Is my bulk on track?

[LeanMeOut]

Yeah, I have been doing 30mins of cardio 3x a week. But I also work out in the hot ass weather for at least 4 hours a day 5 days a week, so I can probably just drop cardio all together.

Also, Swole, this scale is pretty bad ass it tells my weight bf% and my water% (mine stays right around 63%). I bought it when I got tested the real way (the water chamber dill). The scale was withing .1% of what the water chamber deal told me I was (totally slipped my mind what it is called right now).

Dude you are in the same boat as my lifting partner..... he works construction and is on roofs all day in the sun and lifting $hit etc..... I told him just like I'll tell you. Up your kcals..... you have to. You are more physically active and have a demanding job.... don't do it drastically just slightly until you start to gain.

it could take up to 4 weeks to gain 1 pound of lean muscle and usually the most lbm you could gain in a month is 2 pounds. so if you've gained 1 or 2 pounds of lbm in 7 weeks and the rest is fat/water, i say good work. no reason to get sloppy when bulking, that is old school and out dated - unless you plan to compete and need to change your entire physique, then 1 to 2 good years of really bulking is more than likely necessary unless your genetically gifted for mass.

Dude he is 19 years old..... he can blow up easily without putting on excess fat. I know he can gain more than 1-2 pounds a month of LBM..... He needs to up the cals especially given his current work conditions. If he starts to gain excess fat then he can impliment the cardio back into it, but at 19 I doubt he is going to have a lot of fat gain with proper diet. I know I sure don't.
