Keeping Your Waistline Small While Bulking

[@paulbrewer6276]

Don't neglect the cardio when bulking! 10,000 steps etc

[@StrongandConditioned]

Yeah I totally agree however personally I had to rein that in as I was stagnating on the growth

[@paulbrewer6276]

@StrongandConditioned speaking from personal experience I piled on weight like crazy! So I keep an eye on things. But go on how I feel these days, not enough activity and I start to get sluggish.

Wide back gives a good optical illusion of a small waist

[@mattallthat]

Weight chins, heavy rows and deadlifts. It's all anyone needs for a hench back.

I cant help but think of Andy Robertson when I hear your voice 😅 Anyways, great content. Please keep going and know that I always look at you as an inspirational man.

The old timers (older than me) believed it took 5 lbs. of fat to build 1 lbs. of muscle. I don't recommend that. Bruce Randall supposedly did permanent health damage taking himself to 401 then dropping rapidly to 225. You are going to have to go a little soft, but don't let it get out of hand. Calculate your intake on current body weight and bump it up a bit. Then give your body time to adjust. If you're progressing you're eating enough. As you grow monitor your waist. If things slow bump it up a bit more. Also, EAT CLEAN. Bulking shouldn't be a junkfest. Don't be the guy that goes on a permanent bulk. It's a total pain in the ass but keep it under control. It's much better in the long run. 3 well balance, whole food, knife and fork meals w/ milk in between. Don't start w/ the traditional gallon. See where half a gallon gets you. Go raw milk if you can or at least free range, grass feed no steroids/hormones, in a glass bottle...yada...yada... Do easy low intensity cardio. Walking is good for this. You're trying to grow. You can't also be training for a marathon or doing high intensity intervals. Make sure you're on a program for natty's.

You’re on fire mate

[@shompt3269]

I heard high rep calf specific workouts are really good for metabolic control and fat loss

[@StrongandConditioned]

I need to control my metabolism

[@thechristate2010]

Are you done with the weights then Lee? Or have you just simplified your weight programme? You’ve put a lot of muscle on respect buddy!

[@StrongandConditioned]

No im still doing them. Just not with laser focus anymore if you get my drift
