Question About Bulking Up.

[WayneFlint]

I agree with what grey said no amount of muscle can make up for a poor technique, but to be honest it is usually callories whats the problem, take your protein 20gram servings will do with a hi gi carb 5-6 times a day (not huge meals).
You have your carbs to get through the day burning energy, restocking glycogen, then your protein should go towards muscle building (if your in an anabolic state and the protein is complete) after that if your still not tipping the scales as much as youd like just increase calories (good calories) and thats everything covered (if your still not bulking up then i would assume its a training issue), a lot of people say you must have calorie excess to build mass or ''bulk up'' but i dont think this is entirely true, i think you just feel like if the scales have moved and the added fat that makes you look bulky under clothes is achieved then you feel like your adding more muscle mass than when trying to build muscle and stay the same bodyfat, even if this was true surely the ''cutting'' stage afterwards would have negative effects on maintaining or building the muscle youve just bulked to gain? if not then why not just try to maintain a level calorie intake and stay trim and build mass at the same time? it worked better for me i believe because i could consistently worry about building muscle more than losing fat, and this seems like a better idea for a boxer so your not changing weight drastically in a cycle, im not sure if this would effect you but i know when i add 10lbs in 2 week i dont feel quite as nimble as i did before and have to spend time sorting this out before i can get bak to where i was at, kind of blabbed on but yeh nothing to do and missus is at work

By the way i don't do boxing anymore haven't for awhile, this is purely just for the look. Since i've posted this i've done pretty well with the bulking so thanks for the advice.
