Bulking and Fat Gain

jefftownsend2

Just curious at how much fat others put on when bulking, I hit a wall in my training and have gained quite a bit of strength and muscle mass sense July 2019. In July 2019 I was 194 at 16% and now I am at 20% at 220, I have been eating 4 to 4500K positive calories to date. Last week I started into cutting some fat, dropping 500 calories a week until I see .5% body fat loss in two weeks.

13 pounds out of 22.

I would just point out that at your BF% you are more primed to add a larger % fat than if you bulked at 10-12%. so as noted 13 lbs of fat out of 22, when if you bulked more of a lean bulk starting at a lower BF%, you may have been able to hold that down to 7-10 lbs of fat
