Obviouslly someone that is skinny needs to bulk and for a long period of time, so they can have the muscle mass to support A cutting/ sculpting resume.
But How do you feel about people that start of skinny/fat, you know the ones that are skinny/small but still have a fair bit of body fat *the skinny fat look*> I have heard that they should cut the body fat first before a bulk, because beginning a bulk with a fair bit of body fat, will just get you more fat towards the end.
So basically you shouldnt do a bulk, unless ur particulary lean/skinny/low body fat to begin with.
And there are other that are pritty fat to begin with, obviouslly they cant do a bulk, so they should eat under maintenance until they get down to atleast 10-15% body fat, before even considering doing a bulk.
What are ur oppinions? Most important one is the skinny fat person, do you think they should lose there body fat first before bulking?
Thanx.
After doing cycles of bulking and cutting for years, I have come to the conclusion that clean bulking is where it is at.
i.e. A long, slow bulk, where you gain maybe 2-3kgs of fat tops, followed by a 6-8 week cut to lose that fat.
For beginners, they can lose the fat and gain muscle at the same time anyway, so again, clean bulking would be my suggestion.
I am no longer a fan of all out bulks, but cutting before you have even built any muscle is pretty pointless, as beginners can lose that fat while they gain anyway.
Interesting, my coach has me cutting, i weighed 85 kilos 5 weeks ago when i started with him....i am 176 cm, altho i still have a bit of body fat to lose........... i now weigh 77 kilos and im starting to look skinny.
When i first started with him, i was under the impression he would have me bulking to start because im not that big, but he had me begin cutting. Now that i weigh 77 kilos and started to look skinny *but still have a bad of body fat to get rid of* i have asked him if im ready to do a bulk yet......... he said no your not ready for that yet.
So im under the impression he wants me to get at a lower body fat before i can bulk again> even tho im starting to get skinny now.
The term clean bulk is meaningless. I am assuming you mean a slow bulk, with calories not much over maintenance.
I thought Scott Abel made magic happen
I have discussed this with many of his clients on his forums, they have told me scotts methods may go against everything you think you know about bodybuilding but the fact is that hes transformed beginners into bodybuilding champions, so he knows what he is doing.
just do what your coach tells you. Otherwise whats the point of having a coach and not doing what he says lol.

Just wanted oppinions from other people,not arguments. I was really confused when i first started...... thinking i dont understand why he has me cutting, i wanna get big not small. But a range of his clients reckon, bulking with a fair bit of bodyfat to begin with, will only lead to getting fat and i should lean out before bulking.
Did you explain your goals to your coach? Might have been a communication error somewhere?
