Unfortunately there's a good chance you're carrying less muscle and more body fat than you think. If you’ve never actually gotten lean (12% give or take), a lot of what you think is muscle is really just fat and water bloat. Most guys eat way more than they need during their gaining phases, pair that up with subpar training, and then think the scale going up means they’re getting jacked when in reality maybe 20% of it is actually lean tissue. If you don’t mind getting fluffier at times, that’s your call. But instead of the typical aggressive bulking and cutting cycles, most will be much better off tightening up their approach with no more than an extra 100-200 extra calories per day. That’s enough to put you in the best position to maximize gains and while staying leaner year round. You’ll look better, feel better, and won’t have to go through a long tedious cutting phase or experience the disappointment of realizing you have 30 pounds to lose instead of 5. #fitness #gym #wor
