what is this website's princess complex and staying under 10% bf or eating clean year round? whats that about? 
trying to make yourself feel better fattyboy?
no one said you should stay under 10% bf all year around, there is no point in bulking up and being over 15% fat or so..even that is a bit too high. specially for a natural avoiding too much dieting is a good thing..and if you can keep your bodyfat at 12-13% year around (or 10-13) thats a good thing. also staying pretty lean doesnt mean you have to eat "clean" all the time. it just means you dont have to have a caloric surplus that is larger than 500 calories more than you daily caloric need inorder to gain muscle.
too many people go on insane bulks just to see the scale go up and be able to gorge themselves..but most of the weight gain will be fat. they lack the patience and they dont realize as a natural you wont be gaining 30lbs of muscle year after year..which leads to unreasonable expectations...and in the end walking around fat year around and never seeing the muscles below all that fat. as a natural you wont be gaining much more than 3-6lbs per year after the first year or so (if you trained somewhat correctly with adequate nutrition). being fat wont change that fact.
at the same time you should not be obsessed with food (like waddy is for example) inorder to stay lean, as it in reality doesnt have to be that much of an effort to stay relatively lean if you use common sense and have a bit of knowledge.
edit: just read the t-nation article...VERY good article ( i been saying point for point the same things to people who have asked me about "bulking" that he writes about in the article). a must read for all you fatties.
