Thanks. I wasn’t able to work out at all since November. In compensation, I’ve eaten like a horse. The result is that I’m now at 21.1%. I started working out again on December 31, 2007 and want to get down to something around 15% by June.
I believe bulking doesn’t bring much at high body fat percentages as most people would gain more fat than lean mass. The leaner people are when starting a bulk cycle, the more lean mass they can add provided they have a sound lifting program and are eating right. This has no scientific background – it’s just what I have observed in men who work out at the gym where I go.
This one is my humble opinion: if you’re plain fat, who’d even notice the effort it took to put on that pound of lean mass? All, including yourself, will see more progress during a couple of cutting cycles. After all, if you can’t see any progress, why do it at all? That’s reason number one why most people give up after a short time. Also here, I have no scientific background for this, but I have observed it over the past 18 months or so.
