No that’s biology. Never bulk. That’s just retarded. If you eat enough protein you will gain muscle even in a deficit. Unless you are like sub 10%. Even then clean is better. Clean as in eat around your calorie needs. You can eat donuts and everything.

this is a good website

"https://sci-fit.net/bulking-deficit-gaining/"


this is a tl:dr if you want to skip 20 mins of reading
"There are several studies that suggest beginners and novice/intermediate lifters can gain muscle and strength while losing fat"

the muscle gain/strengh gain will probably be a bit less than on a traditional cutting-bulking cycle (maybe 1-2 pounds? depends on how well can u cut it can even be equal)

but you get to enjoy being lower bodyfat all year

try very small deficits doe like around -400 and high protein

"“While greater deficits yield faster weight loss, the percentage of weight loss coming from lean body mass (LBM) tends to increase as the size of the deficit increases ”"

Only for noob gains

you can. I don't gain weight right now, have even lost some, but gain bicep strength and arm circumference is increasing (nucleus overload). For my all other muscles too. But I've been training for only a few months so thats may be because Im a beginner

continue maintenance until your weight stops fluctuating (assuming you're at 10-12%), then increase 100 calories

i am like 15 now i think i never reached below 12%

 

[court monarch777]

decrease 100 calories

 

[Lars]

decrease 100 calories

so 2600 kcal instead of 2700

how old are you buyo

 

[TITUS]

You can if you are a noob lifter, if you are advanced and gymmaxed then impossible.

 

[SixCRY]

depends on your thyroid lvl. If u have shit thyroid then not possible

 

[bruhcel]

you can even cut and build muscle if you eat enough protein

 

[farahanyzz]

no you cant unless ur a noobie or used to go in the gym but dont anymore and have muscle memory, or ur a fat fuck, U can but it will take too much time. if u take a surplus of 200-300 cals u will be much better off, and then rather do some cardio if u get a little fatter than what u wish. First off by bulking u will get much stronger, which = in more gains and better workouts. Being in a caloric surplus is the most anabloic thing u can do. u dont need to get fat, but its so much faster that way.
look at this video, this guy had a phd, u stupid fucks listen to greg doucette and think he know the answer to everyhing like he is jesus. Start using ur own brain, and look at different sources of information
or stay forever small
