I have been on a bulking diet for the past 2 weeks.
Diet is what normal bulking is like, PT perscribed it, and I have a 4 day split work out where I work out about 2 hours a day.

I know this is normal and I will get rid of it when I cut, but sicne I have started bulking I have lost my six pack (though the rest of my body has goten larger which is good!) which is my prized posession. And its really depressing to me and I am thinking about it all day.

Really I just started this so I could get some reasurance that during bulking this would be normal.

Or maybe my fears are correct and im losing my six pack! Hope not!

Thank you,

That's the way the cookie crumbles my man but you will be happy when you shed that fat off after your bulk.

Look at it this way, you are in the tiniest minority of American men that EVER had a six pack. (Unless you are talking beer)

So be proud!!

If you had it before, you know how to get it back.

I can relate to your feelings... I also know enough former collegiate wrestlers to know you share much in the way we who compete in bodybuilding do about weight and leaness and about how extreme you willmore muscle you have to take a break from the "lettuce, one meal a day, sleeping in a garbage bag" stints. You just remember that you have been cut up and you will be again but this time with more muscle and even stronger! Totally worth it.

That said, I do know how you feel. When I could wear my 0 sized jeans anymore I thought I would go nuts. Temporary and NOT healthy. I bet you look great despite not being ripped to shreds.
