How much of a calorie surplus for a lean bulk

Nutrition Q&A [Moderated]

I am about to start a bulk at about 156 lbs @ 12.3% bf, 5’10, and I wanted to take it slow and bulk for a significant amount of time. I ended my last bulk on 2600 kcal, and I think my maintanance is around 2250, though I gained quiet a bit of fat before I cut down.

My questions are:

  1. how much of a surplus should I start this bulk at?

  2. How much weight should I aim to gain per week / per month?

  3. How do I know when I need to up the amount of calories, ans by how much?

Ben,

  1. 250-500kCal
  2. 0.5-1kg
  3. When you stop gaining weight. 250-500kCal.
