King Marmoset’s Bulk = FAIL!

Yo!
YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today marks the last day of my scheduled weight gain tracker on this here web site. My plan was to grow by 10 lbs. Tis my first official "bulk". It didn’t go so well. King Marmoset will now detail what was learned (this might be common knowledge for everyone, but I’m just saying what I have verified first hand).
Pros: If you decrease your calories burned and greatly increase your calories consumed YOU WILL GAIN WEIGHT!! Of this there can be no doubt. Staying in a constant anabolic scenario will pile on the muscle and its ugly step-sister blubber. Within a few weeks I was up 6 lbs (mostly muscle).
Cons: If you are involved in an activity were speed, agility, and conditioning are your greatest assets then rapid weight gain isn’t for you. In fact, adding the weight and decreasing the cardio is a sure fire way to erode speed, agility, and conditioning. Regardless of how it all came together my game (hockey) completely disintegrated. My conditioning wasn’t were it should be and my extra high-speed gears were gone. I went from being one of the best players on the ice to being a giant, heavy, immobile tool in a flash. Some of my long time teammates actually asked me if I was sick. No, not sick. Just large and plodding. Very disconcerting this was.
In order to recover my game I had to get back to my regularly scheduled cardio. Within a short period of time (I’m talking 5 days) all the weight I had gained was completely stripped off. My game is much better now and I’m very happy about it! I started my bulk at 205 lbs and I’m ending it at 205 lbs. That is a bulk failure right there.
So, it looks like I can’t indulge in the classic body builder bulk and maintain my game. My new plan of action is a slow increase in mass while maintaining my conditioning level. If anyone has any tips or advice I’d love to hear it.
