Bulking/Cutting Advice Needed!

[P11]

Hey guys, I've been bulking hard for roughly one month right now and I'm staying pretty clean... eating chicken, egg whites, oatmeal, smoked salmon, 1% milk, whole wheat bread, etc. and A LOT of them. I went from 190lbs to 201lbs in the last 28 days hitting the weight room 6 days a week (with the help of mass gainer after every workout). Now, I am gaining muscle mass in my legs, arms, etc. but some fat is now reaching my mid section and I wanted to know I could keep gaining while keeping the mid section somewhat cut. I don't really want to start a strict cutting diet yet, but if that's what has to be done then so be it. Any advice would be appreciated, my current workout plan is below:

Day 1 - Chest & Triceps – Forearms, abs (1.5 hour)
Day 2 - Back & Biceps & Shoulders (1.5 hour)
Day 3 - Legs (quadriceps, hamstrings and calves) (1.5 minutes), Shrugs, abs
Day 4 - Chest & Triceps (1.5 hour)
Day 5 - Back & Biceps & Shoulders (1.5 hour)
Day 6 - Legs (quadriceps, hamstrings and calves) (1.5 minutes) Shrugs, abs
Day 7 – OFF Day (or Cardio)

Current Stats:

Weight: 201 lbs
Height: 6'3
Age: 17

Thanks in advance!

Probably not. It's pretty hard to avoid some fat gain while bulking. Chances are your body is just storing the fat in your stomach first, and typically it's unavoidable (in most people.)

If it really bothers you I'd do maybe a couple more weeks of your bulk then start a short cut to get rid of some fat and do a bulk again (if lean + big is your ultimate goal, which I'm assuming it is.)

You could try cutting back on calories a tad, too.. see if you are still making gains while keeping that extra bf to a minimum.
