Started Bulking : 03/03/2004, 5"10, 127lbs, 6%
Today : 14/04/2004, 5"10, 138lbs, ?%

I've been watching my weight every week and it seems like I'm gaining between 1 to 1.5lbs per week.

and my calorie intake is not very high (I'm eating about 100-200 cal above my maintenance level p.d)

I'm after a 4 months cutting period, is there any chance I'm gaining weight faster now since It's easier for my body to recover lost muscle mass from the cutting phase ?
Or am I just getting fat ? :(

Are your pants getting tighter? Do you have a tape measure or body fat calipers? That's really the only way to tell. Scales can't tell you whether it's fat or muscle.

ETA: By the way, if you're bulking you're supposed to be gaining weight. ;)

I think it's pretty normal to gain a lot of water weight after you finish a cutting phase. Your body stores some extra nutrients with water and accesses them during workouts to provide extra energy. When you run a calorie defecit, that "buffer" is the first thing to go and then you start burning fat. So you can lose 8-12 lbs of body weight in your first week or two of cutting -- but that's mostly water. When you stop cutting, your body will store that energy again. It's not fat, and it's easily converted into muscle and strength gains. In fact, if you get measured, it will record as lean mass.

In short, I don't think you're getting fat, but you're probably not gaining 1.5 lbs of muscle a week either. The extra weight is probably extra water that you need to build muscle and have energy for your workouts. I would expect that your weight gain will slow down significantly from now on, as you've probably restored your entire buffer with the weight you've gained so far.

I'm finishing my workout program in a week or so, then I take a week off (I do that every 7-8 weeks ).

I'll measure my bf then,
hopefully it wont be too high :/

thanks for cheering me up though. :tucool:
