I Got FATTER, But Look Way BETTER

- how I gained nearly 5lbs in 2 weeks (most is probably water) but some of it is certainly bodyfat; However, it happened in a way where from the chin down I feel like I look way better and more aesthetic!

I have seen this with myself too. When I get close to 6-7% body fat I look more shredded but everything is deflated. But now that I am closer to 10-12% body fat my abs pop out more. Even though I am "fatter" than my summer version. Also, the added strength is just a cherry on top.
Abs benefit from bulking, they are a muscle. To get great abs you work the abs!
6%? jesus dude are you competing or something?
@@JohnFartblast add 5% to that, people online say always claim 3-5% leaner
@JohnFartblast Jesus Christ loves you and died, rose from the dead, and ascended to heaven to pay for your sin! Turn to Him and you will walk in light and be saved. Read the book of John and Luke to see God's love for you!
@biohazard9503 Ever had striated glutes?
I like keeping a longer beard when I’m putting on weight. Really helps putting my worries about jawline/face leanness at ease
Perfect timing. I’m in my first bulk right now, currently doubting it because of the belly I’m getting and I overall don’t really feel good. You made me realize it’s definitely the sugar. They’re just cheap and easy calories but they go to all the wrong places
Just try to be in at 250 cal surplus every day that way the fat won’t get out of control. It can be tough if you balloon up too far to come back down. Good luck

This is so accurate. I feel like muscles love having extra water/glycogen available and when fat surrounds it, it looks great
2:49 This is it, all the challenges have taken a toll on your progress you need to stick to a program for at least 8 weeks to see significant adaptation. Love your vids ❤
Try replacing will power with “why” power. When you try to do something with will power, you frame it in your mind as though you are depriving yourself of something. But if instead you sit down and write out a list of why you want cut down or bulk up and picture the end result you want, every time you choose not to pig out or every time you force yourself to get that extra workout or those extra calories in, you’ll feel like you’ve taken a step closer to your goal. That dopamine hit will spur you on, especially as you start noticing results.
🔥🔥🔥
A very solid method that works for me!
@@nickdutton6218 if you can implement this and mindfulness together, it’s insane how effective it can be. Keep at it, my friend!
Daaang
Fuck yeah farmboy bulk let's GOOO
Also a bonus tip, maybe try to enhance training as well? Weighted Calisthenics, pumping iron, whatever it may be stay consistent with a specific program for the entirety of the bulk and make the weight go up each week/each session.
Fuck all those challenges if they prevent you from being consistent lol, vlogs and updates of the farmboy bulk would be just as good if not better in my opinion.
Hey bro it be really cool for you to try like a sprinting for 20 days challenge especially during the bulk. The anabolic effects are insane! It might help you put on more lean mass
I hope u read this. Pls make a vid about ur vo2 max.
Great suggestion 👍
@@reamartin6458, thank you man.
was about to comment this thing!
sprinting releases wayyyyyyyyyyy more hg than any other exercise!
I've been dealing with a debilitating back injury since the summer and it's a mf bro. You never realize how delicate your ability to do daily activities is. One serious back injury and boom! You can't even walk. The best way to rehab it is to keep a barbell from compressing as much as possible until you're fully healed. I recommend fully replacing back squats with BELT SQUATS (at least until you're comfortable reloading the spine and then slowly reintroducing the barbell). I've done them in place of back squats for a few months and I think, if anything, I've gotten stronger in the squat. Your back is important. Take the compression off for a while.
I hope you feel better soon. Good tips
Saturated fats are required for Testosterone production and its healthy if from grass fed beef or grass fed butter or similar quality.
Currently going through a similar experience. I hit my goal of single figures body fat percentages by cutting out fats, reduced carbs, and increased protein. I looked so shredded!!
Now that I've eating a higher calorie balanced diet for about a month, I have noticed my weight has increased quite a bit (I can definitely see the stretch marks returning lol) and my body fat percentage is now around 13%, but yet my abs look rock solid especially when I flex them!
The main thing I've noticed is cognitive focus has shot up massively. I would always need a calculator to work out basic maths, but now I can figure out percentages with ease and I'm a bit thrown back at the difference a bit of extra fat in my diet can do!
Yeah fats are really important and don’t cut out food groups
Keep going with the bulk🫵💪🔥😎 don't stop big bro❤
I love your videos and thanks to you I know have a bigger monthly vitamin bill 😂
Honestly though, as a woman in her mid forties, taking NAD+, NAC, MSM and a few others have been non-negotiable-game changers.
