Hi, I am new to the "bulking & cutting" thing. I am doing this as an attempt to go from "skinny fat" to "awesome."
I started bulking & doing Stronglifts 5x5 in mid-December; so far the scale went up 3lbs and I've gained 0.5"-1" on my waist, belly & hips (but that normally happens when I eat more). Unfortunately I was not smart enough to measure my arms & legs beforehand. I am at 19% body fat right now.
I would love to see some inspiring before/after photos & get any tips on bulking/cutting!
I upped my calories from 1500-1700 to 2200-2400.
Protein, I didn't worry too much about before, but now I try to get 110-120g.
