i have been bulking up for a while, then i went on a fat losing plan and to help me i took l-carnatine( a fat metaboliser) and it worked well. now i want to bulk up some more. if i w/o 3 times a week and eat lots but also take l-carnatine and do cardio 3 times a week i should bulk up but not put on any fat, or at least keep fat gains down, sound right?

Usually when you "bulk up" you don't do alot of cardio......maybe no more than 10mins. Cardio burns alot of calories, and you need calories to build muscle.....you might be working against your self. I have taking l carntine before and honestly I think its more mental than anything,,,i believe its a kind of amino acid.......it be better for you to get an amino acid stak,,,,that has more than one kinda amino acid.

But what ever works for you man, I don't know you metabolism or your work out schegual. Theres no magic pill to help in weigth loss or to help gain muscle.....all comes down to diet, and excercise.
