Fitness N Muscle

Bulking up makes getting bigger a lot easier. When bulking, your main goal should be to maximize muscle gains while minimizing your fat gain. While bulking, it is extremely difficult to put on muscle mass without gaining a little bit of fat. Your objective should be to put on as little fat as possible. When you bulk up you have to consider two issues. These are:

1. You have to workout while bulking - If your not working out at the same time that you are eating a lot to bulk, you won't get improvments in muscle mass and you will just get fat. You have to make sure that most of the extra calories you are consuming are going towards growth in your muscle as opposed to fat gain.

 2. What you eat is what you are - Just because you're trying to bulk up, you can't be eating junk food like cake and taking in any empty calories. This is because you need the extra calories throughout the day. This does not mean that you should consume alot of calories in one sitting. Your body should be getting more calories from carbohydrates and healthy fats. Bulking is not an excuse to consume simple carbohydrates--your primary source of carbs should be complex, slow-digesting carbohydrates. This is very similar to a regular bodybuilding diet in tems of the foods you eat, but you are just consuming more of these same foods throughout the day.
