Question about bulking.. or not exactly bulking, but just about putting on muscle mass
What's the best way to do this without also gaining fat? Is there actually a way to do this? From what I've read it looks like there's two ways to go about lifting- either bulking or cutting. Isn't there some kind of middle ground where you do both? Or does it just go so ridiculously slow it's not even worth it?
I ask because I run cross country, so obviously I need to keep a lower body fat. But at the same time I do need to gain muscle, I'm only like 140-ish lbs. I'm wondering if accompanying a lifting and diet routine with lots of cardio will keep me from gaining too much fat while putting on muscle
