š¤Should You Bulk Or Cut First? š¤
This was one of my biggest (and most confusing) questions I had when I first started offā¦
I actually started off with the āskinny fatā physique⦠where I had skinny arms and a bunch of ugly belly fat.
I listened to some of the guys at the gym.
They told me stuff like:
āBro you should bulk til 85-90kg.ā
Lol.
My fattest Iāve ever been was 74kg at that time and even thinking about 85kgā¦
I was like āno wayā
But curiosity got the better of me.
I decided to dirty bulk to 85kg and 16 inch arms.
Stats Iāve never had.
So I ate everything in sight.
Pizzas, lollies, all the junk food.
In 4 months YES I achieved 85kg and 16 inch arms.
But what did I actually look like?
Complete garbage.
I had zero muscle definition.
My stomach looked fat as.
My face looked like a balloon.
I was embarrassed with myself.
In fact?
I developed a health condition - stomach reflux of sorts - which I had to see the doctor for.
Worst of all?
My body fat went from 15% up to 25-30% which Iāve never been before.
And took me an entire 8-12months to shred.
So moral of the story?
Donāt listen to crap other people tell you.
Most people have no clue what theyāre on about.
Luckily for me Iāve been through all the trials and tribulations over 13 years.
And Iāve tried everything.
So I can safely give proper advice to my clients from my many years of experience.
So to answer the question.
Bulk or cut first?
First I always get my clients cutting, phase 1.
Drop down to a lean 13-15% body fat optimally.
Cause once youāre lean enough?
Your body becomes super carb sensitive.
It becomes like a sponge.
So all the food and hard training you give it?
It will 10X your results.
So when you start lean bulking - phase 2?
(Slow but steady bulk with minimal fat gain)
Youāll maintain great muscle definitionā¦
Youāll maintain a low body fatā¦
And youāll gain lean muscle at the fastest and most efficient rate possible.
Ultimately looking AND feeling your best!
And thatās what Iām all about š
Anyways, super long post todayā¦
But hope it provided some useful insights!
Enjoy your Weekend š
