bulking with cheating days for ectomorphs to trick metabolism

[Elite_Fry]

whenever ive been bulking ive never had cheat days.. but now after i was talking to someone ill probably start. is this true waht he said

1 day a week eat whatever you want. as much junk food as possible

what it does, is , because you have a high metabolism, because of ur slight body type, as youre eating good food and working out, your metabolism is slowing, then your junk food day, ur body gets an overload of carbohydrates, and fast release sugar,fat and protien... and that shocks ur metabolism, and it goes ,.. what the fuck? .. and speeds right up again, stores a whole heap of fat in ur muscles, (that are recovering bigger from broken muscle fibres
and then decides to burn all that fat stored, leaving an increased muscle size and no fat then when youre muscle broken fibres are repairing with larger ones (cuz thats what happens when you lift a weight) its like... umm trying to blow up a baloon thats already been blown up before.. much easier than trying to blow up a water-baloon thats never been blown up before.. real hard
so you train that week.. and so on for 12 wks.. and then ur a beast

is that about right?

thanks

keep in mind that i am no expert and am currenty struggleing with how to get bigger with minimal fat myself but...

i have read and been told that the "metabolism shock" definatley does occur when one has a moderate cheat day

as i understand it though , you still can't eat as much of whatever you want though because to much will still turn to bf.....one good size cheat meal a week, like for instance, going to a family picnic and eating burgers and hot dogs can have a positive effect on you're diet

that said...if you're trying to bulk, the term "cheat" wouldn't even apply.... unless you get fat real easy you should be ok eating whatever you want as long as it's not all junk and you still get enough protien

All a cheat (bad food) day will do is put fat on you.

If anything, working out and eating above maintenance calories will raise your metabolism. The whole point in eating clean is to minimize fat gain.

Edit: I reread your post, I think I better understand what you're getting at.

Since fat is pretty evenly distributed as it's put on, even if a muscle was temporarily enlarged by intramuscular fat, glycogen, whatever, I don't think it would be enough to stretch the fascia (assuming that's what you think it will do).

It's kind of like how synthol supposedly stretches the fascia and is replaced by real muscle as it dissipates. I don't buy it. Even if it IS doing what they say, it still looks like shit.
