| its normal to get chubby during the "bulk" phase..just focus more on protein than you are now..get more lean meat and less snickers and sugary junk food...the fat will turn into muscle if you keep lifting. |

LOL.
Is he a bodybuilder? He's probably trying to get you to do something called "bulking," where you eat a bunch of food to keep your body in an anabolic (muscle-building) state. You don't have to eat unhealthy crap like candy to do that, though.
:p
The other phase is called "cutting," where you eat less food and start to lose body fat. Basically, you gain the muscle in the "bulking phase" then cut away the fat in the "cutting phase."
I don't personally do this because I'm not a bodybuilder. I just lift weights for strength-maintenance and general fitness rather than "size" specifically... |

| Also, you certainly don't have to gain a lot of body fat during the bulk phase. You'll gain at least a little because you have a calorie surplus, but you don't have to look like a sumo or even "overweight" really... |

You want protein and carbohydrates in large amounts for muscle gain, not sugary, fatty calories.
And your brother sounds clueless if you're training every day of the week. For hypertrophy, rest for a day after you train so you're only training alternate days and don't train for more than an hour a day, using heavy weights and less reps to avoid over-working your muscles. |

It amazes me that you even need to ask. Please tell me this is a joke. |
