You are probably too fat to bulk

Ideally bulking shouldnt start before a man reaches 12% bf and should not exceed 18% bf. These are ballpark estimates but one should never bulk above 20%. Thats a big no no. Also inpopular opinion but most skinny fat individuals are better served with calorie deficits rather than gaining. Some select people can undergo body recomposition if they are beginners too

Too much fat and calorie partitioning is fucked

no if you actually want to get something out of your bulk then you're gonna have to bulk for until you get kinda fat

You'll get plenty fat at 18%. Most understimate bf

i agree, i typically do slow bulks from 10-15'6% then aggressive cut back to 10

This is good for US Navy method. I dont know about DEXA. Most people tell me DEXA shows higher bf consistently than calipers/US Navy
