What is a lean bulk?
A lean bulk is a slow, controlled surplus of around 8 to 10 percent over maintenance that builds muscle while keeping fat gain to a minimum. It takes patience, but you spend less time cutting later.
How to lean bulk without getting fat
Keep the surplus small, hit your protein every day, train hard, and track your weight. Aim to gain a small amount each week. If the scale jumps fast, ease the calories back.
