If my maintenance is 3500 calories and I eat slightly above, let’s say 3700 calories, while focusing on getting strong and building muscle, would my maintenance ultimately rise to 3700 calories over time as I gain more muscle? Thank you.
I would like to gain significant muscle and get stronger in my lifts. I have been doing your programs for about 2 years now, mostly at maintenance calories, and I have gotten a little stronger. However, I know I need to do a reverse diet or bulk. I have been eating around 1700-1900 calories per day (maintenance or slightly below) and weigh about 120 lbs. Explain to me exactly how to do a bulk/reverse diet to achieve my goals. I’d eventually like to lean out and increase my maintenance calories to about 2400-2500 per day. Walk me through exactly how to achieve this.
I'm a lean person, very active, and strength training 3 times a week. I've decided to bump up my calories by 50, from a maintenance level of 2850 calories to 2900 calories. I'm seeing more muscle definition while doing less work in the gym. What's going on?
