    You'll still add some BF%.... It may be minimized, but it'll still occur.

    He never said that he doesn't gain any fat and just wants pure muscle. He just said he wanted to increase his muscle mass while staying lean in the process.

    LONG and SLOW process...that's all.

    I agree. For most people building muscle is a slow process (including me ofcourse).

    Depending on your body type and genetics will be the one way you can fall back on when it comes to gaining or losing weight, honestly just try out different cal surplus above maintenance, on average in someones first 2 years of bulking they can only gain 8 kg "on average" so technically if your gaining properly you should be going for 1-2lbs a month not very much but muscles are a pain to grow :(

    That's like swimming upstream, bulk then cut....101 my friend

    The original bulk & cut process does definitely work, but if you start lean stay lean it may take about twice the time but at the end of the day wouldn't you like to be able to see your gains ? Not hidden under a layer of fat ?

    Hmmm.....kinda a double-edged sword honestly.
    Cause for someone like me, doing a slow lean bulk.....can get frustrating as hell.

    Yeah im currently in your shoes mate, I've done the traditional cut n bulk method and me having naturally quite low bf and a skinny face + bart simpson belly wasnt fun, slow lean gains year round is where its at, in my opinion
