Going to bulk till May !What does a brother need?

[ignorethis]

Dont run from carbs. You will def need more carbs than protein.

Im bulking now. Here is how a typical day looks.

Breakfast: whole wheat choco chip pancakes + milk: ~1300kcal, ~25g protein
Post workout meal: homemade granola bar + whey shake: ~900kcal, ~125g protein
Late lunch: baked chicken thighs and OJ: ~800kcal, ~100g protein
Dinner: pasta + pesto and veggies: ~800kcal, ~20g protein

So on a typical lifting day I am getting damn near 300g/protein, but I also probably get a good 400-500g of carbs and maybe 50-60g of fat. Carbs are energy, you need that. The diet you're thinking of is better for cutting. "Dirty" bulking is OK as long as you keep your shyt in check and are using those calories to make gains.

how the hell you get 125g of protein out of one whey shake. My shyt like 25g a scoop and I use two scoops

Oh, and "dirty bulk" and "clean bulk" just refers to how much over maintenance calories you're taking in....not the "quality" of the food.

< 500 over maintenance = clean
> 500 over maintenance = dirty

That's not true. Dirty bulks don't have the vitamins and minerals have a clean bulk. The nuts, sweat potato's, whole grains, omega oils, monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats

You can hit your key macros consistently eating McDonald's meals. Vitamins and nutrients? Not so much.

Word

If your goal is say 3,000 calories on a bulk. 3,000 cals of bullshyt will get you a different body composition than 3,000 calories of quality food.

It's not just about a # on a scale.

too much broscience in this section

Of course there's a difference.

But that is NOT what clean/dirty bulk means.

carbs creatine and protien(from food...very minimal from whey or supplement)

Lifting program should focus on strength training reverse pyramid training start out heavy weight in 5-8 rep range with 2-3 minutes rest in between sets ...if you want to have a pumped look you can do a high rep lower weight set without any rest right after your last set

every week add 2.5-5 lbs to the exercise you did last week...only way to get bigger is to get stronger and having the right mix of calories...consider going to a dietician to get you meal plan with the right macros for yourself and your target weight
