Bulking is just the general term attached to gaining size. the speed at which this happens generally determines how much of it is lean weight and how much is fat. Of course, there are other factors involved, but that is the simple way to put it.

This. Gaining lean muscle gradually IS bulking. And you WILL still gain fat using this method, and you WILL still have to cut eventually.Originally Posted by Dujin77

To make slow lean gains you would be bulking....to gain you need to be in surplus, to lose you need to be in deficit. If you're not a noob lifter you will not gain size at maint. My lean bulk is a 150-200 cal surplus. Bulk doesn't mean cram your face and get fat, when in actuality doing a lean bulk will get you about the same muscle with less fat so your cutting time is less afterwards.Originally Posted by danhaney

My bad on the wording, maybe clean bulk vs dirty bulk would have been better wording. Ive been doing dirty, about 500+ or so to try to maximize my gains since I dont have a lot of mass to begin with. Once I get some more mass and do another cut starting Feb, I will probably do a clean bulk.Originally Posted by Naeem11

slow lean gains often turn into multiple months of training wasted. Eat big get big, know when to stop.Originally Posted by danhaney
