The main thing about bulking for me is getting fatter. It's really hard to be lean (I never was competition level just to clarify, but I think I had around 8/9% bf) and then see yourself getting fatter and fatter each week... It's been quite of a mental battle to not quit the bulk, cause even after I could appreciate the muscles growing quickly I just was like "I'm already a bit bigger, I could cut and I'd look way better than before". That was my thought almost every morning for the past 3 months.
@@vsrztoro5989 ask literally any athlete how they feel after seeing their body fat increase after a competition, then come back with your "shitty mentality" idea. It's hard to see your peak physique going aways, it's nice to be able to lift heavier but the way someone looks in cut isn't comparable to a bulk, if it was this way then Mr Olympia winners would've been around 15% bf.
Currently doing the first very strict reverse diet in my life: I'm adding about 50-100 kcal daily per week since Christmas. So far I haven't gotten any fatter which I would call an absolute success. I'm planning to do this until March and do a short cut afterwards.
adding 50 to 100 calories is virtually nothing and you will see no changes, because the sheer uncertainty in calculating calories let alone how many you burn is already WAY bigger than 100 calories and you burn more on accident very often. I must go at least 500 calories surplus if not more. I am talking purely from experience. Also if you haven't put on ANY fat at all, its also a red flag since its thermodynamically impossible to put on any muscle without putting at the bare minimum at least a bit of fat, which means you are not bulking at all. If on top of that you are only doing it until march you might as well not say you are doing any bulk at all, cause you will not be making any changes to your body whatsoever
@@enriquesuarez7113 How is it not? That's 500 kcal every day after 5 weeks. And putting on muscle is not my concern right now. I'm plenty muscular anyway. My problem before has been that whenever I was bulking I put on fat instantly. Now I'm trying to be clever about it. So far it works great.

Great video, I've always found timing ya bulk over winter (Xmas, new year are more fun on a bulk) and cutting just before your summer holidays... If you're not on Peds bulking makes you look jacked in a jumper and being cut is great for the beach :)
Started my gym journey 10 months ago. Lost 2.5Kg in 2 months, then I started bulking, gained 7Kg and I can assure some of them are clearly fat :D Training a lot + eating a lot = addiction I need to break this vicious cycle sooner or later
Remember to eat nutritious food brother. I have dirty bulked in the past and for me and the majority of people it is the most stupid thing one could do. It is much harder, enjoyable and healthier to eat clean
I’m an Ectomorph and I personally saw the most progress during my first bulk when I was at a 1,700 calorie surplus or 4,450 calories a day. It was a semi clean bulk and I gained 50Lbs within 9 months. After doing some calculations I gained 28.9 LBs of muscle and 21.1 LBs of fat.
Excellent video! Can you make a video of what to do after bulking? You already gain muscle, but how do you cut fat and get a defined look maintaining all the muscle you gained in your bulk
Two and a half years ago, I weighed 140 pounds and 14% bodyfat and had a goal of weighing 155 pounds with my bodyfat in the low double digits. I've been bulking during the winters and cutting in the spring. I had a fitness assessment done 'bout a week ago and I'm up to 166 pounds and 11.5% bodyfat. That puts my BMI at 26 which makes me overweight. My problem is that I have to keep buying new shirts. I'm thinking of trying for 170 pounds and single digit bodyfat maybe by next year.
BMI is bullshit it's for the average weak ass potato american, and it's created by the american health industry which does not give a single fuck about your health.

@@davisimon7786 Actually I have eaten less protein, carbs and fats than my maintaining. I eat like 2500 kcals per day. 100g protein, 80g fats and 300-350g carbs. I fish to eat at least 150g of protein per day, but it`s very hard.
I have been eating the protein I need (about 160g per day) for about a month now. I have not gained fat but have gained muscle. I'm a newbie, I only started gym 3 months ago. I don't count calories, I only focus on the protein. I eat chicken broccoli rice twice a day and another meal in school, with other stuff in between like eggs.

Everyone feels too small when they cut, and too fat when they bulk. I’ve resorted to looking decent and feeling great year round, 15% body fat like Picture Fit says is the good middle ground 👌🏽
I started out with 33% body fat but I am now at 22% but I want to gain more muscle. Would I have to do more overload in weight training if I want to gain more muscle? Just looking for good advice ✌🏼
Make a good weekly program which targets every muscle twice per week. For example push/pull/legs. Progressive overload every exercise, do reps of 8-12 according to what exercise are you doing. Rule of thumb, if you can do 12-15+ reps, increase the weight. Also involve as much protein and complex carbs as possible in your diet and drink lots of water through the day
Can someone pls help me because I didn’t understand why I should start bulking if my bf is 24% I want to get big and I don’t want to start a diet and then just bulk I want straight to bulk ?
I gained roughly 10 to 8 pounds of muscle with just 6 months of working out and it was a lean gain had a six pack the whole time I never worry too much about fat I was just trying to get bigger and stronger for football but a good diet a workout program and I got a great gains in lean mass. I don’t believe in bulking but I like your informative content.
My biggest problem is that a slight surplus and a slight deficit only seems to be a range of 800 calories, based on a maintenance calculation that is already inherently imprecise with the added complications that even slight variations in diet and even walking on any given day can slingshot you over or under such a fuzzy target. It’s exhausting to try and determine any of this.
Body weight scanners are usually very inaccurate and only good for measuring how your body fat % changes rather than getting an accurate estimate. Especially true for women.

