    This was a hoot to read. Thanks. Going to gain a little padding that my metabolism can help shred later. Bad timing ... It's summer now. Ugh.

    Relax...live...and learn.

    Consider the slow bulk a step function. Go 250-350 cal above maintenance at higher protein macro...get your carbs peri workout. Include cardio sessions in your calcations for energy requirements. Maybe 30-35 min sessions 5 days a week. It will be slow...but you gains. Little...lean out at new weight...your hunger increases...add more calories...gain a little...lean out at new weight...add more calories and repeat. Use this time to focus on programming and maybe improving strength.

    It's always possible, it depends on how slow you want to bulk and your willingness to allow for softening.

    It also depends A LOT on your genetics, and where you store most of your fat. Some people have clearly defined abs at 15-20% BF. Some people (me, unfortunately) have to be <10%.


    Who has clearly defined abs at 20%?

    yes,who?

    'Tis true.

    Wait..you said not even implants but then it turns out to be implants? Your trolling needs work.

    Just starting out on a bulk as well (almost 4 months in) and from what I have been told, what you (OP) are proposing is impossible. As someone mentioned earlier, with the right caloric surplus (not too much so 250-500 calories), there will be minimal fat gain. Best of luck man!

    Recomps are pointless and long winded if you natural. Bulk and gain lean muscle mass then cut

    Maybe for your goals, but not everyone;s goal. I agree they are hard for most but hardly pointless for everybody.

    @Hornsby has been recomping, and while it has taken him a while, I believe he is very happy with his progress/results.
