Bullwinklemoos saidThat's natural for bulking. Seriously- Lee Priest looks like a bear offseason.
q1w2e3 saidI seem to be running into the same problem...I've gained about 20 pounds over the last few months and I see a definite increase in my legs and arms, but my abs seem to be disproportionally fat. Does anybody have a solution to builking up pecs rather than abs? (I have 1 day for pecs and triceps only)
And I was told I shouldn't do any cardio due to my fast metabolism.
gta129 saidFor both of you, try balancing your cardio with your bulking.q1w2e3 saidI seem to be running into the same problem...I've gained about 20 pounds over the last few months and I see a definite increase in my legs and arms, but my abs seem to be disproportionally fat.

that's exactly what i was told by most people on bodybuilding sites.
because of my fast metabolism i was told to keep my workout under 90 minutes and not do any cardio.
q1w2e3 saidOkay so 5 minutes of cardio isn't enough...5 minutes of HIIT is my sweet spot. Anything more, and I lose muscle mass. Kinda weird cause I'm a mesomorph...you'd think it would take 50 minutes of HIIT to lose a pound per week.
xrichx saidA couple of things you should remember..+1
1) Men store excess fat in the gut.
2) If you consume more calories than your body can use, then it will store it as fat.
If you don't want to get fat, then don't bulk. Eat clean all the time. If you want to gain/preserve your mass, save the calories for before and after your workout. Google for "carb timing". Bulking and cutting doesn't work for everyone. The sooner guys realize this, the sooner they'll get some real results.
bachian saidThe worst of all is that, unlike meso/endomorphs, ectomorphs often look like complete crap when they accumulate fat on the belly, because their arms, legs, backs, etc are still skinny.I used to call one of my cousins a "pregnant rattlesnake."

And what about your diet? Candies, fries, soda and fast foot are supposed to be occasional if not rare treats.
BTW, have you heard of HIIT?
And my body fat went from 6% to 5%. 
Bullwinklemoos saidThat's natural for bulking. Seriously- Lee Priest looks like a bear offseason.
Point being in order to cut, what's working for me is that I just eat lean- about a gram of protein per pound of body weight and just reduce your calorie/kilocalorie intake by upwards of 1000 calories somehow; either by eating super lean or by exercising for a little bit.
I hope that helps.
gta129 said But now I also have this huge guts sticking out.
gta129 saidI started at 120lbs and bulked to 132lbs. I could really see some mass on my chest and legs. But now I also have this huge guts sticking out. I never worked out my abs during bulking thinking it will burn too much calorie and hard my bulking. Now I realize that's stupid. But how do I lose the belly fat without losing the mass i gained from bulking?
Thanks for any help.
