1 year difference

hi friends i have been doing gym since 1 year.
5 days in a week.
this month i have started talking fatty food.
and i have put on 3kg,
do you think fat will help in getting bulk?
because i feel more energetic in gym while working out but i cant see my abs anymore.

If bulking, your going to add bodyfat on. But if it turns out to be too excessive, stop because your doing too much since you already have noticed you abs fade away. Clean bulk it; meaning, bulk but watch what you eat and dont go to McDonalds after lifting for instance. (I've actually heard of someone on here, and in the gym do this.)

i was into gym
but for some reasons i stopped but this is my regular 1 year
my workout plan:
push ups and pulls for warm up
i do 40 minutes heavy workout
monday - chest
tuesday- leave
wednesday- shoulders and back
thursday- biceps and triceps
friday- chest
saturday- biceps and triceps

after workout i do abs 3 sets 20 reps.

no leg work?  ooo big no-no.   the fact that you gained that much upper body mass, there must be a huge muscular imbalance between your upper/lower body.  do you ever do leg work?

i dont do legs
my calves are 13.5 inches
will squats with weights help?

Anyone who bulks are going to see their abs dissapear if they put on a considerable amount of weight, when you cut or start working your abs more they will become even more defined than they were before. It's expected.

Firstly, Yes.

Secondly, Squats are a major part of lifting!
Without working your legs you're promoting muscular imbalance which will cause a lot of discomfort and a lot of problems with aching later on down the road.
Also, Squat-like movements release just enough growth hormone to promote muscle growth all around the body.

Your body will stop growing very very quickly if you don't work out the entire thing because it doesn't like imbalance.
Your gains in strength will also increase if you work your legs.

One of the biggest mistakes a newbie does is not work their legs and they're at a HUGE  disadvantage because of it.

Go low weight with Squats and practice your form for a while. Go deep.
Get those tiny quads bigger.

Might I add...
DEADLIFTS.

thanks for  suggesting.
how many sets and reps?

thanks for the information
actually for the first time my body started bulking
and i thought i will loose my abs because of fatty food.

cody-great job man.  impressive results. 

i would drop the behind the back pull downs.  and add deadlifts like wyrms said.  and most important, do legs like NBSFIGHTER said. 

i dont know what you are doing for bis and tris but i wouldnt do them on thursday and then again on saturday.  same for chest.  but again it depends on what you are doing on those days. 

as wyrms said?  wtf i said it first haha.  Why does wyrms get all the credit

thanks for the kind words
now i know how much legs workout is important.
maybe that is the reason that my growth had stopped.
but i also feel that fats are somewhere important in getting easy bulk.

thats me pumped up at my friend's place.
