If you want to know how to bulk without getting fluffy, it comes down to one decision: lean bulk, fast bulk, or maingaining.
In this 90-day experiment, Dayton (my brother-in-law) tested all three.
We tracked his results with DXA scans plus ultrasound/skinfolds/circumference measurements and compared them to what happened in the gym — because the scale alone can’t tell you if you’re gaining muscle or fat.
For protein, Dayton aimed for at least 100g/day from a variety of sources, and the plan left room for carbs to support training.
And if you’d like to hit your protein requirements without breaking the bank, I show you exactly how you can build an effective and healthy muscle-building meal plan on a budget here.
To see what actually happened — not just what the scale suggested — we used:
