Scale number spike when starting to bulk?
I'm around 5' 7", and was 160 when I started to bulk. I'm not sure what my bf% was but after a very long 9 month cut, I lost a lot of muscle (because I didn't lift while cutting). Knowing this, my bf% was probably pretty high even after losing 60 lbs. I started StrongLifts 2 months ago and started bulking a month ago.…

Looking bloated not muscular
I've been weightlifting for two years but to be honest I didn't really have a good workout in place. 11 weeks ago I started doing a structured all over body programme 3 times a week and love it. The goal was to build muscle with minimal fat gain. I'll admit I have piddled around with my kcal intake a lot over this period…

That is the question. I'm curious. I'd like to ask all my fellow bulkers, which way has been the most successful way for YOU to meet your calorie goal? Are you a 100% pre-planned bulker, semi-pre planned bulker or do you take the day as it comes and pray it adds up? And why?
