Bulk Time

I'm looking to bulk up myself, got that natural slim gene(cant remember- ectomorph is it) SO have a six pack and naturally cut, but want to get bigger. Weigh about 70 Kgs and can bench 3 or 4 sets of 70 easily. So want to know how to bulk up. what to eat and what sets to be doing.
I usually squat sets of 8/10 of up to 70 or 80 kg.

Curl about 30 kg and tricep pulls about 35 kg.

DD, is it just me, but i'm able to vastly increase the amount of weight i'm pulling with this creatine powder!

Not vastly but you should be able to push harder during a workout.

My understanding of it is that creatine allows the muscles to hold more water allowing you to work them harder.

Dont be suprised if you add 3-5lbs of water weight in the first week!

I've cut out the protein shakes and creatine as I am not getting as much cardio done now that the weather has turned...I was ill with a chest infection for about 21 days and lost a fair amount of strength in that time...Had to knock 4kg off my dumbbell weight which is really frustrating.

The create helps supply the ATP phase to allow you to push out more reps. I'm struggling to make reps of 8 now. Was definitely easier with the creatine.

Why would you stop creatine other than cycling off?

Is has no effect on weight loss if thats why?

So i hear but as i'm pushing for bulk and increase in strength/weight i'll not mind the odd downside.

Im on the same plan

I normally take it mixed with my protein shakes, so there is no good reason why i stopped taking it...I used to take it with water, so might start doing that again.

I take it by the spoonful with a sip of water.

The only reason not to take it would be if you were cycling off. 3 months on, 1 month off as otherwise your body is used to it and it isnt as effective.

What is bulking/cutting and the desired end result? Can an American do it or are we beyond hope?

soccer?lol.
