Increase in bodyfat when bulking

[Fluidic Kimbo]

Without any drugs I've gotten my bodyfat down to about 10 - 12%

Yesterday I started on T3 and Var, so I reckon in a month or two I'll have my bodyfat somewhere between 7 - 9 %

Yesterday I asked my gym owner:

If you get bodyfat down below 8%, how much do you then let it creep up if you do a proper bulk?

His answer was:

You don't, that's just a myth so people can eat crap

He's not as big as Phil Heath but he does have a pro card here in Europe and he's got the kind of physique I'll probably never attain, so I'm inclined to take his advice.

Anyway I think it's worth it to be a little less big if you have decent abs.

Lean bulking would be 300 cals over maintenance cals I would say.

Well at the moment I'm in a deficit of about 1000 - 2000 calls in order to try strip down fat for my sun holiday in mid-November.

Once I've gotten my bodyfat down to about 7 - 9 %, I'll then worry about how I would go about bulking (that's if I ever take AAS again).
