![]() ![]() Gaining muscle while staying chiseled (snapped these photos today) ![]() So basically the traditional longterm bulk and cut approach means putting in twice the work with nothing to show for it, except chubby cheeks and stretch marks. And it usually works against you because to get back to lean condition you have to diet, and when you’re dieting you won’t be close to your muscle building potential. Now the last 20% of lean bulking potential means accepting a steady rise in fat. Packing on muscle will be slow, but it will be consistent and you’ll effortlessly hold your definition. The lean bulk macros ensure you’re getting adequate protein and enough calories to support your weight, well then you’re working at about 80% of your muscle building potential. Lean bulking naturally is a slow and steady game and the main driver is performance increases in the gym (getting stronger and adding weight to the bar). That approach is only ever effective with sky high testosterone levels from drug use. Our lean bulk macros don’t rely on huge amounts of calories to trigger muscle growth. The kinobody approach is to get lean once and from there slowly pack on muscle while staying chiseled. Not exactly the most efficient route because once you hit a certain calorie intake – anything above and beyond that will lead to fat storage. Unless of course you want to spend a big chunk of the year looking sloppy and the other chunk of the year enduring low calorie diets. ![]() ![]() I consider this approach to be rather unbecoming and in direct contrast with the theme of kinobody, which is to maintain a certain level of leanness and style year round, while enjoying life.Īt the end of the day, the bulk and cut approach is not what the doctor ordered. This bulk season usually entails big calorie surplus’s and 4-5 lbs of weight gain per month over a 4-6 month period – leading to an unsightly rise in body fat. And so as the temperatures drop the calories rise and the bulk fest commences. This is when everyone decides they want to pack on muscle and aren’t afraid to gain a little fat in the process. In the midst of fall we are entering a time known amongst most fitness circles as bulking season. ![]()
