How do I avoid the dreaded face bloat when gymmaxxing?

[Deleted member 18244]

Do you just have to go really slow with the bulking, not overdoing protein and not eating too much in general?

Or is there something else I’m missing? Is there no way to bulk up fast without fucking up my face?

creating is one of the biggest face bloaters, ofc high bf is gonna bloat your face too. just dont eat like a pig

Not a diet expert but my understanding is that bloating comes down to salt and carbs. Both hold on to and attract water. Both are major components of food. You need salt and (pretty much) need carbs, just gotta try and lower your intake of them while bulking compared to your normal diet.

That's not super easy since protein and fat fill you quickly and makes getting in calories hard. Salt is fucking EVERYWHERE.

I've also heard that drinking a lot of water (3-4 litres a day) will help - I don't understand the science of it though. Dandelion root is also a diuretic that could help but long term health effects aren't known.

Do cardio and lots of sets after main movements

Just accept your inceldom if your gymaxxing, go incel while you bulk and save for surgeries.

bro imma be real here how the hell would over doing protein cause face bulk its mostly bodyfat

 

[JamesHowlett]

Why do people create a false dichotomy between going to the gym and getting bloated? It’s literally just how much food you eat.

Solution: Don’t eat too much food.

Gaining bodyfat would also make your face more bloated.

I’ll try to go slowly and avoid salt and overeat but lean bulking is slow af

 

[StuffedFrog]

bulking is not dumb its a calculated risk in order to build muscle quickly

 

[StacyCorruptor]

dont bulk unless ur under 12% bodyfat, u dont need to gain muscle quickly like these subhumans tell u to

just eat at maintenance and u still gain muscle, slowly but surely lol. Its not a race

So you think i should lean down first? To 12?

 

[StacyCorruptor]

Lean tf down to 10%. You'll gain alot of muscle especially if you're skinny fat.

just make sure you eat alot of protein
don't fall for the low carb meme you'll need alot of energy
do some cardio too if you want

-A sauna, shower like a mop soaked in sweat. Sweating also helps reduce swelling.
-Leave the snacks (chips, cookies, bread, ice creams, etc.), fast food. In general, processed and junk food full of sugars and sodium.
-But just as you can check the macros, you can check the sodium content by reading the package or using myfitnesspal. It's also a fun fact that a teaspoon of salt (sodium chloride) is 5 g, even if it's not pure sodium, it's good to say it's 5 g sodium.
-Go for a walk every day after a large meal (10 minutes). It also helps digestion. Try it at least 1-2 meals
