You will need to provide more information about yourself - specifically your training background for a more specific answer, however, for a generic answer, as LolBro says - caloric surplus and a good training routine that includes progressive overload.0

Lift heavy weights and do compounds exercise instead of isolation movement and do 30 sec. Work 30 sec. Rest and change your exercise every month so that your muscle will not get to use to the same exercise you do in this way your muscle will be confuse.and eat alot of protien.. eg. Lean beef, chicken, fish and vegtable. TRAIN HARD BABY0

high protein and low-fat/carb diet, increase reps rather than weight, I wouldn't bother with too much cardio0

yes, true, I mean compared to a 'normal' diet. It's inherently difficult to gain and stay lean at the same time. I'm not saying it's not possibe, but there's a reason why a lot of people bulk and cut.0 -

You need carbs for bulking- insulin spikes are part of the how/why you build muscle.
So- you're comment made no sense- and also what you said here- isn't . I just.
Perhaps I haven't had enough coffee this morning.0 -
ok, wasn't my intention to confuse0

Well you did.
Because the answer isn't high or low anything.
The answer is eat more food.
and lift all the things- in a progressive manner.

so a simple calorie surplus combined with training will get me my "lean" gains?
Wow, didn't know that

There is no such thing as lean gains.
You can't get wrapped up around being lean and gaining- it's not worth your time. Bulk and don't worry about getting "fat" you won't get just fat if you are bulking- yes you'll get bigger but you aren't going to just get fat like you think. You wind up getting bigger everywhere and filling out.
it's hard enough to put on muscle- and if you're so caught up with not getting to fat- you're essentially hammstringing your own efforts to gain.
Accept the fat gain and get swole son.
otherwise- you wind up in generic- not gaining- not losing land.

How does that even make sense? Since fat has more calories, wouldn't it be more efficient to watch the fat in order to better control surplus? You're contradicting yourself.0 -
...sorry guys, I take everything back...I'm clearly not thinking straight.0

Compound movements: Yes.
30 second work/rest: No, usually. For isolation exercises, you can probably get away with this. If you're moving heavy weights with compound exercises, then you rest as much as you need - typically (but not always) 1-2 minutes.
Change exercise every month: No. You need to progress. You will not progress very well if you keep changing what you're doing.
A lot of protein: a lot of carbs is better for bulking.
Train hard: Yes, but train smart.

Easiest example as to why it's better to eat higher carbs while bulking. Glycogen. You use glycogen while lifting weights (intense activity.) If you eat too low carb, your body cannibalizes the protein you eat to convert it to glycogen instead of using it to build Up the muscle, minimizing potential gains. Also, carbs will stimulate higher insulin levels than protein alone, which will in turn stimulate more IGF-1 and HGH release, also leading to more muscle gains.0
