I have been lifting for 2 months now and am starting to notice my body fat increasing especially on my lower stomach. Anyway, should I maintain bulking or should I start cutting? I'm just under 5'7", probably 140lbs. If I should keep bulking, how will I know when I should start cutting?


Thanks!

Bulk!!!!!!!!

Bulk. You need more muscle mass to work with, then you will be primed to cut. Hit those weights HARD.

if your body fat is increasing your probaly eating too much junk and not enough healthy food. Keep bulking, and eat clean.

deffff bulllllk brothhha

Def bulk man.

The longer you bulk the better you are off because the body starts to add muscle on a regular basis and protein synthesis just keeps increasing slowly over time allowing you to add more and more mass as you keep bulking. I think a good 10-15 pounds of muscle would do great for you.

thanks a ton. i'll give it at least 3 more months of bulking before i think about cutting.

what!!! bulk for a year 140lb isn't gonna cut it. yeah eat clean and hit the core muscle just like any other muscle. with resistant and weights. good luck

common rookie mistake, If you take a notice to the post date you'll see this was posted well over a month ago.
Last post^

rookie mistake? a month ago a year ago it doesn't matter. its still here in the open so i'm gonna post.

First off, I have no need to explain any of my actions to you.
Damn, Whats with all the hostility? Most "N00bs" to this site don't notice the little time stamp up there. They will go posting stuff in threads years old and wondering why they aren't getting a reply back to what they said.
I was simply letting you know you will not likely get a response back from the OP. Especially since he hasn't logged on since june26th.
You have done nothing but show your immaturity and aggression, for no real reason at that.

Chill out. http://training.fitness.com/wellness...len-25737.html

wow your a snitch... but anyways noob alright call me what ever you want but what.. you know me all of a sudden because i got less then 100 post under my belt? well oh well i go to several forums and would like to try this out no harm done... but you had to be a smart a$$ about it and post something not related to the OP. a month ago yes i know it was a month ago but that doesn't mean that the OP doesn't go back and check on it. uhhhh DUH go ahead and snitch AGAIN

Lol, I hope you stick around. But understand, I meant nothing bad by anything said. You had the tantrum. Chill out, don't be so defensive.
I see not the harm in mentioning the fact that this thread is over a months old and the poster hasn't logged on in quite some time. Theres nothing "SmartA$$" about it.

Yes, you are a n00b, you just joined, Thats the definition of a n00b, is it not?

so if i've been a member at another forum site and i started a new one on another site that makes me a noob...? then tell me this if you've been working out how ever long you've been working out at a gym... then you go to a new gym, what now your a noob?
