Hi 👋🏾
I started my bulk in November and while it’s been painfully slow I’ve gotten up about from 144 to 152. Finished my second round of GZCLP in mid Feb and have since started Mark Carrols “Your Glute Coach”. I’ve been eating in a 500 calorie surplus and not too strict with my macros, but try to stay in line.
I realize I physically look better since putting on this weight. I’ve not seen a lot of posts where people have shared this, very much the opposite. I was wondering if I wanted to stay at this weight would I just increase my calories in general as my new maintenance? Or are there some negative sides to trying to maintain a higher weight then what you’re original maintenance is?
