Re: Bulking: Clean Diet?
Skunk: Yeah, just realized we had a gym forum, I'll post much more here now.
It's not that I don't think "traditional" bulking won't help you put on muscle...your obviously getting enough calories to promote anabolism...it's just the whole all calories are good, eat everything approach largely sucks. In my prior clients I'd much prefer macro manipulations of healthy food choices than just say "go out and get much more calories" if adding muscle mass was the goal.
I also have definite thoughts on how people want to look. In general the guys you see in movies look ripped have a bodyweight of much lower than you'd expect. Without a lot of bodyfat it's very easy to create an illusion of size. I even have a bunch of pictures of people who are about 15-30 pounds lighter, but appear much more muscular based on bodyfat. Helps for when I'm trying to let clients see what adding lean mass/decreasing bodyfat can do.
