To start out with i know that gymnasts are not supposed to bulk the same way as a bodybuilder would do it, but today i saw this video:
with Yuri Van Gelder. I must say he does not look so ripped in this video as in other videos or as ripped as many other gymnasts. Could he be on a bulk of some form and if so could bulking maybe be beneficial even for a gymnast? He is after all the lord of the rings u know 
There is no sophisticated bulking procedures behind Van Gelder's current look. He is just obviously not watching his diet very closly, and with his activity level reduced from the time he was highly competitive, the result is the physic displayed.
There is no use for bulking phases in gymnastics. on the contrary...
alright thanks for the answer, at least i know now i won't have to eat myself fat
