5 Signs You’re Putting On More Fat Than Muscle

This is for everyone trying to bulk and look good, but actually harming their physique by putting on too much fat—which will cover up any muscle you’re building.

1️⃣ You’re gaining more than 1% of your body weight per week. Even for someone who’s 200 lbs, gaining 2 lbs per week is way too much. Muscle growth is slow, even for beginners. A caloric surplus only speeds up muscle growth to a small extent, so if you’re gaining more than 1% per week, it’s mostly fat.

2️⃣ Your waist is growing rapidly. You’re not training your waist, so there’s no reason it should be growing much at all—even if you’re training abs or erectors. If your waist is expanding, you’re adding fat.

3️⃣ Your abs are disappearing rapidly. If you’ve never even seen your abs, you shouldn’t be bulking in the first place. But if you had visible abs and they’re vanishing, it’s time to decrease your calories.

4️⃣ Strength isn’t increasing as your weight does. If your body weight is going up every week but the weight you’re lifting isn’t, your body is storing fat—not building muscle tissue. You’re digesting way too many calories with no real benefit.

5️⃣ You’re in a bigger surplus than 200 calories. I used to think a bigger surplus meant bigger gains. Wrong. A surplus only helps muscle growth to a very small extent. Muscle grows 1,000 times slower than fat accumulates, so a huge surplus will only make you look worse.