Bro love your content
same here. im hovering around 89.85 to 90kg and although i still have a fair bit of body fat from previous less than optimal weight gain now even though im hovering around 90kg i feel like im holding it better too, even seeing a slight shape starting form on my upper ab area.
I have experienced the same. Yes it’s calories in and calories out but the food quality matters. If you cut out most of the processed sugars and refined carbs and omega 6 „seed oils“ that are in all of these and replace it with more animal fats you’re not nearly regaining as much water and feel more energetic and overall better on a bulk.
Same. Your body really starts doing it's thing when you feed it and you're not in survival mode. Bulking during the winter really is the way too, because of all the feasting we do during the holidays.
The bulk supports the workout. I feel like garbage while I cut, but lifting hard and heavy on a bulk feels great. IMO 17-20%BF is the sweet spot for lifting as you have plenty of "Material" to work with, feel good, and can actually eat.
Video 16 of asking:
Next challenge: run a full marathon 🏃♂️
You should try training forearms and neck on the off day since it’s really low fatigue but personally I find it hard to take true rest days when I’m bulking so I like doing a few smaller muscle groups I don’t really hit during my normal training sessions just a thought
I train forearms once a week and have made noticeable gains,
3x deadhang tô failure
3x reverse curls to failure
3x wrist curls to failure
2x60 second suitcase carry
Such a chill video
You kind of remind me of callum powell, bigger but still with alot of mobility and agility. definitely my dream physique
Sugar is your worst enemy. I strongly believe that exercising, the point of it, is to be physically and mentally healthy. Hence a good and healthy diet with regular exercise you become a new person. Avoid alcohol, avoid sugar, avoid processed foods and carbs, sleep right, It will become a lifestyle, just part of you. Your capacity of work will improve, it will just help in so many ways. I was weighting 245pds a year ago. Now i am 188 pds of solid muscle and strength. What I've just wrote is based in my own experience. Still learning and enjoying the process.
When you cut you should only do a 500 cal. reduction. Same with bulking, you should only do a 500 cal increase. It's easier to make little adjustment up or down then having to go on a large decrease in cal. for reducing. I've gain 5 lbs. in the past 2 weeks also but I'm only doing a 500 cal. increase to my maintenance calories. If I stray away from my maintenance weight too far, all I have to do is go back to my maintenance calories for about 3 days and do some walking. I've been doing some 5x1 and then 5x5's lately as an experiment for chest right now.. I've notice my strength increasing and I'm still in the same hole on my belt that I was in when I was 5 lbs. lighter. I also alternate a high carb day(200g) low fat day(30g) high protein(200g) with the following day of low carb(30g) hight fat(125g) and the same protein(200g). I lift on my high fat days. I have plenty of energy. My channel shows how I look now.
Yeah when I saw the 1000 surplus I freaked out, I’ve done at least five or six in my career and I’ve never done 1000 surplus… But then again he’s not looking to get on stage
i was going to say the same thing, if you bulk at 1000kcal surplus, it's normal that you're going to get fatter, at a faster rate. With a 400-500kcal surplus, you may even put the same amount of fat and muscle, mantaining the BF percentage relatively the same (since the fat and muscles are increasing at the same rate)
You should do a nucleus overload/ overtrains workout vid
You should do a video on the Solfeggio Frequencies and see if it helps with healing and recovery from exercise, or mind muscle connection.
Yessir! Swole Andrew Garfield lol. Keep up the hard work man!💪🔥
I look so much more jacked with an extra 10 lbs of fat on my body. I've definitely noticed this aswell. Its honestly hard to maintain a higher body fat percentage for me, usually the only way I pull it off is if i drink half a gallon of milk a day ontop of my diet. It's mostly because my extremely physically demanding job I must burn atleast 3000 calories a day but add a weight lifting session as well.
Trust the bulk👌

@@EvenWaterRunsDeepwhy would anyone care about you imposing your subjective values onto others?
Hey your face looks fine, chill out 💛
I’d just like to thank you for being a nice person
Very informative ❤
Love the idea of a mobility day
That opening 🔥🔥🔥
Trying to finally beat that grip/squeeze test
nice bro. i think ill do something like this. my dirty bulk is killing my joints.
