Bulk and Clean Bulk

[Alaric]

I've read the stickies at the top of this forum, but I'm wondering what's the difference between a bulk and a clean bulk?

Does a clean bulk require you to do cardio, and have less cheat meals? Or does using a clean bulk use a different P/C/F ratio?

A clean bulk consists of slower burning carbs like Brown Rice, SP, Oats, etc..... instead of junk carbs like white bread, sugar cereals, etc. Also, don't forget EFAs and lean proteins.

p.s. This was copied verbatim from Jodi

it just implies that you're gaining weight (bulking) with an increase in calories, but eating good (clean) foods, not a bunch of crap. Obviously you could increase your calories and gain weight by eating McDonalds everyday, a clean bulk means you would eat similarly as when cutting, just more food/calories.

I consider my bulk to be a hybrid of the two... I mainly eat the same foods i eat while cutting, but I tend to be less disciplined about cheating...

 

[Randy]

Yeah me too Mayo...Well almost anyway. I tend to be more on the junk bulk side

I really do try, but I can't help it.. I have that country boy appetite.

In fact, just gettin ready to have some fried chicken, gizzards, biscuits and gravy and peas . I'll tell ya, I can't resist good ole fried chicken and biscuits and gravy....(LIKE HEAVEN)

Im a PB fiend. I wish it was not so calories dense or else I would live off it. Also the almond butter.

 

[Randy]

Just run more

 

[donescobar2000]

Thats would work but im not taking any chances. LOL.

 

[Randy]

Well that's good Dones.... I need more discipline myself. When it comes to food, it's hard for me to say no .

 

[donescobar2000]

Hey I still love to eat. Don't get me wrong. My cheat days aint nothing nice.

Yeah, same here. No fast food though.

 

[Randy]

I just have to assert more discipline so my cheating days don't bleed into my workout week.. I do have a serious goal though once the weather warms up to start a jogging program or something with equal intesity so I can focus on getting lean. I have severe body fat to burn off I'll tell ya.

Maybe one of you can tie my ass to your bumper and drag me a few miles a day

Great since of humor. You have me rolling!
