    I am not sure who exactly makes these claims but what they mean is probably gaining smallest possible fat possible while gaining muscle. Depending on your genetics and sex, you will gain a lot of fat while gaining muscle. If you try to gain too much in a short time, lets call it "dirty bulk" you simply gain too much fat while gaining that muscle.
    Who knows though, depends on the context of this sentence.

    And gaining "lean muscle" is possible for newbies. People gaining muscle while cutting is not unheard of.
    Don't get the hate towards the guy? I mean clearly he was misdirected with illusions and all but, really?

    No hate at all. Dude was willing to give quite literally everything he had to something he loved. That's more than most can say.

    No one can be on that much gear while simply being misdirected about it. He just overshot his mark one too many times.

    They call it lean as in with less body fat

    That is a function of body fat , not muscle

    Suggest you read this thread - unlike the current one, the link is an actual serious thread - and ask questions there if you still have some:

    Whilst at the gym on Monday, an advert came up for Lean Protein shakes and bars and it reminded me of this thread.
    What on earth is Lean Protein?

    This is all just MARKETING terminology. Just like "toning". The more you can suggest a "no fat" "no bulk" "long and lean" approach, you'll catch female attention and females tend to spend more money than males do on personal improvement. It's all BS to those who are in the know, but many people still have no idea how physiology actually works. See, we do use this stuff in real life and not just in the class room.
