So I’ve read that as a beginner, you want to aim for 2-3lbs a month since you can build 1-2 pounds of muscle a month at that stage. A surplus of 200-300 calories is usually what is always recommended for lean bulking.
My question is, if I still maintain a 200-300 calorie surplus into intermediate and advanced stages, will it still be the same weight gain of 2-3 pounds a month? Because as an intermediate you’d build about 10-12 pounds of muscle in that year and as advanced you’d build about 5lbs in a year. Is a 200-300 calorie surplus based off only gaining 2-3lbs a month or is it just based off of continually gaining muscle with as little fat as possible? It wouldn’t make sense to gain 2-3lbs a month as an advanced lifted if you can only gain 5lbs of muscle that year. There would be too much fat gain at that rate.
