If you eat close to maintenance, and train hard, and do high volume (4-5 days a week), not only will you not make any gains, you're just going to get injured, especially connective tissue.
Maybe that's the idea?
Is this a ploy to not only keep natties small, but to give them the same injuries that roiders end up with?
>you only need 30kcal surplus, MORE THAN THAT AND YOU'RE BULKING
>wow, you didn't put on size in 3 years of maingaining? you did something wrong, it's your fault, not Coach Gregs
>MAINGAINING IS BETTER THAN BULKING, it doesn't matter that you won't grow, I don't give a shit, buy my book at CoachGreg.com
>*high pitched whining and screaming like a BPD woman on a period*
>if you don't have abs, your fat, it doesn't matter that you're 130lbs, you have to cut
>buy my cookbook with thousands of grammatical errors, all recipes contain sweeteners, because I'm a frickup and don't practice what I preach
>BULKING MEANS EATING WENDYS AND PIZZA EVERY DAY, STAP IT

>I-I WASN'T WRONG, I-I W-WAS RIGHT, YOU JUST DON' UNDERSTAN
Not a Greg apologist but this thread smacks of fat fricks who use bulking as an excuse to gorge themselves up to 30% bodyfat.
Your post has nothing to do with this shitalian homosexual's lies.

I (op) am leanbulking right now to 155-160 lbs. I don't know what my bf% is, but it's def not 30%. I have well-defined abs and vascular arms.
post body
I did before and IST told me I was a skeleton with testicle skin.
I'm gaining weight very slowly, btw, maybe up a 2-3 lbs. since Jan.
I also add in little minicuts where I up the cardio and eat a little less, to ensure the weight gain is muscle and not fat.
homie it sounds like you're eating even less than greg recommends, it's fricking july, you're on track to gain a whopping 4-6lbs over the course of this year
Based coach Greg making fat dyels seethe.
You don't even lift you dumb Black person.
this is true
i did ppl 5x a week with the big compounds and injured one of my shoulders
once im healed ill just do a more chill approach to lifting
the "train harder" shill is a meme
greg is right
professional bodybuilder off season = eating incredibly dialed in diet with high carbohydrates and protein and low amounts of fat, does fasted cardio every morning for minor lipolysis before entering an anabolic state, takes a frick load of steroids
moron bulking on IST who thinks he's "eating well"= heheh gonna grill a 12 oz ribeye with a covered baked potato as a side, and have a little organic ice cream for dessert

Now you

Mirin' btw. Funny how the ones who post body and have a good physique tend to have similar training/diet philosophies.
thanks anon
i do believe in traditional bulking and cutting, obviously you need to be in a caloric surplus to build muscle, but from watching some of greg's videos his concept of "maingaining" is basically just a buzzword for lean bulking or cutting at a slow deficit, which i think is much better advice than the advice of "gotta eat big to get big, eat everything in sight" or "start doing rolling 72s, fasting is muscle-sparing" that you seen thrown around here
Why would anyone listen to this guy for general fitness advice. He’s a fricking bodybuilder and a shit one at that
Better than NH or AthleanX at least.
In my experience the amount of calories you consume only affects how much training volume you should do to a very small degree. If you go from a 3K calorie incremental slow bulk to a 2k calorie cut, it might change your volume requirements by 5-10%, that's literally it. Whether or not high volume training is bad or not has almost nothing to do with eating at around maintenance.
There's no point in training more than 3 times a week as a natty.
Why do they have no pecs?
what is a good full body 3x week routine
Stronglifts 5x5
i haven’t been in a surplus in years and grew in size / dropped in body fat but i’m also on trt
