Is "clean" bulcking really a thing?
i'v been bulking for 3 months now, gaint about 8lb and then plateau, can't gain any more weight
i train hard and my muscles look bigger but my weight is stable
am i doing something wrong? i can't eat more as i'm already between 15 and 20% bf
Not really. Dirty vs clean is mostly a matter of being a moron with your surplus vs staying at maintenance+500 calories. Don't let roided influencers pretending their lean mass only bulks are due to weighing out broccoli and chicken on a scale. When you go into surplus and lift, you will gain muscle but also fat no matter how "clean" your diet
so if i don't gain weight on the scale, im not gaining mass then?
i mean muscle mass
You're wrong.
Yes, eating clean and optimal will make a difference in your composition and how you look.
If you think eating 2000 calories in candy bars will make you look good, you're wrong.
Eating clean is intuitive. Eat quality and you will look like quality.
lean bulk
>effectively wastes his time in the gym missing macros
>less energy for workout missing gains further
>Has to autistically track every minute detail of all the shit he eats
dirty bulk
>may have 2-3% extra body fat
>has to spend more money on food
>effectively wastes his time in the gym missing macros
>less energy for workout missing gains further
First he said clean, not lean. Second if he is bulking/gaining weight/eating at a calorie surplus, you're moronic. Missing macros, lol.
>missing macros
>on a bulk
>knows exactly how many calories he needs accordingly with everything he does
Tell me how I know you don't lift
lmao tell me how i know u look like shit. Fatass pretending he's on a "bulk" when he is actually just fat coping

How the frick would you not hit your macros on a bulk, specially a clean one, dumbass?
Clean just refers to the type of food being eaten. Whole foods like chicken, beans, etc, food that is considered 'healthy', as opposed to dirty 'shovel whatever shit you can in your mouth'.
If you're over 18% it's time to cut. Necer let your body accumulate too much fat.
If you still want to bulk you need to eat more.
moron.
>If you're over 18% it's time to cut
Disagree, depends entirely on how your body holds the fat, lean mass in total and goals.
>16%
it's not a cope, just more effective especially for newer lifters who can still make rapid gains
18% is too fat to bulk
your metabolic rate has increased and you need to up the calories. Goyslop is your only solution.
>8 lbs over 3 months
>bulk
topjej

>Is "clean" bulcking really a thing?
Yes pickle lean bulks and never loses abs
>INB4 twink
he has a 370lb Larsen press and 600+ deadlift
>i'v been bulking for 3 months now, gaint about 8lb and then plateau, can't gain any more weight
You should aim for 1lb a week on a bulk, you TDEE became higher as you gained more weight
i'm alredy on the fat side
Im trying to bulk on rice, lentils, chicken, eggs and milk. Hopefully that's clean?
