no

low reps low sets high freq

for exp

insted of doing 3 sets of incline bench for 12-15 reps do 1-2 sets 7-8 reps with a weight so heavy you will almost think you cant get the 7-8th rep

and you do this many days of the week and dont slack with good rest periods inbetween

yea bulkings shit in terms of enjoyment imo idk how some people love to eat so much. i was never twink skinny but i wasnt big at all b4 i started lifting and every time i bulked that shit would get so old after like two weeks.

its worth in the end tho i have good physique now and once you get it its stupidly easy to maintain

dude its so short lived fr. these fat ass niggas who eat like 5k+ a day and cant help themselves are fucking insane. There's genuinely not even enough food to hit that 3k+ everyday brah

I have to put on like 10-15 in a month and a week for my job or ill look retarded wearing a short sleeve. wish me luck bhai 😢

would recommend following this although one set really isn't enough to stimulate lots of growth, especially for bigger muscles. I would also do three sets where one is a lower weight warm up set because starting out with such a high weight can be for bad for longevity - I really fucked up my rotator cuff bc I didn't do this. if you're not on cycle maybe 2 pounds of muscle is possible in this time frame unless you've actually never worked out in your life. Another thing i would recommend is to eat way more Cals - especially right after your lifts because 3 months is practically nothing in the long run and you can cut all that excess chub you will gain in like a week or two - sleep is hella important as well.