I started out as 67 kilo. At 1.92cm/6.4 feet. Very weak and light, started bulking over a very long time and my hevyest i weight so far was 79,9 kilo. And was 14% body fat. Now… I am stil skinny. But… I can’t forget where I came from. So far I am doing great, telling my self that is pretty hard knowing that I am stil not as big as I would like. But… stil getting bigger😎 can’t forget that
Not sure that's what I want. I've been thin my whole life and I like being that way, it's really a part of my identity. But I do want to build muscle, to be atractive, being muscular thin. If bulking is more about becoming big with not only the muscles but also the fat, that's not something I want. I like being skinny, I just need some more muscles mass
Im 14 and my bmi is 17.4 the calculator sais im healthy and nornal but im pretty tall for my age 179cm so idk if i should bulk, i go to the gym but I want better results
I am currently 15, 80kg BW and my bodyfat is at about 12%, I want to build more muscle, and I am willing to go on a cut after the bulk? Should I go for it?
Is bulking recommended for me ? I was 88 kg 5 months ago Currently 76kg .. I'm 175cm I m wondering if I should lose more body weight or should I bulk now ? Thanks in advance
I'm at 23% but still want to put on some muscle first. Bit cause getting into food tracking is easer with more calories and building the habits and disciplined for when I cut back
my friend can you please tell me how can I target every muscle group twice a week while training 3 to 5 times a week, won't targeting every muscle group need 6 days a week
This is an unpopular opinion, but I think bulking in the summer is by far the best. It’s easier to get sunlight and keep your testosterone high, which is perfect for building muscle in the winter time. Sunlight is pretty sparse in some areas which is going to negatively affect your sleep And motivation and by extension your gains. furthermore, in the summertime, the pressure/desire to stay lean is going to make it easier for you to stick to your diet because you don’t have a fluffy sweater to hide under if you take that extra helping of food
The only thing is, working outside and being super hot in 100+ degress will make you nauseous and feel bad but if its cool enough where you live than i agree
@ yeah 100%! Nothing helps temperature regulation on a hot summer day like being in a long-term deficit and drinking a lot of cold water 😂 I generally fast for the first few hours of the day, too. Always cold.
How long should i bulk? I’ve been bulking for two months and when I started gaining fat I stopped and started cutting and I feel like I’m losing my gains .
You should bulk usually around 8-12 weeks if not longer, getting fatter is natural. When cutting you’re gonna initially lose glycogen and water in the muscle making you look a bit smaller rather quickly after starting the diet. Once you get to your desired weight and increase to maintence cals/eat more carbs you’ll see just how much muscle you gained into the bulk
Great video, although I'd say that the mirror is more reliable than BMI. BMI is one of the most flawed measurements there is (with tons of problems already from its conception/invention) and it should be thrown away in anything fitness or health related as soon as possible.
I agree that is flawed. It does provide information accounting for both height and weight which can be effective. The categories, not so much, especially for someone with lots of muscle mass. I would say it is at least a better metric than a mirror since we're comparing quantitative vs qualitative.
@@PictureFit I like that you took into account that people with a good amount of muscle mass can't really rely on BMI. For me it is easier to bulk up until I see my abs disapeer and then cut again, than use BMI (as it considers I am obese, for instance). However, BMI also has a lot of issue with different ethnicities, bone structures and the like, that is why I really dislike it. Its shady origin (an analisys of only people from a handful of European countries) doesn't fit with the natural bodies of a lot of people around the world. I understand and respect your general point of quantitative vs qualitative, even though I do not agree with this particular use case. Also, thanks for taking the time to respond
Just start eating more than what you eat currently, estimate your weight through a week span and see if it goes up or down and if it goes up, keep doin what your doing. But of course this doesn’t mean just eat whatever you want whenever, make sure your getting in a high amount of protein.
while i think i am a little fat still at 78kg 182cm my ribs/abs are showing and friend says he looks at me and he thinks im a little over 10bmi and calc says 23bmi. while i dont believe i really have that much muscle (especially since i dont lift crazy numbers at all, no 100kg bench yet, no 200kg dl altho it might be fairly close with bad form and belt 1repmax) i dont think i really have that much fat either. i guess i should go check it out on a machine, if i even care that much
like my 6pack is showing fairly well but the last 2 bottom abs dont yet cuz that where theres still some fat. apparently i should have 8pack at low body fat %
@@reportteemo4690And then, there are people like me. Who are 75kg 178 cm. Training abs for a year. 0. I am happy you have shredded abs at your position. Your parents took good care of your physical wellbeing.

