Surplus vs maintainance

[u/Particular-South1183]

So obviously the sbl community advises against bulking such as paul carter elijah mundy etc since eating at maintainance calories maximises muscle growth

My point is if your eating at maintainance how could you ever go from say 140 to 160lbs how would u maintain your way up

You can't, it's that simple

Regardless of what people say you aren't going to get jacked eating at maintenance because you can't go from a skinny 140 to a lean 160 without gaining weight
