Whatsup.
Im 16, and Ive been 1 year weight lifting , 6 months serious. The other six months were to learn the ins and outs of nutrition and a tad beyond the basics and what goes where and when (although I do realize it is a never ending quest of knowledge).

Ok: What I still do not get, is *when* to start bulking? I gain mass incredibly easy, unfortunately the same goes with fat.
For someone like me, *when* can I bulk? Ive searched and I have come up with people that diet dead until they are down to 4%bf, and then they bulk to make 50/50 gains, and theyll end up with +10# muscle @ 8%bf.
I do not think that would be too healthy for someone my age, not that I would want to.
When is it reasonable to bulk? Should you really even consider serious lifting if youre anywhere above 15%?
2) I know you cannot set two different goals at once (burn fat and gain muscle@ once) but why is it that in books like Body For Life do they portray this as possible?
Sorry for the naiveness, but other sources have not satisfied my queries.
Alright, thanks.

You probably don't want to hear this, but you should not even be considering using AS at your age. Too many problems can arise!!

Who the hell said I was considering AS?
Sorry if i gave you the wrong idea. I wasnt meaning bulking with as or anything.
I just mean in general.
Or is bluking the term specifically referred to as "When under AS self medication"?

Nah, bro, they probably just assumed since we're on the "Anabolics" board that you meant with juice...

Now, to the question at hand...if you're under around 10% bodyfat, I say BULK TO ALL HELL, and now (winter-time) is the best time to do it!! And esp. at 16, you're metabolism is most likely pretty good, you just have to make sure you know how many calories (protein) you need to gain a lot of muscle and just a little fat...

Concentrate on heavy compound lifts (powerlifting stuff) and a few other auxillary exercises per bodypart, and don't hit a bodypart more than 1-2 times/week...

Any other questions, send 'em my way via e-mail...HAPPY GROWING, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
