Far to vague for anyone to give any decent information

How to not get fat? Basically don’t eat too much.

2-3lbs gain maximum, per month, after water weight etc is a good rate of gain. 10 months later you’re 30lbs up, 10lbs is muscle if you’re lucky, 20lbs to diet off which is 6-8 weeks work.

I cut out carbs and eat more protein and fat on cycle. Weight climbs slower but I look better in the mirror. In the end what is more important? The number on the scale or how you look in the mirror?

Don’t overeat. 
I always used to put on 20kg on a 12 week bulk and got fat

You cut out carbs to bulk?

I like to stay lean year round. I tried the extreme bulking route once and did not like how I looked by the end of the cycle despite gaining lots of size. Carbs on cycle just blows me up and not in a good way.

I think you'll find cutting out carbs is possibly going a bit far the opposite way from an "extreme bulk" mate

Eat large quantities of beef n rice or chicken..see how fat you get

[Upthedose 36]

Maintence calories + 300-500 is ideal imo. Never again will I bulk on any more than that.

Without carbs on cycle you ain't growing. Not muscle tissue anyway. 

[Hawker90j 23]

Why would cutting out carbs make you stay lean? Eating the same amount of calories in protein and fats as you would with carbs would cause you to gain the same amount of fat. Assuming you are over your maintenance. Stop spreading nonsense

Honestly I think people make this rubbish up and convince themselves what they are doing is some secret formula to help build muscle. It’s simple eat slightly above surplus with enough protein to sustain growth and recovery with sleep, water and steroids. Cutting out carbs when bulking is well plain stupid. If anything bulking and on gear you can reduce protein slightly in place for using those kcals from carbs 

 

OP if your already ‘shredded’ you must know what your talking about by now anyway?

Slightly less diplomatic than how I put it lol

But still correct

Carbs are your energy source why on earth would you cut them out especially on a bulk? Too many excess calories make you fat not carbs. Can't believe you're on a cycle when you don't know basic nutrition

Not just that. Muscles are full of glycogen. That comes from carbs I'm sure? 

@Bensif mentioned it in another thread a few weeks back when someone mentioned keto when bulking.

Exactly mate. I've always had moderate carbs even when cutting. Keto is just bollocks to me although some people apparently get appetite suppression benefits from it when cutting but to use it for bulking is ridiculous lol

I've used it before when dieting but it doesn't help any more than any other diet, does it. Just another way of lowering calories but with 2 weeks of bad headaches!

"Shredded" is quite a claim.

I'm willing to bet that in this instance,  "shredded" means:

vague outline of abs if standing at the appropriate angle in the excellent downlight of the bathroom mirror.

Well he doesn't mean shredded wheat there's too many carbs in that for him

Exactly - this is why you feel and look ‘flat’ when on a low carb diet.  Not only do you need carbs to grow they also make you look much fuller.

I’m dieting at the moment and still eating 250g-300g carbs per day.

[Chicken_Boy 347]

You need SOME carbs. Even if it's just 80 - 100g a day.

Carbs = fuller look, more energy, better workouts, less grouchy.

hahaha this thread has had me chuckling away. The poor bastard has just been absolutely 'shredded' to pieces here by every single person......  *pun intended*
