Once obviously. Forgot to mention that I am making solid strength gains too. Before I started bulking and weighed more, I hit a plateau.
yeah but doesn't your metabolism also increase as you gain muscle? I'm a DYEL so any small change would probably affect it.
Yes it does, muscle tissue needs 2x the energy than fat requires. A bulk = calorie surplus, which means you will gain weight regardless of your muscle to fat ratio
I am eating what I was before, except I also eat 500 calories of peanut butter now too. It's definitely a bulk. But so far I lost 2KG.
Are you stupid, that's not a bulk just because you ate 500 calories worth of peanut butter doesn't make it a bulk. A BULK IS CALORIE SURPLUS WHICH MEANS YOU GAIN WEIGHT.
Yes, before that I was at the same weight for months so it was my maintenance. Now i'm adding an extra 500 calories, give or take, which makes it a bulk
JFL at your conclusionYes, before that I was at the same weight for months so it was my maintenance. Now i'm adding an extra 500 calories, give or take, which makes it a bulk
????
Yes and for how long? You don't drop 2 kg in a day unless it's water weight from lowering carb intake
Around 2 months or so. I always check in the mornings.
Muscle weights more than fat and requires more calories to sustain.
You ate and extra 500 calories for 2 months from what you used to eat and you lost 2 kg? If that's the case you didn't do a bulk just because you ate 500 calories worth of peanut butter on top of your regular diet.
Before I added the extra 500 calories I was the same weight for months, if not years so it was obviously my maintenance. I've also started making strength gains again after plateauing for a long time. Clearly it's working for me.
Okay I don't really care what you did or didn't do. I just wanted to answer your thread title which not it's not normal because you don't lose weight on a bulk.
Normal tbh, used to have shitting problems but they're normal 99.9% of the time now.
hmm i see, ye idk tbh
I usually pick one at random. Didn't know smooth is better. I'll get that from now.
I don't want to be a bloatlord either
Just eat 0 trash food (sugar/wheat), the amount you need not to not feel hungry.
Hinder your overall growth because muh bloat , gaining>>losing
in that case i'd be losing facial aesthetics. Would rather do it slowly so I don't become an obese powershitter.
That's for roidcels.
You re not becoming obese nor will you look good anytime soon , keep "recomping" hindering body development if ur under 20 boyo
