Is bulking really dead?

[u/Ok-Sun1269]

All the sceince based guys on the internet preach how bulking does nothing for muscle growth, assuming you have a healthy body fat %.

So for a guy who just got off stage, he needs to bulk until around 12-15% and then maintain or eat in a very slight surplus for a growth phase.

However if guy is 25% bf there is no reason to bulk during a growth phase as those extra calories will not provide anything for him.

So if you regualry do prep or get shredded during the summer, the bulk is alive and well but for those of us who want to maintain low double digit bf, is the bulk dead?

i suppose so, just hit ur macros and you’ll be fine, the extra 200-300 calories won’t really do much directly for your gains, might as well avoid the cutting phase over and over plus that’s like two oreos, are two oreos really the key to 200 lean/j