@@Yooooooman I’ve been taking 5grams for the past 8 days and I see great results already with 5g ima stick to it for atleast 30 days and if I notice it working well I’ll continue it
So i am 141lbs. And 5’6” my bmi is 22.8 i used three different calculators and got that answer. Just started going to gym. Im not jacked looking by any means but should I not bulk and instead cut/maintain?
I stop training abs while bulking i have gain muscle in arms chest etc .im not sure if its because i stopped training my abs but i have gained belly fat also
help! As a beginner who’s 20% bf which year = more gains (6m low deficit losing 0.33kg per week+6m lean bulk) or (3m higher deficit losing 0.66kg per week+9m lean bulk)
the math doesnt check out with the g of protein per kg and lbs , but good effort on trying , or you potentially read two different papers that suggest those amounts and didnt realise that they are suggesting significantly different amounts
the source of protein doesn't matter? so how you will get aminos? glutamine? carnetine? creatine? iron? and etc.... . the right nutrition and supplement are the up most key for building muscle, specially if you are pushing your self. its best to get your protein from beef and meat. otherwise you have to take so many supplements.
For most, you probably don't need that high of a surplus. I wouldn't call it "dirty" since that usually means you're not counting at all. It's a decent surplus that might lead to a bit more fat gain than a lower one.
More vids coming this year. Stay tuned!
Uhh!
Better be, you've gained a new sub :)
@PictureFit When are we going to continue our journey on Dark soul?

But… I can’t forget where I came from. So far I am doing great, telling my self that is pretty hard knowing that I am stil not as big as I would like. But… stil getting bigger😎 can’t forget that
looking for tips for a 6ft2 male looking to gain 10kg of body weight while having most of the mass gained being muscle.
Can't wait on Greg's response
Not sure that's what I want. I've been thin my whole life and I like being that way, it's really a part of my identity. But I do want to build muscle, to be atractive, being muscular thin. If bulking is more about becoming big with not only the muscles but also the fat, that's not something I want. I like being skinny, I just need some more muscles mass
Im 14 and my bmi is 17.4 the calculator sais im healthy and nornal but im pretty tall for my age 179cm so idk if i should bulk, i go to the gym but I want better results
I'm 15 and was skinny asf, Just started my bulking journey 6 months ago and I can see differences.
I am currently 15, 80kg BW and my bodyfat is at about 12%, I want to build more muscle, and I am willing to go on a cut after the bulk? Should I go for it?
Video was soo good. Make sure to check the TDEE link.
Progressive overload is not volume. frequency of training depends on recovery speed.
Is bulking recommended for me ?
I was 88 kg 5 months ago
Currently 76kg .. I'm 175cm
I m wondering if I should lose more body weight or should I bulk now ?
Thanks in advance
Need follow ur tdee for some time. Than. Add surplus +300cal
175cm is very short
*NO*
What about what to eat when bulking?
I'm at 23% but still want to put on some muscle first. Bit cause getting into food tracking is easer with more calories and building the habits and disciplined for when I cut back
Amazing
As a young teen should i bulk for wrestlign?
You can progressive overload without increasing volume, you simply increase intensity/more weight with same volume.
my friend can you please tell me how can I target every muscle group twice a week while training 3 to 5 times a week, won't targeting every muscle group need 6 days a week
But if I am three years bulking I will get fatter and fatter each day or I need to find a proper weight and maintain there?
This is an unpopular opinion, but I think bulking in the summer is by far the best. It’s easier to get sunlight and keep your testosterone high, which is perfect for building muscle in the winter time. Sunlight is pretty sparse in some areas which is going to negatively affect your sleep And motivation and by extension your gains. furthermore, in the summertime, the pressure/desire to stay lean is going to make it easier for you to stick to your diet because you don’t have a fluffy sweater to hide under if you take that extra helping of food
The only thing is, working outside and being super hot in 100+ degress will make you nauseous and feel bad but if its cool enough where you live than i agree
@ yeah 100%! Nothing helps temperature regulation on a hot summer day like being in a long-term deficit and drinking a lot of cold water 😂
I generally fast for the first few hours of the day, too. Always cold.
my BPI stands at 21, I want to let it be between 15 and 21, guess lean bulking is something I should
How long should i bulk? I’ve been bulking for two months and when I started gaining fat I stopped and started cutting and I feel like I’m losing my gains .
You should bulk usually around 8-12 weeks if not longer, getting fatter is natural. When cutting you’re gonna initially lose glycogen and water in the muscle making you look a bit smaller rather quickly after starting the diet. Once you get to your desired weight and increase to maintence cals/eat more carbs you’ll see just how much muscle you gained into the bulk
Long time no see
Great video, although I'd say that the mirror is more reliable than BMI. BMI is one of the most flawed measurements there is (with tons of problems already from its conception/invention) and it should be thrown away in anything fitness or health related as soon as possible.
I agree that is flawed. It does provide information accounting for both height and weight which can be effective. The categories, not so much, especially for someone with lots of muscle mass. I would say it is at least a better metric than a mirror since we're comparing quantitative vs qualitative.
@@PictureFit I like that you took into account that people with a good amount of muscle mass can't really rely on BMI. For me it is easier to bulk up until I see my abs disapeer and then cut again, than use BMI (as it considers I am obese, for instance). However, BMI also has a lot of issue with different ethnicities, bone structures and the like, that is why I really dislike it. Its shady origin (an analisys of only people from a handful of European countries) doesn't fit with the natural bodies of a lot of people around the world. I understand and respect your general point of quantitative vs qualitative, even though I do not agree with this particular use case. Also, thanks for taking the time to respond
I am 17 / 6'3 / 194lb / 20% body fat and i want to bulk but i dont know how
Just start eating more than what you eat currently, estimate your weight through a week span and see if it goes up or down and if it goes up, keep doin what your doing. But of course this doesn’t mean just eat whatever you want whenever, make sure your getting in a high amount of protein.
@@SunnyLaraJr. thanks for the advice
Eat carbs for weight gain
are ur vidoes well researced? im trying to find a relaible source of gym information
If this helps, I recommend Sean Nalewanyj and Mario Tomic
@@lovegutierrez3946 thank you
What to do next after bulking?
Then you cut or maintain
Just started my first bulk after a cut, im doing it clean lessgo
How’s it going?
Thank you
My bmi is 22.7 that means I can bulk right?
while i think i am a little fat still at 78kg 182cm my ribs/abs are showing and friend says he looks at me and he thinks im a little over 10bmi and calc says 23bmi. while i dont believe i really have that much muscle (especially since i dont lift crazy numbers at all, no 100kg bench yet, no 200kg dl altho it might be fairly close with bad form and belt 1repmax) i dont think i really have that much fat either. i guess i should go check it out on a machine, if i even care that much
like my 6pack is showing fairly well but the last 2 bottom abs dont yet cuz that where theres still some fat. apparently i should have 8pack at low body fat %
@@reportteemo4690And then, there are people like me. Who are 75kg 178 cm. Training abs for a year. 0.
I am happy you have shredded abs at your position.
Your parents took good care of your physical wellbeing.