Great video
Pretty soon you’ll be the natty Jujimufu. Don’t ever give up the mobility 💯
This dude is bro science manifested in the flesh
best youtuber hands down, btw if you like talking about food, add that more in your videos, but if you want of course, i will watch them anyway papa
I think you should consider RP style training, and of course find your MRV and choose sets and reps from there. I think training Yates style would be foolish as you are natural and progression and tracking would be difficult. Also I think you should have a consistant training plan as you seem to change it up far to often and I believe that has stopped you from accruing a large amount of gains.
What app are you using to track your calories?
When I fast I feel like I retain water, but when I eat as soon as I wake up and eat every few hours throughout the day my muscles pop and I feel like I look leaner from eating more calories.
You inspired me to go to the trampoline park. It is the best!
your hair looks so good in this lol
can we get a breakdown of the mobility day?
I also am slowly bulking and definitely notice the same!
Im 8% bodyfat 87kg. You're Looking really good with added muscle
the lighting difference in the thumbnail is everything.
Right, sugar is hard to avoid in North America and not all understand that its worse than fat for the most part. I have eaten farmboy meals my entire life. No idea if it's been good for me or not but I also do a lot of cardio and other sports apart from strength.
Sugar isn't hard to avoid if you know how to cook and make each meal from scratch. It's only hard to avoid if you eat processed, packaged foods, which are typically junk to begin with.
This video was really helpful. I’ve been struggling with yo-yo-ing as well
You look way better, face and bod! ❤
you look AMAZING
You're training grip or forearms right?
Pls make a vid about ur vo2 max.
ready to watch
I dont think Mike or Dorian include mobility but think about it, on your rest days you can for sure do mobility or "fun" phisical activity like trampoline, surf etc
can't wait for the cut video in a couple months s
Lighting is the ultimate physique enhancer. Nothing costs less and makes more of a difference.
Wish people would just include their height when talking about weight (in relation to fitness/physique), cause it's so important.
I think it is the hydration that muscles need, makes them pop, and heavy. But it will not continue to be the case for long, you WILL START GETTING REALLY SOFT AND CHUBBY.
This is probably a sign for me to start bulking
Can you do a video on training the tibialis anterior? i've heared it can help with a lot of things, including running.
Away with ye knees over toes crap
Im 6 foot and at 200 and I feel fat haha. I look bigger in clothes...but I hate it bro. Also, you look great!!
Do a tradtional hypertrophy program with a bulk. Its kind of useless otherwise
What if you grew your beard out to hide the underchin during the bulk?
i think he should do more weight training in his program with bodyweight movements as a suplement
Greg doucette mentioned something in one of his latest videos about some water being in your muscle and so, “isn’t it still muscle?”
How much animal protein from 246gr you intake?
Had the same thing happen when my doctor had me put on weight. I look d way better even though I was heavier. Turns out being super lean, while impressive, doesn't necessarily look better than being a little bulked up.
Have you even done an experiment full body one set a day to failure ?
I'm kinda confused on this bulking thing, ive been bulking for the past 3 weeks, I try to eat 5 times a day and im always full, im wondering, how u guys go to the gym if your stomach is always full, I take the 2 hours off eating before the gym, but i need more time because im so full. The problem for me is being full all the time and bareley gaining weight, i track my kcal, I know its a slow process, but still... Btw, I cant go to the gym at morning because of school
Bulking for some of us really sucks. I'm in your boat. I have to eat at least 2700 calories a day to gain weight and it sucks because I always feel full and eating becomes a chore instead of a pleasure. And even then I won't gain much, and if work is stressful I won't gain anything at all. It sucks.
for real, I'm on the same boat as you@@Linkous12
Liquid calories digest faster than solid meals, so utilize shakes as much as possible. Having fat in your meals also slows digestion, while having fiber helps speed things through. If you keep your pre-workout meals to mostly whey shakes and a light salad, and then get the bulk of your fats and carbs in your post-workout solid meals, I think you'll feel a lot less full at the gym. And you'll probably have an easier time meeting your protein per day goals to boot.
You just have to grind trough it and stretch your stomach out, 2/3 months and you'll have space for the food no problem.
Is the bodypart the tibialis muscle ?
