bout 3-4 oz muscle...not the full lb!!.thats assuming u havent been trainin long and ur natural.

 

[massbuild]

so when your bulking, every lb u gain is about 25% muscle and 75% fat?

what do you mean muscle is only 600 calories?? I don't understand the premise of your question....