So i am 141lbs. And 5’6” my bmi is 22.8 i used three different calculators and got that answer. Just started going to gym. Im not jacked looking by any means but should I not bulk and instead cut/maintain?
I was unable to bulk past 78kg mark, so I gave up. And now am cutting, to get rid of my baby fat on my face, to try looking better in the summer.
olive oil, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, whole eggs, naans, honey, whole milk
there’s plenty of ways to get more calories in brother
Shit, I didn't wanna bulk even when I was sub 10%. I feel like shit and still have veins shooting out everywhere after gaining 30 lbs
I’m cut , doing the bulking process right now , slowly increasing my protein & calorie intake , I must say It’s uncomfortable but I want my dream body

Hi i'm small guy 87kg 17 years old do u have bonus tips for me? I need to bulk at least 3kg

help! As a beginner who’s 20% bf which year = more gains (6m low deficit losing 0.33kg per week+6m lean bulk) or (3m higher deficit losing 0.66kg per week+9m lean bulk)
Is eating 50g soya chunks daily bad for body?
Can u explain what is harder to build muscle being skinny or fat , and thank u for the work loving what u doing
It's probably harder the faster your metabolism is.
What would you say for someone who is skinny fat?
the math doesnt check out with the g of protein per kg and lbs , but good effort on trying , or you potentially read two different papers that suggest those amounts and didnt realise that they are suggesting significantly different amounts
the source of protein doesn't matter? so how you will get aminos? glutamine? carnetine? creatine? iron? and etc.... . the right nutrition and supplement are the up most key for building muscle, specially if you are pushing your self. its best to get your protein from beef and meat. otherwise you have to take so many supplements.
According to my calculations I’m eating around 700-1000 calories more than my maintenance calories, is that dirty bulking or clean bulking?
For most, you probably don't need that high of a surplus. I wouldn't call it "dirty" since that usually means you're not counting at all. It's a decent surplus that might lead to a bit more fat gain than a lower one.
@@PictureFithonestly I’m just happy if I gain weight 😂
