[@sabresandiego]

Good video. For me personally I mini bulk and mini cut within the same week, all without tracking calories. I simply go by my bodies hunger and satiety signals and my morning weight. So far it’s working incredibly well

[@blancxj]

There is a lot of research on that topic. Many of them say that you don’t need to be in a caloric surplus to build muscle. There are many examples of maingainers or gaintainers that say if you’re in a healthy bf% and you keep your calories at maintenance while progressively overload you will still end up getting more muscular. But anyway. I personally find your target rate of weight gain a bit too rapid. 0.25-0.5lb a week for a natural is more realistic when it comes to lean bulking without gaining too much fat. It’s also important to mention that the more advanced you get the less muscle you’ll be able to build as you get closer to your genetic ceiling.

[@looktueur]

bro 14% is already lean bro bulk up to 20%bf and then cut back down to 15 -12%

[@polawin1]

I’ll be honest. It’s not optimised bulking at 14%. You could do that but you have to accepting looking not your best for a little bit to create more potential and cut first. If I were you personally, I’d do a mini cut (3-4 weeks) and train hard and ensure protein intake is high. That way you’d at least maintain muscle mass and potentially gain muscle whilst losing BF. Then go on the lean bulk. Always good to stay within the 10% - 15% range

Im coming away from being kinda skinny fat(flabby midsection with some minimal upper body muscle development & training basics daily for about a month). I was under the impression i should bulk and the fat will take care of itself as i get stronger or ill cut/re-comp…point is ive been skinny before and i could do more exercises easier but i didnt like feeling /looking week…maybe im using my heavier weight as resistance to get stronger?…so if i cut now before gaining some good amount of muscle,can this lean bulk work for me? will it take me even longer to get bigger and stronger?

[@franbatista9062]

Obviously! I’m currently 169lbs at 13.5% body fat.. I’ll try to get around 9% before I start to increase calories. The secret to preserve all the muscle or even add while cutting is still eat high protein and don’t decrease your calories or not that much, but just add cardio to make the deficit you need to lower your body fat.

[@ayoutubeuser3032]

This video is just wrong advice, bulking is a fad. Building muscle takes time eating extra calories doesn't increase muscle mass as much as people think. You can max gain 15ibs of muscle in first year of training yet with this method gain 0.5-1ib of weight a week, which will be 24-48ibs in a year. You really think most of that is muscle? no just build muscle from a healthy bodyfat percentage, no need to bulk & cut constantly.

[@VA-Del30]

So eat 200 to 300 calls for a lean cut ?

[@franbatista9062]

Incorrect. You need to eat around 200-300 above but high protein diet. I’d suggest 1.2-1.5 grams protein per pound. Macros do matter a lot, and protein is the macronutrient, even in excess amounts, is hard to convert to fat mass. Whereas if you eat too many carbs without needing them, your body will convert that to glucose, sugar and then fat
