Bulking on very few carbs?

[Boost]

Anyone done this?
I think i am carb sensitive. I alwys feel sluggish when eating tonnes of carbs.
Plus a high fat diet boosts test and GH for a natural lifter....

welcome to the carb-sensitive club!

I have grown quite well before on very low carbs. Guessing around 50 per day.

bulking is basically (imho) eating alot of everything, resting and lifting heavy

the concept of "lean bulking" is a fallacy

you have to "add more cement" to the statue.  Then, you will "chisel off excess cement"  when your done

[tbombz]

keep glycogen full by drink glucose before/during/after your workouts and by keeping your blood saturated with fatty acids at all times and yes it will work well.. get lots of cholestrol from whole eggs and it works much better...   dont limit trace carbs and veggies though...

[Disgusted]

NO such things as "bulking" you are either gaining muscle or gaining fat or both.

its called eating not rocket science

I gained a lot of fat really fast when I took in too much sugar.

Here I was around 215-220 pounds... bloated mess.

I just filled a big garbage bag with all the sugary junk i have in the house. I am gonna throw it away.
Then tommorow...a diet of nuts, meats and cheese.
One step at a time

Maybe it was just too much calories.

What bodyfat is 240 in that pic?
I am pretty close to that

[240 is Back]

Maybe.  But when I ate roughly the same amount of calories from protein and fat, I leaned up very quickly - even with a LOT of fats.  It's possible.

for some of us, that all or nothing type of bulking is the way to go because our metabolism are fast

the thing is we do this for a short period, like 8 weeks, then we go back to our normal eating

Once we get back to our normal BF%, their is a gain of, at least, 2lbs of lean body mass

I enjoyed bulking, very much

I tried to gain lean for 2 straight years, and got up to that bulking 20% BF, 220 pounds at 5' 10".

Then I tried eating clean and being super healthy... and I felt like all I really achieved was a *slightly* leaner version (albeit smaller back and legs as well), at 175-ish pounds.  *pictured.

Right now I'm cruising somewhere in the middle, adding some bulk so I can regain some size again.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO SUCH THING AS CARB SENSITIVE!

Total Myth.

You have no idea what that means or you are just being facetious?

You are absolutely wrong.

take a wild guess

We ALL go through those phases

then we eventually find our niche: Big guy or Lean guy (most big AND lean guys are either juiced or have INSANE genes)

I'm actually bulking now, but to be honest, I don't have appetite to eat that much anymore

I think i'm gonna cut it short and go back to normal

[The True Adonis]

You are absolutely wrong.

Find me one Scientific Study regarding "Carb Sensitivity".

Find me one peer reviewed article on the subject.
 


You can`t.  It is a myth.

Furthermore, if someone were to eat say .5 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight and the rest of the calories carbs,( A threshold of 2000 lets say)

ANY individual would be well on there way to becoming extremely lean.
