They are telling the truth bro. I know it might hard to accept the fact, but gaining less than 10% bf is really really a pain in the arse and not easy.

i'll post up mine soon. help me judge it.

I see, alright so what i did wrong ? I am trying to bulk up widen shoulder gain muscles etc but how come bf increase suddenly leh ._. Should i hit cardio ? i do cardio once or twice per week already, not intense thou.

I used to have your kind of idea in my mind. Having the thought of having to increase bf while bulking used to scare me. But now I dont worry about bf so much anymore. Just have 1 goal at a time. If you wanna bulk, stick on bulking. Once you are big enough, then start cutting to get leaner and muscle tone. You cant bulk and cut at the same time.

I see, hard to see my progress for bulking. Must be patient BF increase so fast =-=

ya cuz of my height quite tall ...... makes my body looks longer

i would say the reading amount times 2 or more....

can get 12-15% BF for me is good enough.

Eat alot wrong food before working out and getting infomation. It's hard thou bodybuilding is a lifestyle by the way is it normal since i bulking up to gain body fat ._.?

while on the topic of bodyfat how do u guys measure it? BMI? with caliper on belly fat?

good 8% body fat
the scale tell the truth
no base on the forumer here

Go away. Go post somewhere else. The mirror is always the better judge than a scale unless it's a dexa scan.

lol... Chris, i really admire ur patience. how u could still not stop posting despite all the blood puking comments that is received.

hey, dun get me wrong. newbies really need to be reading the stickies for atleast 3 weeks before they even start posting and debating on somethin they dun even have a clue about.

%bf is just a scale. i agree with DL, mirror is a better judge.

+1

lol Chill guys i believe darklight has a good point if i had 8% body fat my body will shows ripped on stomach and shoulders. My friend who is skinny but work out alot has much lower bodyfat but muscles are more visible @@.
But is it normal when bulking to gain bf? Or do i eat the wrong food.

You can either clean bulk or dirty bulk, dirty bulk would probably increase your bf due to the excessive surplus of calories, around 600-800+ of calorie surplus might be consider as a dirty bulk, and base on your pic, i think your bf% is probably at the 14-16% range.

correct me if im wrong, but i thought that the only difference between a "dirty-bulk" and
a "clean-bulk" is the quality of food that is eaten and not the amount of calories consumed.

As far as i know, bulking or a bulking period simply means a period of time consuming a larger amount of calories more than maintanence level.
If your extra 500 calories above your maintenence level is from junk/fast food, then its a dirty bulk.
If its from a clean healthy gourmet (eg. lean grilled chicken/beef, veggies, healthy fats etc) then its a clean bulk.

my advice to McDbigMac, dont worry TOO much about the body fat percentage. What DL said is true, its harder to gain muscle at a BF % less than 10. Youre looking like youre around >14%. Concentrate on gaining as much muscle as possible with as little fat gain as possible. Dont worry if your BF% goes up 2-3%. but dont overdo it and let it go up 5-10%.

For what its worth, its easier to lose fats than gain muscle.

i'm looking for gym partner. i live in wangsa maju area... please help me gain muscle... pm me: ephemeral.immortal@gmail.com

This is correct.
