Says who? Not EVERYONE is exactly like you dude.
Now, now.....let's not get nasty....al I said was you won't be LARGE without getting a little bit chunky during bulking....just a matter of science....I never said FAT, in fact, I am very against getting fat to gain muscle.......but, it's virtually impossible to put on a nice chunk of mass and hold on to the abs....finding that out the hard way.......I'd rather go by bf% than waist size.....NEVER higher than 12%............

I'm not being nasty. You offen tend to post with a "my word is the almighty" attitude. The common theme in your replies is if you can't do it no one else can.

Considering that I can fit into 30" (@~7%BF) waist pants easily 32 is a "bulky" for me. I'm 5' 9".

Tell me why (if you precisely "calorie count") you can't gain muscle without raising BF above 10%?

OR, it's just interrepted that way....I'm far from almighty..........anywho, I've just never seen it done.....if you can do it, you got great genetics....I eat very clean, all the time, and that's my biggest downfall.....all the guys my bro hangs with that compete, eat whatever, bulk big time and then shred up......it's just too hard the other way, but give it a shot........
 
I wish I had great genetics. My father's side of the family tends to be "chubby". I doubt it's a cultural issue either like the American obesity epidemic because I'm from Brazil. Other then my recent medical set back (which I'm now recovering from) that set me back in my training and diet I always have to work very hard to stay at 7-10% BF. Even so I find it very possible to do it while gaining muscle.

Sorry to hear about your condition...........are you still 155lbs? You'll see what I mean....it's a lot easier to be very skinny and maintain 7%bf, but try and get to 190 or 200....then 215, 225.....that's where it gets fun.....you should be able to stay lean at least up to 180 and maybe more.....but, you got a ways to go bruh......eat up and don't worry so much about your %......

I suppose my goals are a little different. That may change in a the future. Right now I have no real desire to be over 165-170 7-8% BF @ barely 5' 9". Last year I was 155 @ ~6.5% BF which was a personal accomplishment for me. I'm almost back there.
