If you want to gain muscle fast, bulking is usually the way to go. Bulking involves eating more food than normal which creates a significant calorie surplus. These extra calories fuel your workouts, speed up muscle repair and growth and lead to a noticeable increase in muscle size and body weight.
Bulking is usually combined with heavy strength training and workouts built around the compound lifts, such as the squat, deadlifts, and bench press. So, as you gain muscle and body weight, you’ll also get stronger, too.
Unfortunately, as you gain muscle and strength, during a bulk, you’ll also accumulate body fat. How much depends on the size of your calorie surplus, how long you bulk for, and your basic body type. Endomorphs tend to gain fat faster than ectomorphs and mesomorphs.

Eventually, most lifters either reach their target body weight, build as much muscle as they want, or realize they’ve gained enough fat and need to start getting lean. This means switching from bulking to cutting.
Cutting essentially means losing the layer of fat that obscures your newly built muscle mass.
In this step-by-step guide, we lead you through the process of cutting after bulking.
