I started My Mass cycle at about 180lbs. It's been 4 weeks and I'm up to about 186-187lbs. I have noticed a little of fat around my stomach not much but i know you should expect some fat when on a mass cycle. I was stuck in a plateau for a while but i recently switched my entire routine around along with my diet. Since then i have seen results weekly. I was just wondering if this is too much muscle to be put on in 4 weeks and if i should adjust my diet?

i see nothing wrong with it, because as you pointed out you did gain a little fat so its not all muscle. and the eating you do on a mass cycle will make your weight go up as well as the muscle. so as far as i see, you're doing just fine.

Get your weight up, kid

No I haven't been doing cardio. i usually don't do cardio on a mass cycle. I'm guessing that it would be a good idea to keep the fat gain to a minimum. I just don't want to burn more calories than i take in, since it's hard eating the right amount of carbs and protein while i'm at college

do you have to do cardio on a mass building cycle? wouldnt that slow down the the muscle building process? Also i have heard about a powder or tablet that you take and in a few weeks you are completely cut. sounds pretty good but would like to know how healthy it is if anyone knows.
