7 Mistakes YOU Are Making Whilst Lean Bulking (Thread):

If you're skinny and want to pack on the beef, without:

- Dreamer Bulking
- 'Fulking'
- GOMAD

And getting fat as hell...

Then there's probably quite a few areas in which you could improve.

Let's get started with...

Mistake #1 - You Focus TOO MUCH On Protein

Whilst protein provides the building blocks of gaining mass, they are just the building blocks.

It's no good mindlessly throwing heaps upon heaps of building blocks without any planning.

Plus:

From a simple energy balance standpoint, protein is INCREDIBLY satiating, which makes you want to eat less food.

Which makes it almost impossible for you to eat a calorie surplus.

Which makes it almost impossible to gain muscle.

Don't go OVERBOARD with protein.

Mistake #2 - You Have Severe Carbophobia

I know, I know.

It's trendy to shit yourself when you hear the word 'carbz'

But it's not helpful if you want to get:

- Big
- Strong
- Masculine

Zero carbs is for the obese, not for you...

Instead, you want to be focusing on getting as many (clean) carbs into your diet as possible, particularly;

On training days.

Carb-cycling is a VERY helpful tool to use if you want to get bigger without unnecessary fat gain.

Mistake #3 - You Do Too Much Cardio

Beyond a certain threshold, this is DIRECTLY going to interfere with your muscle gains.

Not only from a training standpoint, but also;

It's burning too many calories, and you already struggle to eat enough.

Save them for lifting.

Next:

Mistake #4 - You Don't Track Your Calorie Intake

You don't have to be religious with this, AT ALL. I'm not.

But you DO need to have a rough figure in your head.

The amount of times I've heard:

"No matter WHAT I eat, I just CAN'T gain weight!"

And then we start tracking and low and behold, the dude is only eating...

1600 calories.

You're operating based on feelings, not facts.

Facts are what get results, not feelings.

Next:

Mistake #5 - You're Not Tracking Your Weekly Average Bodyweight

There's a big problem with weighing yourself every day:

The scale fluctuates, big time.

You already know this.

But weekly averages?

They're very helpful. You NEED to know that you're slowly gaining weight...

Mistake #6 - You Do Too Much Isolation Work In The Gym

Barbell curls will grow your arms, but getting brutally strong at weighted chin-ups will grow them faster, especially when you do barbell curls AFTERWARDS.

Do your iso's.

But make sure they're not the FOCUS.

Finally:

Mistake #7 - You Don't Pay Enough Attention To Post-Workout Nutrition On Training Days

Again, this links back to previous points:

You need CARBS in this meal, not just protein. Otherwise it's going to be really difficult to get bigger and stronger.

Do you want to get MILES more muscular, and stop stalling out in the gym?
