I don't like the idea of putting on a lot of fat while bulking, also because I have read that the fat put on during muscle bulking is resistant to cutting and responds well only to the kind of cutting which would catabolize a lot of lean mass. Someone said that many people are willing to lose 10 pounds of muscles to lose one pound of fat or to put on 10 pounds of fat to put on a pound of muscle. What I think is that if they're willing to do so it is because they think this is the only option they have. I mean if they think that the only way to put on a pound of extra muscle is through putting on 10 pounds of fat they won't give that extra pound of muscle just because of the drawnbacks. But there are probably better ways.
I was reading about various cycles of 5 day bulking and 2 days cutting or 2 weeks bulking and 3 days cutting or 3 week bulking and 2 week cutting.
At least they're thinking about the issue and are trying to find an alternative to 3-4 months fatty bulking and 3-4 months highly catabolic cutting.
Thanks again
