Big belly when bulking?

when you bulk you should be working out your TDEE and adding around 200cal to it. Anything more and you'll just get fatter than necessary.

and bulking should be through additional complex carbs and healthy fats. The extra 200cal should be made up of these.

The only time I would suggest dirty bulking if you're adding 200,400,600cal and not gaining any weight. This is obviously not the case for you. Lighten the cals and don't eat like a fat fuck

If you have a belly, you are 20% plus. Probably deep in the 20s or higher.

Someone who is 18% body fat is good looking, looks like they lift and their friends wouldn’t be joking about athleticism.

If you’re fat, you need to cut. 200 pounds and no muscles? Still cut. Lift heavy and eat protein.

I’m exact same height, and slow bulked to 210 from 180 before throwing in the towel and starting to cut again. Hated being out of breath from something like a hike, and most of all fat goes to my face quick and that’s also frustrating on top of just less definition.

Thinking to get to 195-200 to be in good shape and enjoy spring/summer/fall for a while before restarting.

You’re bulking too fast

If you’re 6’3” and 200 lbs., which isn’t big if you’re mostly muscle and in good shape, then this tells me that you’re fat. You don’t “have a belly while bulking”, you’re just fat. You should be 230 lbs. of pure muscle at your height. If you weren’t fat you wouldn’t have a “belly”. Take some accountability, you’re fat. I’d actually consider you “skinny fat” since you’re so underweight for your height. You’re not in a good place. Time to get to work, fatty.

Bulking is broscrience. You should cut

Well spillover is gonna happen. At 6.3 you should bulk till you hit 250 to 270, then you can start cutting. Hopefully by then you have buildup enough muscle to easily cut and you could end up 220ish lbs lean
