10 Newbie Tips for Bulking This Fall/Winter

It’s getting to that time of the year where the summer cut is finally coming to a close and now the fun begins. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to bulk! For those of you just starting out, this is probably all new to you and you really don’t understand the concept of cutting and bulking and why things happen during certain times of the year.  To ease into things, let’s talk about some tips for bulking.

For most, fall/winter is the time to bulk and put on some slabs of meat. If they add a little fat during this time, so be it. They will be wearing a lot of long-sleeved sweatshirts; therefore, they can hide whatever fat they might gain. One of the major tips for bulking is to not be afraid of putting on a little body fat in the process (just ensure it isn’t a lot).

Then come spring/summer it’s is the time to cut and drop the fat you might have gained during the cold months, to show off the new lean mass you added. Not to mention most people go to the beach or go on vacation during these months, so it naturally makes sense to diet and hit some cardio during this time to get in the best shape of the year.

Bulking during this time will have you looking slightly heavier/bloated than if you were cutting. Not to mention fat gains with bulking will be apparent, especially when in a bathing suit.
