    what do you mean by "lean bulking"..?
    Marcros should be .6 to .8 grams of protein per pound of body weight; .45 grams of fat per pound of body weight; fill in rest with carbs.

    ^ What is a lean bulk, OP?
    • caloric surplus of 250-500
    • 0.6-0.8g of protein per lb of body mass
    • 0.4-0.45g of fat per lb of body mass
    • fill rest of calories with carbs

    i am guessing lean bulk = clean bulk = 250 calorie surplus???????

    You don't really need quite that much protein, but there's nothing wrong with that. If that's your preference, fine.

    The 1 gram protein should be per lb of lean body mass, though 0.8-1.0 is sufficient. Remember, during a bulk carbs are king, protein is more important in a cut so you don't lose much lean mass.

    The whole point of the - means that it is a range, you can pick anywhere in between.. it's common sense.
