Question:
In weight lifting, how long is the bulking phase and what exactly do you do during that phase?
Answers:
most pretty much continue bulking up until the goal weight is reached or body fat levels are starting to get out of control. bulking is nothing more than creating a caloric excess by eating more whole foods. those that have below average levels of body fat usually have success with macros close to 25% protein, 55% carbs and 20% fat. those with higher levels are better off reducing the carbohydrate intake and using macros close to 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fat.
increase the current calories by 10% each week until weight gain occurs and monitor the body fat bi-weekly to make any needed adjustments to the diet.
