If you're currently sitting at a reasonably lean body fat level and your primary goal is to build muscle, I'd strongly recommend that you lean bulk rather than maingaining. "But maingaining IS lean bulking!"⁣ Greg Doucette has said in his most recent videos that you straight up "don't need a calorie surplus" and that if you're eating even 200 calories above maintenance "you're going to get fat".⁣ That's not lean bulking - that's basically just eating at maintenance.⁣ Now when we're dealing with such small numbers (even a 200 calorie surplus), it's impossible to track that precisely. You can't count exactly how many calories are in every food you eat, and your expenditure is a moving target as well.⁣ It's moreso about the over-arching mentality.⁣ When you're stuck in the mindset of "not gaining ANY body fat" and "keeping your abs year round", you simply run the risk of under eating. ⁣ You might still make some muscle building progress, but it'll come at a much slower pace than simply running regular bulking/cutting cycles, and you're much more liable to just stall out at some point.⁣ This doesn't mean you dirty bulk and turn into a fat slob and then spend months and months in a cutting phase dieting the fat off.⁣ It just means a small ebb and flow to your intake where you eat a bit above baseline for a period of time to maximize your muscle building progress (approx. 200ish calories - again, it’s just an estimate), and then insert brief "clean up" phases when needed.⁣ This way you're giving yourself the best tool in both scenarios (a surplus or a deficit) toward a definite goal, rather than just hanging around in no man's land and not being sure whether you're truly progressing with your bodybuilding program or not.
