Bodybuilding Bulking Phase

(Flagstaff, Arizona)

Questions:

I have a few bodybuilding questions, thanks.

Must I go through a bulking phase in order to reach maximum results?

Will cardio or other forms of high intensity exercises hinder my muscle building progression during my bulking phase?

Can a person who has been weight lifting for a few years experiment with working out more often? Or is this not a good idea during my bulking phase?

If a body part is not up to speed with other areas of the body, meaning there are muscle groups that are not as well developed, should I work that area more?

Answer:

"Must I go through a bulking phase in order to reach maximum results?"

No, this is not necessary. When you think "bulking" think maximum weight gain from over 90% fat and water retention.

"Will cardio or other forms of high intensity exercises hinder my muscle building progression?"

Cardio is great for the muscles. Do cardio often.

"Can a person who has been weight lifting for a few years experiment with working out more often? Or is this not a good idea?"

Yes, experiment.

"If a body part is not up to speed with other areas of the body, meaning there are muscle groups that are not as well developed, should I work that area more?"

You could, or you could try new exercises, or you could change the amount of weight you use, try different rep ranges... Lots of options.
