How has your lean bulking progress looked?

[Jahyoo]

For those who are undergoing a lean bulking approach, I'm curious as to what your progress has been on a month-to-month basis, or even a week-to-week basis. Support your responses with daily calorie intake, changes in that caloric intake as the weeks progress, and how much of a surplus above maintenance you are consuming. Also, when did you start noticing visible signs of progress?
Thanks!

Average monthly weight increasing in 1-1.5lb.
Around 100-200 surplus

Good progress and physique, Mikeez.

Assuming you're not a beginner, you won't notice much of a visual change. Most of the change on a bulk is the strength gains, and then either after a long or a short while depending on how small or large your deficit was, you end up with too much fat. Then you cut, and hopefully you added enough muscle to make a difference when you're finished with that.

Is this what you've experienced?

What do you mean? That's what everyone experiences, its just biology.

Call me not-serious or whatever you like but I lean bulked for 2 months with minimal gains (it's possible that I wasn't eating enough as I did find my self hungry no matter what I ate) Been on a dirty bulk for the last few months and have seen exponential gainz. After a cut I was at like 143 and I'm 167 now and still have some ab definition. Plus who doesn't want to eat burger steak and pizza galore.

Even in a beginner, past a certain point any increase in scale weight is fat.
