I have to disagree with Avaric3 when he says "when you bulk right you shouldn’t gain fat"

In order to bulk you need to take in more calories than you use for day to day maintenance. Extra calories that do not get use in building muscle will turn to fat, it happens to DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT. You can cut afterwards.

Here is a calorie calculator to help you figure out your maintenance calories, eat right and eat good to minimize the fat storage, if you eat CRAP then you will gain more fat than if you do not eat crap.

Yes it does make you gain because muscle requires a AMAZING amount of calories and protien to make. But all the muscle you gained while on it will leave as soon as you stop. This is because muscle also takes alot of calories to maintain.

the first place id like you to go is to here: http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/How_Many_Calories_Do_You_Need_Calorie_Calculators_Includes_Quick_Spreadsheet_Too/m_45013/tm.htm
diet is the most important part of weight lifting
after you get that settled we'll start discussing your training

if you bulk right, you shouldnt gain fat along with the muscle. but i guess if your bodyfat is very low, eat a few 100 more calories than you should eat. if your just starting to workout, dont use creatine yet. i waited 8 months after i started working out to use creatine. and another pointer is dont do full body workouts!!!!!! only work each body part MAX twice a week, than after working out for awhile, lower that to each part only once a week, except maybe abs, some people choose to work them more, maybe 2-3 times a week.
