Lean Bulk Definition
A lean bulk is a small surplus that maximises muscle gain while limiting fat gain. It is not maximal eating.
Protein First
Set protein as a floor. Everything else is negotiable within calories.
Carb and Fat Split
Personal tolerance and performance matter. Templates are starting points, not religion.
Where Lean Bulks Fail
Surplus creep. Hidden oils. Alcohol. Under-training.
Coach Angelo’s Assessment
Macros are instrumentation. Discipline is the operating system.
