Around the 10-15% for men, partitioning factors are at their peak, start to get much over or under that and you start to run into hormonal problems for the most part. P factor starts to go south if you know what I mean. I would suggest a phasing of a bulk/hardening periods. That way you neve allow the fat to accumulate too high, and it won't be so hard to lose. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

Your bulking diet will be the same as your usual clean diet, just a slight increase in calories. If mass gain is your priority, cut back the cardio to a minimum, it is counterproductive to mass gain. If you do cardio, keep it seperate from lifting days and be sure to give your legs plenty of rest between leg day and cardio. -------------- AIM HIGH TIME FLIES

I have found it, along with other "game meats" to be a great way to get bigger WITHOUT losing my six-pack. The only draw back is you're Cholesterol intake will increase significantly. Example: (All numbers are AFTER grilling) For 8 oz. of Elk you can get the following: Calories 331 Total Fat 4 g Saturated Fat 1.5g Polyunsaturated Fat 1g Monounsaturated Fat 1g Cholesterol 165mg Sodium 138mg Potassium 743mg Total Carbohydrate 0g Protein 68g 8 oz. of Deer: Calories 358 Total Fat 7g Saturated Fat 3g Polyunsaturated Fat 1.5g Monounsaturated Fat 2g Cholesterol 254mg Sodium 122mg Potassium 759mg Total Carbohydrate 0g Protein 69g 4oz of squirrel: Calories 196 Total Fat 5g Saturated Fat 1g Polyunsaturated Fat 1.5g Monounsaturated Fat 1.5g Cholesterol 137mg Sodium 135mg Potassium 399mg Total Carbohydrate 0g Protein 35g 8 oz Bison (lean) Ribeye: Calories 263 Total Fat 5.5g Saturated Fat 2g Polyunsaturated Fat 0.5g Monounsaturated Fat 2g Cholesterol 140mg Sodium 109mg Potassium 780mg Total Carbohydrate 0g Protein 50g
