Hi folks. Hope use had a great xmas. I sure did!
Anyhow..
Ive got another 3-4 weeks to go in my cut to get to the stage where i will be as lean as i can be before bulking.
Thier are loads of articles of Lean Bulking etc but i just wanted to see what everyone on here does and the success of it?
First my maintenance is around 2800 calories. They say a 200 calorie surplus gives the same muscle gain as a 500 calorie surplus. Correct? So i assume 3000 calories would be sufficient to start the surplus?
I want to bulk as long as possible this time im just losing too much strength during this length of cut.
I cycle my bike alot and i would factor in any *burnt* calories ie if i cycled an hour i would add in around 4-5 hundred extra calories to keep me in a surplus.
Whats everyone else's tips? Im Keen on GDA's but i hear some can hinder the way we metabolise carbohydrates? Ie Gymnema affects absorption? Also i hear Berberine can hinder muscle growth also? Some see to disagree in this matter but the study does have some prove based around this. So my plan was to just use a very basic home made GDA. Chromium Pincolinate supplement and also Cinnamon? Is this even worth adding in?
What does everyone else stack to reduce fat gain? I dont use Stim products anymore im passed the stage of using them and tbh i feel 10x better sincr i stopped all of them. I know we all add some during the bulk phase but thier must be good ways to deter the body from even wanting to store fat. Ie mostly muscle growth.
Would rather keep the ££££ to as little as i can as some stacks can add up.
Any info would be great.
Thanks
