its going to be difficult to bulk during wrestling . with the practices and other activites. but if i were you i would bulk for an extra couple months after wresting also.

It will be harder to bulk during wrestling season. 13-15% is the highest I would go in terms of bodyfat %.

Check out my bulking primer and let me know if you have any questions. Also check out your thread about proteins.. I commented on that.

im at 147...im looking to be 165....i never want to be over 15%..keep in mind...i think im an endomorph

You won't get from 10-15% going from 147-165

What do you plan on wrestling at? I would bulk up over what you want to wrestle at so when you cut you will be lean and make weight.

if i could wrestle at 152 it would be nice....160 if i get really solid...im just scared that im going to gain to much fat in the process. my body gains easy

The big thing is to keep track of your weight/BODYFAT. If you can find and get access to a bodpod that is your best bet.

BODPOD

If you can't get that, call a hospital, physical therapist, sports doc, your coach etc.. and ask where you can get tested using hydrodensitometry (underwater weighing). If you can't find either one then just do the 7 site test, take 5 measurements for each site (should have 35) and just take the average. If you keep good records you will see what you are gaining (ratio of muscle to fat) and you will be fine and know exactly where you are for wrestling season.
