Sal explains that this approach boosts metabolism, allowing for increased caloric intake while becoming leaner. Consistent application of this strategy can lead to significant body recomposition, especially for those who have struggled with weight in the past.In this clip

I've bulked up from 155 to 165 pounds and increased my caloric intake from 2500 to 3200 over about three months. Then I cut down to 2700 calories, increased my steps, and have been at that weight for a few months but still hover around the same weight and haven’t gotten much leaner. However, I am also overbooked at work, probably overtraining, and not getting as much sleep as I should. Has my metabolism caught up? Should I re-bulk for a week and try again?
If I was maintaining at 2850 calories but went on a bulk at 3000 calories and gained 6 pounds, if I cut back to 2800 calories for a week, would I notice fat loss? Then, if I went back to maintenance at 2850 calories, would I be able to keep that physique?
Does your body also get more efficient with calories during a lean bulk (caloric surplus)?
