is there a way to bulk and cut at the same time? How would it be done?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Conflicting goals really. If you wish to maximise bulking then no, it would be almost impossible to remain lean. But there are variables to consider, not least the metabolism of the individual and how clean you eat. If you are naturally lean you are unlikely to put on too much bodyfat as you bulk but at the same time you will find it harder to gain the size you desire. If you are relatively untrained and have minimal muscle mass then as you bulk you may appear leaner too due to a change in body composition but this will only extend so far. Bulk also implies putting on a lot of weight quickly which is not as easy as it sounds for some people. If you think you need more size I would use the bulking kind of approach for now and see how your body reacts, how quickly you put muscle size on, how much fat you hold, etc. Would not be too concerned with cutting up for now.

YES! It is possible and can be done but it's a lot of trouble and it doesn't happen "overnight". I personally bulked last year to about 195 and through a proper diet and workout program I was able to lose about 20 pounds of weight, add muscle and end up stronger than I was 20 pounds heavier.
My advice is to bulk but cleanly and slowly. VERY SLOWLY. I'm on a diet to gain about 5-8 pounds a YEAR for the next 3 years and ultimately be a ripped 200 pounds. The catch is I have to stay cut and pack on only muscle. I know I can do it but it takes patience and determination.
If your looking for a fast thing aim to BULK and then CUT it up when you get done.
Peace

What the hell? What's the point of THAT? You can gain what you want to gain in your 3 year time span in like a month, then cut off the excess fat in another month. Why waste 3 years?Originally posted by Army_of_One

I bulked before and it worked but I put on so much fat with it and I worked real hard to take it off. I'm just going off my body and how I know it works
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
That's a fair and realistic approach Army of One. I wouldn't consider that a waste of time at all. After three years that would be a gain of 15-24lbs of lean muscle tissue, a very respectable amount (there is no way anyone could gain that in a month even if juicing - LBM remember), plus you would stay in good condition thoughout.
