What workout while doing lean gains

[hmenen]

I'm gonna start doing lean gains and as some of you may know, on workout days you actually eat a surplus while on non workout days you eat a significant deficit. So if I continue my current split of push-pull-legs-off, then that might not put me in an effective weekly deficit in order to maximise fat loss, with only 1-2 off days a week. Perhaps someone could suggest an alternative workout program or calorie distribution\weekly allowance

A sample week would be like this
wo day maintenance +10%
wo day maintenance +10%
wo day maintenance +10%
off day maintenance -35%
wo day maintenance +10%
wo day maintenance +10%
wo day maintenance +10%
So all in all i am eating a 25% calorie surplus per week, counterintuitive no

Way way to much work for someone who ought to be eating everything in sight and just doing a basic beginners routine so your muscles get the surplus.

I remember Martin doing SS and saying that heavy training 3x/week is good.

Yes, Martin recommends SS for people at your level.

Also, the fiddling with calorie levels on a day by day basis does nothing - your body will just average out your intake over time. Either bulk or cut (Martin achieved his results by sticking to one or the other - read his transformation article).
