Clean Bulking: Thoughts/Experiences?
Replies

Here is my example. This year instead of traditionally bulking to 230+ lbs I did a re composition diet that will end this Saturday. So far I have gained 2lbs of muscle and lost several % of fat. I will know exactly how much this Saturday.
13 wk recomp. cycle
wk1 11/26/12 = 214lbs
wk2 12/03/12 = 216lbs
wk3 12/10/12 = 219lbs
wk4 12/17/12 = 220lbs
wk5 12/24/12 = 222lbs
wk6 12/31/12 = 224lbs
wk7 01/07/13 = 222lbs
wk8 01/28/13 = 219lbs
wk 9 02/04/13 = 218lbs
wk 10 02/11/13 = 220lbs
wk 11 02/18/13 = 219lbs
wk 12 02/26/13 = 217lbs
What did the diet peice look like?
There's a lot to it but my diet remained mostly constant other than a upping 10 or 20 cals or decreasing those cals here and there according to my weight gains or losses. Notice like I said how it peaks out...Then it drops back down. That's the course the re composition took me.
Am I understanding you correctly? You would only vary calories 10 or 20 per day?
There were spike days included during certain off times.
There are various way to do it. I did the zig zag approach .
Kind of like there are various ways to bulk. You can bulk 1:1 muscle to fat ratio or 2:3 muscle to fat ratio.0 -
in my experience, i have cleaned bulked and dirty bulked. while i was clean bulking, yes i did feel a lot better at the higher weight i achieved, but i didnt come back as strong as i did when i dirty bulked. <-- does that make sense? plus it always feels better to eat crappy tasteful food lol.
