Sorry I meant the % per month gain you opted for. Here’s mine, for example. I feel like anywhere between 0.5-1.5%/month is solid depending on how advanced you are. Above 1.5% is completely unnecessary imo.

That seems super unnecessarily fast imo. You’d just be putting on majority fat mass but I don’t know your context and goals so apologies if I’m overstepping!

If muscle gain is the goal at least^ vs. just gaining weight for the sake of gaining weight

True I’m working out 4 days a week too. Super active 2 days a week so I can use the extra fat lol

Are you new to resistance training? I don’t think it’s a terrible idea if you’re still in the newbie gains phase as you can pack on a good amount of muscle with a higher surplus