Carbs can and do reduce joint and muscle pain.
what things have you kept doing from all your videos
Do an agressive cut for 2-3 months. 1000 kcal under maintain or more, and eat 2-2.5g of protein per kg. easy fat loss
What a handsome guy.😘
The road to FULL has began
Lucas, do not waste your time (especially when bulking, the time is super-valuable during bulking especially). The body doesn’t need more than ~1g/kg fat in the bulking (and cutting too) diet (even FDA thinks this way, and they are super-conservative), all the fat above just gets stored for 100% (well, it’s more complicated in practice, but a good approximation). Go make you a DXA scan to measure your body fat and muscles precisely every month instead of guessing (well, almost precisely, but precisely enough), do high in carbs (if you think that sugar is bad, don’t eat it - although there is no much difference: all the carbs turn into glucose in the end, and also, there is nothing too bad in having more water in the tissue too; but you can eat some “healthy” carbs instead like potato/vegetables/oatmeal/whatever, you know). And please, please, don’t associate “cookies” and “cakes” with “sugar” - in cookies, the most of the calories and unneeded nutrients come from fat, not from carbs (check nutrients).
Also, bodybuilders recommend +10% calorie surplus when bulking (like +300 Cal). You go +1000, this is an overkill. You just store fat and shorten your bulking phase without having any benefits for muscle growth (muscles do not grow that fast, they are super-slow, even that +300 Cal surplus is absorbed hardly). This is all well-studied, no unknowns there.
I feel like you wanted us to think the secret part you're training is kegals, but maybe it's grip, tibialis, or neck or something random like serratus anterior.
11:33 We all know my man is hitting calves everyday until they grow. Been there brother
yo whats the app u used for the calories an shit
Thumb training?
can you do a 1 week challenge where you only move by jumping on 1 or 2 legs (maybe 1 leg is hard)
Bro science to the max 😂
Bro try one of omniman's programs. Look up his berserk method. You need a real program and good form on the compounds.
Lengthened partials as milo wolf explains.
I'm guessing he's training his wrist/forearm.
I've always thought you consumes too much fats imo, in relation to carbs and protein. When I was at my peak in regards to taking care of myself and lean bulking and I had discipline, I aimed for 50% carbs 30% protein 20%fats or something like that
In that leaner picture you showed you kinda look like KJ Apa LOL
Could you do a arm wrestling workout for a week.
For a new challenge you should definitely try bulgarian method for 30 days. It consist of just doing daily 1RM (without rest days) in multi-joint exercise. (Bench press, overhead press, deadlift, squat, weighted pull-ups)
What does rm mean
@@rylanlacroix9640in this case it stands for "1 Rep Max". So doing 1 rep of the highest weight you can do
@@rylanlacroix9640 one rep max which means the maximum amount of weight you can lift on one repetition
The Bulgarian method is more of a meat grinder that forces all but the most genetically gifted athletes out due to overtraining and injury. It's not really a sustainable training methodology for the average iron addict that isn't trying to win gold medals for the glory of their homeland.
Greetings from Chile, The Marmotas Crew, Groundhogs Bboys.
I started my bulk at the end of September and I am making huge strength gains rapidly and putting on a decent amount of muscle but all of the fat and I mean all of it goes straight to my stomach , nowhere else. Why is this and how long should I go for before I slim back down
Lmao same!
@alexklein455 how's it going? My stomach fat has stopped now and I'm getting muscle, still a belly from before but it's not getting any bigger, kind of a fair trade off you think?
@@Suumac_ yeah I'm the same now. Stomach staying about the same and gaining tons of muscle. I'm planning to cut heavy before summer.
@@alexklein455 also same, I am seeing huge strength gains though
You have the potential for stunning traps and neck muscles. Your pecs will follow the growth of you back on their own, it’s in your genetics.
From a physics standpoint 1k calorie surplus/day at 14 days is 14k calories. 3500 calories per lb that comes out to 4 lb. It doesn’t work out to be much water weight. Whether it’s muscle or fat it’s definitely solid weight gained. No hate just pointing out!
To the brilliant, funny and fit as f### Pigmie, I have to ask this one question: do you exercise to look your best by the pool, or to optimise your health and longevity? Cos for sure, bulking ain’t great for the latter. Be well big man.
Bulking can be great for health and longevity if an athlete is too lean to support healthy hormonal function, or if the athlete is unable to fulfill their nutrition needs on the number of calories needed to maintain an exotically lean physique. Anything between 10-20% body fat in males is going to be the sweet spot (for most) in terms of looking good, performing well, and being healthy. And so bulking and cutting within that 10-20% body fat margin is perfectly fine for health and longevity, provided it's done intelligently.
Noice plus first
man now i feel bad im 13 almost 14 and i weigh almost 250 a lot of that is probable mussel im 5 feet 11 inches and other then my teachers no one at my school so far has beat me at an arm wrestle
