Hi BBM team,

Based on the below info and my goals, would you advise to do a lean/slow bulk or go the recomp/maintenance route?

Info:

Age: 22
Height: 175 cm
Weight: 151 lbs
Body Fat Percentage: 15-16% (estimate)
Training History: Been training since January 2021 (I trained before but I had a layoff from September - December 2020). Currently, I’m on week 4 of the Beginner template.
Goal: Gain muscle with as little fat gain as possible (stay lean)

Thank you, and thanks for the information that you folks put out!

Hi Jordan,

Yes I have, but wanted to get your thoughts on if recomp/maintenance would be a better option than lean bulk or not, based on my info and goals.

Here’s more info:

Waist Circumference: 31.1 in (79 cm)
Sex: Male

Thanks again!

I don’t think either is likely to be significantly better (or worse) based on any of your information. Pick a path and get to it!
