what's the point of bulking for gaining muscle?

[sardonicone]

Why? It's very easy to go from 145lbs to 180lbs naturally, all you really need to do is eat. It doesn't take much effort until you get over 200, like he mentioned.

I'd argue that point to the death.

IT took me two years of diet manipulation and heavy lifting to go from 110 to 147.

Keep in mind everones basal metabolic rate is different. Also keep in mind everyone has a genetic marker for their homeostatic weight level.

It can be exceedingly hard to break that barrier.

As is, I'm now back down to 130-135, and I already know the fight I'm in for when I start training again (in a few weeks)

That being said, I will gladly be taking all the advice I can from here.

sgtslaughter, you saying you gained 33 pound of lean weight without eating much at all and not much knowlege in just two years. Unless you are like 6ft you must be highly genetically gifted or highly chemically assisted to do that.

I went from 150 at 6ft 1" to 198 in 4 yrs on a regular healthy diet (its called hard work) I just cant stay over the 200 mark

Alright i will keep bulking like i used to...................im going to have a nice 1 pac and big sexy chuby bi's with layered lats and big puffy legs, but that all helped me gain tons of muscle underneath right?

If you did everything right it will

niccee that's why you are 6ft 1 and have a larger surface area for growing muscle. Im 5ft 7. 198 is not that amazing for a 6ft 1 guy. Congratz though, it was probably hardwork. I know from being an ectomorph.

I hope i don't become fat for nothing

 

[gettnlarge01]

I'm 5ft8 and weighed about 130lbs when I started training so think again.I'm only 210lbs now so I must have done something right.
