Guys, serious question. Can anyone fill me in?
I've recently started getting curious about bulking and then gaining some more muscle...all this time, because I was overweight, I've always put a huge amount of focus on the losing size and getting leaner part of fitness. But how would I go about in trying to gain a little more muscle + mass?
I currently do forms of intense cardio about 4 times a week and I also lift about 4 times a week. As of now, I am currently at around 180lbs. If I were to commit to this, what would I have to do? I do not want to exclude any of the cardio I've been doing, as I would like to keep my level of fitness the same.
Hypothetically, would all I have to do is lift heavier + eat more? And, perhaps, only lift on the days I haven't trained yet so I could push harder? Then, once I reach a proper size, cut and diet?
I've always been quite confident in the losing weight part but I don't really know what to do in this case...I'd like to commit but there is the fear of the unknown
