What is a clean bulk?

[Airborne_kid]

Sorry if I sound stupid but what is a clean bulk and how is it different from a bulking.

Can you still get abs if you clean bulk.
What type of food would you eat and how would it differ from bulking.

I want to lose weight and get my abs and put some lean muscle on.

Thanks guys

clean bulk means you don't cheat often and you eat clean. some people just max out on cals when bulking, and gain fine, but add fat in the process. eating lean like oats, sweet potatoes, chicken, beef, steak, fish, flax oil... ect ect, you can bulk without the potential for as much fat gain.

depends on which one. november 03? haha good luck. anywho...


right now, based on your goals, you need to add some size. i would suggest a lean bulk. you won't necessarily get leaner, but you will add mass and if you can hold off fat gain, you will look leaner relative to your added size. you can cut after a lean bulker. that's just my opinion of what i would do at your stage in the game.

Thanks for all your answers Novastepp.

Last question what do i eat for a lean bulk diet. Is it alot of protein and a very little amount of carbs.

tailored to what foods you want to eat, your macros percentages, and your caloric needs. yeah that's a good starting point.
