It would be better for someone of your age to not think of it as a bulk/cut.

For that matter, keep in mind that bulk/cutting generally applies to full-grown adults who also happen to be using steroids.

How much weight did you gain?

What did you look like before your “bulk”?

You know that you’ll look a helluva lot better if you just take advantage of puberty (if you’ve reached that yet) and work and eat like a mad man right?

Studies suggest that if being obese can reduce testosterone levels.

You’re not obese. You look like a normal, skinny 14 year old.

Seriously, stop thinking of yourself as “fat”. Instead, think of yourself as “untrained and lacking in any muscle definition whatsoever”.

That may help a lot.

I weighed around 65-70kg before bulking. I looked similar just a littler smaller in the torso.

What do you mean by not bulking/cutting? What should I do instead? By bulking I just mean eating enough to build muscle, and cutting I mean shredding fat.

I attached a pre bulk photo here. This is around mid-late spring.

As for how long I have bulked, I started around mid may.

Traditionally, bulking means eating so much that you gain a lot of fat along with the muscle you gain. Cutting is what you do months, if not years, later where you lose as much bf as possible while retaining muscle mass.

“Eating enough to build muscle” isn’t bulking, in other words. That’s just eating.

Honestly, I don’t see a difference at all.

Yeah, as I said my lifts didn’t really increase that much. Squat from 40 to 60, bench from 37.5 to 50 and deadlift from 60 to 90. I’m gonna keep on trying harder to increase lifts and build muscle.

I guess it’s all subjective then. Cos that’s exactly what i ate yesterday lol. But then my metabolism is still ridiculously fast at my age.

Bottomline, just don’t become a fat fuck.

Eating excess junk food to gain weight. Don’t do it, unless you really seriously don’t give a shit about your body fat levels.

Agreed. Anything in excess is bad. But i would say the amount that makes something excessive is individual.
