Muscle bulking and drying time


Amplify or dry out? Do I build muscle or lose fat at first? In this article we will help you make the right decision whether to amplify or categorize and at what stage you can do it.

A person who wants to bulk up, his main goal is to build muscle, and for someone who wants to lose weight, his main goal is to lose fat.

 

The correct basic rule to do amplification is to build muscle while gaining fat in the least amount possible. As for drying, the basic idea is to lose fat while maintaining the muscles that were built, and the person will switch between the stages of amplification and drying until he gets the muscles he wants, and here begins The question: Do I inflate first or dry it?

 

Before answering this question, there is the idea that you already have fats that you want to lose and muscles that you want to build. If you do not care about building muscle and only want to lose fat, you do not have the right to this question, so you will start losing fat because this is your goal, and the matter The same for those who want to build muscle only and do not care about losing fat, let him start building muscle, but if you want both cases together, there are several factors that you must take into account to make the appropriate decision, which is the current percentage of fat in your body.

 

What is the current percentage of fat in your body?


The more obese you are, the more fat you are and the willingness to put in more calories, which will be stored as fat rather than muscle mass.

 

If you start bulking when you are fat, the bulking phase will end and you will be fatter, so if you start bulking and you have a large percentage of fat, this will make your body in a disastrous situation.

 

So the optimal period to start bulking up is when you have a somewhat toned body, it doesn't have to be an athletic body, but just toned rather than plump.

 

This can be determined based on the percentage of fat, if it is between 10-13% in men or less they can start bulking, also for women if they have a fat percentage between 19-23% or less they can practice bulking.

 

How do you calculate your body fat percentage?


The ideal ways to calculate the percentage of body fat is using electronic scales that determine the percentage of fat with weight, or using calculators that show you the percentage of fat in your body after providing some information about you.

 

In a simpler way, you can take off your clothes and look in the mirror and take some pictures, then look at them and ask yourself are you satisfied with this body? Do you have a lot of fat and need to get rid of it or can I start building muscle immediately?

 

If the answer is: I have a lot of fat and I am an obese person, then the best way is to start losing weight or work on losing more fat, and then go to start the process of bulking.

 

And after you reach your goal of building muscle, you should not stop following the exercises on a daily basis, because this will make you maintain the shape you have reached and make your body fat always low.

But if the answer is: I have a harmonious body and I am not obese, then you can start building muscles and enter the amplification period, and you can define it as a long or short period depending on the goal you aspire to build your muscles.

 

So in short, first determine the percentage of fat in your body to determine whether you can start bulking or losing, and then develop an appropriate diet and exercise program so that it does not make you gain more fat during bulking and does not make you lose muscle mass during slimming.

 

Then, after a sufficient period of time, effort and adaptation, you can switch between the periods of amplification and drying, and this depends on the goal that you aspire to reach, whether in building muscle or losing fat, and then you can repeat each period as you wish.
