What is bulking and cutting?
When your on a bulk the idea is to have a calorie surplus to help create the optimum anabolic affect for muscle growth. For the body to feel safe in building new muscle it has to gain a little fat (unless you already have alot of that). Its what bodybuilders would do since gaining muscle at 3-4% bodyfat is near impossible. Cutting is basically reducing your calorie intake. If you do it correctly you shouldnt feel any strength loss for 2-3 months at which point you'd go to maintenance cal's for a couple weeks to a month and restart the cut. You have to do one or the other you cannot do both. (if your new to weight lifting id suggest bulking)
Bulking Gone Wrong!! :(?
There are two pretty good web sites that spell out good diets for powerlifting. When I started powerlifting I was on the "See Food Diet" too! I saw food and I ate it. www.Livestrong.com, On search type in "healthy powerlifting diet" www.badattitudegym.com. Go to the articles, and hit Powerlifting nutrition 101.
Protein + Bulking up?
First off, "gainer" shakes, are extremely overrated. I bought into the hype and really didn't show any results. Gainer's tend to have all the good stuff in whey and then just extra carbs.. You would be better off with some bread or veggies. Definitely go with the whey shake in the morning, it does wonders for you. Wait at least a good hour after you leave the gym to take your whey shake. Also after you get home get some sugar in your system as the insulin spike really helps while your muscles A better solution to whey for before you go to bed is Casein, I would suggest next cycle of supplements you replace your gainer with a Casein supplement. The reason I say this is because a whey shake before bed will go right through you in a matter of 1-3 hours.. Meanwhile a Casein shake before bed will stay with you all night long. The benefit of casein vs whey is for the night really. When your bulking your biggest time frame without protein or any form of fuel is your sleeping period which should be long enough if you plan on promoting good growth and during this time of fast your body may want to use some muscle for fuel as that is what happens if you haven't got anything in the tank. Casein will digest slowly and stay with you the entire night so your body can keep every ounce of gain as you sleep. If you don't want to spend your money on casein which is reasonable some cottage cheese is high in casein and you can get in in low fat as well.
What is the best way to bulk up if I'm skinny?
In order for you to grow, you need to create the demand for growth through hard training and then fulfill that demand through proper nutrition. Supplements come after that, should you need to eliminate any deficiencies or you want to take your training to another level.Your workouts should be intense with relatively heavy weight. The number of repetitions is between 8 and 10. Sets are generally 3–4. Big compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, etc. are great for developing your overall physique. You will stimulate more muscle growth through the big exercises.After your workout, it’s time to refuel. The type of nutrition you have will have significant impact on your progress. You have to have a good understanding of the three types of macronutrients - proteins, fats and carbs. Proteins are used as building material, so you need a sufficient amount of them in order to build muscle. Fats play a crucial part in the synthesis and transportation of hormones, so you need a fair amount of them as well. Carbs are used mainly as a source of energy. So you need enough of them in order to complete your workouts successfully. Also, don’t underestimate the power of rest and recovery. You grow when you are at rest, so 7–8 hours of sleep is crucial for your progress.So we can conclude that your progress is dependent on training, nutrition, rest and motivation. Those four pillars will determine how quickly and easily you will achieve your goal. For a more thorough answer on this you, please check The Four Pillars of Fitness Progress.Hope this helps.
Does eating carbs at night while BULKING cause fat gain instead of muscle gain?
Firstly The bro science behind this isMost "experts" who recommend limiting carbs at night do so because their assertion is that since you will be going to sleep soon, your metabolism will slow down and those carbohydrates will have a greater chance at being stored as fat compared to if they were consumed earlier in the day, where they would have a greater probability of being burned. Common assertion that insulin sensitivity is reduced at night, shifting your carb-storing directionality towards fat and away from muscle.But the actual truth is Interestingly, at the very least it does not appear that the average overall energy expenditure during sleep is any different than resting metabolic rate (RMR) during the day.Additionally, it appears that exercise increases sleeping metabolic rate significantly, leading to greater fat oxidation during sleep.Certain tests have shown that obese individuals had sleeping metabolic rates lower than their resting metabolic rates, whereas lean individuals had sleeping metabolic rates significantly greater than their resting metabolic rate. So unless you are obese, not only does your metabolism not slow down during sleep, it actually increases!There's the matter of insulin sensitivity to consider which is a bit lower at night though.So to sum it up unless you are eating all your carbs at night you should not be worried about fat gain. You should be fine with eating carbs at night but don't eat all of them at night as long as you are working out regularly.

I gained some fat while bulking. Should I target fat loss now for 1 or 2 weeks or keep bulking and cut only at the end?
There are a couple of ways to do a lean bulk WITHOUT the fat. Here’s what to do if you’ve gained to much fat while bulking.One of the BEST ways I’ve found to do a lean bulk is to be in a surplus for about 3 weeks and then go into a caloric deficit for one.This is called, “The Anabolic Amplifier Effect.”The anabolic amplifier effect is basically a technique that a lot of pro bodybuilders discovered after they did a show.What most of them found out was they looked better after their show than during their show.Why?Before their show they depleted themselves of carbs and when the show was over they would go out and have big cheat meal.What this does is replace all their glycogen levels that were originally depleted from dieting hard within the muscle.This makes their muscles look fuller after they cheated.Bodybuilders became aware of this and soon learned it was best to carb up for 3 days before their show so that they would look fuller on stage.To put it simply, you have to manipulate your carbs.Another technique would be to throw in some cardio if you feel you are getting to fat while bulking.“The Anabolic Amplifier Effect.” is a free PDF you can download so that you can do a lean bulk properly WITHOUT the fat.
