I've been wondering and like so many other newbies I got confused. This is where in formation from a trustworthy source is needed to keep us on the right track. I know not to let this confuse me anymore and stick to my plan. Thanks Ed for sharing your thoughts on this matter. I’ve been wondering and like so many other newbies I got confused.

The bulking concept was something I've been looking into for about a good 2 hours. It seemed to make no sense to me! I'm a construction worker. I've never torn down a whole building just to remodel the front porch! Sounds like what bulking is! I'm building muscle to speed up my matabolism, to burn fat and get my bmi down. Bulking sounds like the opposite! Now I know what to do! Thanks Superman! I have no intention to compete, except for against myself and time!

"Bulking"? Just seems like making more work for yourself. Thanks for having the guts to come out and say it. Eating a little extra when building more muscle makes sense. "Bulking"?

I went from 209 to 205 last month now it's my second months trying to lose those 3 years of smoking-and-doing nothing-and-being depressed . Now I feel better of course , and I don't smoke anymore (I prefer green tea) , but I want those 6 pack and there is so many nutrition advices that I don't even know what to do . I've cutted the carbs a little bit , but at least to days a week I eat real white rice and real pastas , but I'm still losing some weight(I train 6 days a week) . Well to put it in a nutshell , my question is : what I'm supposed to do with all I read ? Because sometimes it scares me , sometimes it makes me lose patience , and sometimes I gives me strength but people comments say that it's "bull****" . :'( Thanks for your help Hi there ,

I can see in the mirror that I have a bunch of body fat to loose. I could be cutting like crazy and then dial everything in for a contest. I have decided to keep training hard and make monster gains at the same time I loose bf. If I can at least maintain my weight and switch my bf for solid mass, I will be happy. The only thing that is ticking me off is that my arms are taking forever to grow. I am also fighting with sleep patterns that I know are not in my best interests. Thanks for the inspiration!

It's better to have slower progress to gain mass than gain a bunch of fat and have to cut in my opinion, and much better for your health.

To me a "Buliking Phase" creates more unwanted fat thean muslce gain. To me, eating enormous amounts of whatever, just to gain weight, is no way to ensure pure muscle gain in a specified amount of time. I completely agree with you on this.
