Difference between clean bulk and body recomp?
I'm 5'4" and 115 lbs currently. 18% BF. Ideally I'd like to gain about 7-10 lbs of lean muscle and maintain my body fat weight. I wouldn't complain if I lost a couple pounds of fat, but overall I'd like to maintain it, and I really don't want to gain fat because my definition (especially my abs) is very important to me.…

Hard Gainer? Carb Sensitive? Getting frustrated
Hey everyone, I've posted here and there, but nothing consistent. Here's my backstory in a nutshell: I was once very overweight, lost 75 pounds with a combination of healthy eating and exercise.

For those bulking, how much cardio do you do per week?
I'm going to be starting my "bulk phase" again in about a month. Was wondering if I was doing too much cardio the last time around, which may have been affecting my gains. I play basketball about once a week and do some intense cardio at the gym 1-2 times a week during the bulk. Perhaps that too much?
