i didnt really like it too much. i guess it would be well applied to rollingstones situation but it seemed like just another motivation article for the most part

My last bulk was fairly clean but not to much. I clean bulk 100% of the time now and getting bigger faster than ever. a 6oz chicken breast has 40g of protien and only like 5g of fat. I drink lots of fat free milk and eat a ton of egg whites. I'll throw in a yolk for the amino acids but that's it. I refuse to ever dirty bulk again. Its such a waste of time and I hate doing cardio enough as it is.

high dietary fat doesnt mean it's not a clean bulk

yeah, those are all clean foods, but if your bulking why not just eat the whole egg, etc.

i dont think i will ever in my life eat just egg whites, that is disgusting.

its the exact same for me, egg whites all the way ONLY hardboiled, i can't stand the yolk.  But when they are scrambled it has to have the yolk otherwise its gross

yeah just whites are nasty, and a waste of an egg.

i'm glad this post came up,i was gonna throw this in very soon myself!i have been trying to gain on maintanance for almost a year,initially i lost weight because i was too heavy,then once i had a waistline and a bit of visual ab muscle i started lifting "proper",obviously like us all i got right into it and the need to get bigger became most important.....but i just spent a year getting slimmer....bulking!!!!i had a dilemna but i have stuck it out on maintanance,good diet and after nearly 12 months a good amount of size has been added,22 pounds of muscle,and my midsection intact!!!ha ha!so a slow process,it tests the patience quite often but it's a long term thing is it not?incidentally i was 70 pounds too heavy 2 years ago,and my waist is now 6 inches smaller......thats why the bulk scared me....fat loves me ha ha.rolling....if you wanna swap abs anytime.........

if you're not continually learning then you're listening to the wrong people!!

My family has high cholesteral so I cant afford to be downing a ton of yolks. The yolk is my favorite part no matter how the egg is cooked.
