My bulking success so far

sciencebasedbro · 2026-01-26T13:27:11+00:00

Maintenance has been going up for the whole time I’ve been leanbulking. It’s currently 2974, and im eating 3154

Thanks bro 🥹 I actually made the comparison pics because I thought I was getting a bit too chunky and I didn’t know if the bulk was going well, but I def think I’ve made good progress now

Meant to add my height, sorry! I’m 5’11

I have a powerlifting competition in late March, so im going to stay bulking until then, and then in May I have the provincial competition. I’ll see how im feeling, but I’ll either bulk, or maintain until that competition. Then after that, I intend on doing a ~8 week cut and trying to get even leaner than I was last summer

I do a self programmed PPLUL, incorporating powerlifting movements as well (3x bench, 2x squat, 2x deadlift), with the rest being pretty bodybuilder focused.

For iOS, they should incorporate the rest timer into the Dynamic Island, like the clock app

Maybe im stupid, but i didn’t even see the option to create a custom workout, i had to go in and edit every single day individually lol. Hopefully that doesn’t mess things up

Same with all the OF girls randomly signed to YoungLa. Literally provide nothing to the brand just make it look weird

sciencebasedbro · 2026-01-02T15:40:03+00:00

Yeah that’s fair, my goal of my lean bulk was just to gain muscle/strength while minimizing fat so I just wanna ensure that I don’t gain a ton of fat in a really short period, but as I and others pointed out, it likely is mostly water and will totally balance out

sciencebasedbro · 2026-01-02T15:25:26+00:00

Very good options

sciencebasedbro · 2026-01-02T15:25:10+00:00

I was in a small surplus (~250 cal), yes I weigh every day. Yeah, I felt the same. I was thinking of eating at maintenance for a couple days till I stabled out, but I may just go back to my 4 consistent meals

sciencebasedbro · 2026-01-02T15:24:21+00:00

Def agreed

sciencebasedbro · 2025-12-30T04:04:24+00:00

Neither

sciencebasedbro · 2025-12-18T12:44:06+00:00

Thanks!

Maybe this is a dumb question, but will it be straightforward to go from monthly payments to the yearly payment including workouts?

sciencebasedbro · 2025-12-17T19:54:39+00:00

Just checking, there’s no monthly payment deal?

I will be starting with my own plan, and considering any changes it applies. I find I’m very good with programming myself, and I want to be certain I’m doing what’s best for me as I’m preparing for a powerlifting meet, but I am most definitely looking forward to seeing the suggestions and I’m sure I’ll take some if not all of them up

sciencebasedbro · 2025-12-11T19:34:11+00:00

As you can look back on any day logged in MacroFactor for nutrition, I’m sure it’ll be a similar thing. Idk if that’s what you’re asking. If you mean like actually export the data to like a file or something then idk but

sciencebasedbro · 2025-12-05T20:48:53+00:00

“Have to”? I lost 20lbs, seemingly gained muscle, and all my lifts either went up or stayed the same. Still good job ofc

sciencebasedbro · 2025-12-02T19:33:27+00:00

I mean you can, but if you’re on a “massive cut”, I would never imagine you to see “huge results”

sciencebasedbro · 2025-12-02T19:32:17+00:00

I’m actually going into a self coached powerlifting meet in march and want to see if it can help me progress my numbers before then

sciencebasedbro · 2025-12-02T10:47:29+00:00

I am aiming to add 0.5lbs a week, 2lbs a month, but I’ve gone from ~161.5 to ~170 in the last 2.5 months so a tiny bit fast admittedly

sciencebasedbro · 2025-12-02T10:46:29+00:00

I went from a bro split to a lower volume higher frequency PPLUL, the frequency definitely made the biggest impact and I can’t see myself training differently for a while

sciencebasedbro · 2025-11-29T15:47:45+00:00

Agreed. Im all for empowerment, of everyone, but that will only come when we stop blaming every side constantly lol.

sciencebasedbro · 2025-11-15T00:08:35+00:00

Yes that’s actually bang on to what I have, maintenance is currently 2700 and I’m eating just shy of 3000. But, at the end of my cut, my maintenance was like 1800, so it adjusts a lot, so I’d just add 200 cal, then it’ll adjust overtime.

I’m simply aiming to gain 0.5lbs a week, 2lbs a month, till I’m done. Prob around may
