how do you work out for BULK instead of tone?

[phatcow]

hmmm what should i do to get "bigger" instead of more cut..

 

[UltraQuiet]

Increase the weight , decrease the reps.

and be sure not to undereat. you can lose any fat later, after you are huge and buff.

Obviously. Low reps, higher weight. Opposite for more cut and less mass.

 

[phatcow]

so i guess i have to use weight gainerts then... hmmm

Tone vs bulk is a big myth. Other than muscle development that can be affected by doing different excercises there is no difference between "bulky" and "cut" muscles on the same person. If you want bulk you develop your muscle size. If you want tone you lose body fat. It's that simple. The greater the proportion of muscle to body fat you have the more "cut" you'll look.

True, I think he is trying to develop size -- so lifting heavy weights and eating high quality (and adequate quantity foods) is a good strategy. After he gains size, he can lose any fat that is covereing the muscles, making him look more ripped. If he is a hard gainer lifting weights may not acually make his muscles much larger. But if one diets while trying to add muscle size, it is not usually as effective.

hmmm is sort of difficult too because asians arent really built wide...

same ideas still apply. That's why you have to be persistent and eat and sleep enough to support muscle growth.

Eat a lot more protein and less carbs.

Less reps, more weight. Eat lots of fat too
