If you are bulking you will always put on a little bit of flab.

But as long as you keep it clean, you will put on a very small amount, if you eat without thinking about what you eat, the chances are you will gain fat.

Yes listen to pie_man above, keep your diet clean and yes you will put on a very small amount of muscle.

If your serious about youor goals in gaining mass, then you will need to log your food entries, somewhere like www.foodfocus.co.uk

Aim for 3000calories per day and check the scales every couple of weeks, aim for a 1lb per 2 weeks as begginers add mass quite quickly at the start (newbie gains) once you find your maintainence level add or subtract calories until your gaining small amounts. Avoid cardio for the first few weeks and find your feet with your calorific requirments.

Aim for 1-1/2g of protein per lb of bodyweight. this will ensure muscles are recieving a large amounts of munchies

Make sure you avoid bisciuts, white bread, any white flour based products as these will raise silly amounts of insulin that will not help in gaining good mass.

Work hard in the gym, make sure you carry out all the major compound lifts deadlift, squat, bench, OH press. This will produce bags of GH which with a good diet will see you grow like a weed

diet-training-grow no maths here, other than counting calories

If your after bulking I started: 13stone @ 6"5 now 2.5 years later I was at 19.7, just cutting now at 18stone.

I'll say one thing, eat eat and eat till you feel sick!

I used maltodextrin alot and worked very well, dedication is the only way. I'll post my old diet plans up later, I seem(ed) to only gain from the "less is more" way of thinking. Ultra heavy with compound moves

[jackm1]

A 4 pack is a wanna be 6 pack..... Yeah?
Listen you have to decide how serious you are about this, are you another Brad Pitt fanboy are do you actually want to look like you lift heavy ****.
If you want to build serious muscle it requires years of dedication and is quite an expensive lifestyle.

great post!
