Bulking without losing too much definition?

Options
Hey everyone!

Is there a specific way to gain lean muscle mass, while limiting the amount of fat gain? I know fat is inevitable when bulking, but my goal was to remain as defined as I am now (or close to it) while adding size and strength.

Is this a pipe dream or is it possible?

    The smaller the surplus you are in the less fat you will gain. You don't have to be in a huge surplus to gain muscle.

    200-300 extra daily calories will see you gain slowly and avoid as much fat gain as possible.

    The best way, is to get as lean as you can (10% or lower) before you start bulking.

    Don't get fat.

    Small surplus, slow bulk, acknowledge that you will gain a bit of fat.
