My first bulk at age 45
I’m 6’3 and weighed 190 when I started (first picture). I weighted 210 in the second picture. I’m guessing my bodyfat went up 5%. So did I gain 10lbs fat and 10lbs of muscle? What do you think based on the picture? Is that a pretty good result for my first bulk?

Lean Bulking BMR or TDEE??
So I decided to lean bulk and did some research on how to do so. A lot of people on the internet talk about basing your diet off your TDEE, if that’s the case then I’m eating around 3,500 calories for a “lean bulk”.

Curious as to how others that lift to failure or near failure feel when they reach that point. This came to mind when thinking about which isolated lifts to incorporate into my program.

Gym routines don’t affect daily calorie count?
Why doesn’t your strength training routine affect your daily calories like cardio does? Or maybe it does and I’m doing something wrong but I see that when I add and exercise like say bench press nothing changes in my calories. Shouldn’t I need to eat more if you have a gym routine?
