The DEATH of BULKING. When trying to build muscle, if you are too fat, it’ll be hard to build muscle. Just ask 19 year old Omar. I got fat off of 5000 calories trying to gain weight WAYYYY too fast. And it’s a bitch to lose that fat. Have some muscle and being fat just makes you a guy with bitching forearms. THIS ENDS TODAY!
The problem with bulking and getting too fat is that its a big waste of time. You gain some weight, and then when you have to get lean, you’ll probably lose too much of your muscle and end up the EXACT same as when you started! OH NO.
The problem with not being relatively lean and gaining size is that your hormones aren’t as optimal. With higher bodyfat levels you’ll have higher estrogen, insulin and cortisol. With these hormones all whacked out, it will prevent you from building as much muscle as you can. You’ll start listening to Coldplay and watching. We can’t let that happen, I WON’T.
Now its true, people get huge all the time over the course of 2-4 years by gaining some fat with their muscle. And hopefully they lean out. But who wants to be afraid of going shirtless on the beach for years? COME AT ME BRO.
So what IS the best bodyfat level to build size? I’d say 7-15% is the most optimal level of bodyfat to build muscle. Testosterone, estrogen, insulin and cortisol will be in their optimal range. It’s a comfortable band too, its easy to keep in that range while gaining size. Don’t know your bodyfat? A great rule of thumb is just to look in the mirror, if your abs are all but disappeared, you should lose some fat first. Heres a photo from a three years ago of me, I’m at about 11% bodyfat.
You always want to be sub 15% when trying to build muscle.
Once your bodyfat has gotten past 15% you should spend 4 weeks just trimming back down to about 11-12% and keep gaining size. This way you never look like a whale.
If you don’t know your bodyfat, don’t worry about it, if you are less than 150 pounds you should definitely be gaining some size! And if you can’t see any of your abs, maybe its time to lose a bit of fat.
With that said, if you are chunky and you like it funky, keep doing what you do. I’m just saying its harder to gain muscle! Gaining size is a slow, steady process, don’t be like me and blow up too fast. Because mumus aren’t cool. And that’s the golden rule. Until next time, keep it fine. This video was like a fucking nursery rhyme. I’ll keep going. This, is awkward.

i'm losing strength and i'm annoyed and pissed about it. i'm 19 % body fat is it okay too start a lean bulk and stay the samme body fat % and gain some strength and size and then i will cut down to 10 % body fat because i'm probably gonna be weak when i'm done pliz someone help
I'm super skinny and still have no visible abs… Haha.
Thanks man, so 7-15% is optimal.
Either you're joking or you hold your weight really well. That didn't look like an 80lb difference.
