i dont think you gained 20 to 20lbs of weight in 2 months, that's it a shit ton of calories, and 10lbs of that wasn't muscle either. on average on the first year of working out, provided you are executing the exercise properly ( which people in their first year of working out most don't, your nutrition is right, your protein intake is consistent every day, you're executing your contraction properly, you'll gain anywhere between 4-12 lbs of muscle in the first year. then from then on it decreases and as you get older the harder it is to put on muscle. and you don't need to bulk at all, there is no lean bulking or heavy bulking, just eat the right amount of your daily increase as the only things that will affect your muscle growth is how you perform the exercise and contract the muscle and create progressive overload over time, your daily protein intake and sleep as your muscles recover and grow through sleep. it's not about lean bulking and definitely eating everything in your way, it's about getting on a steady eating routine daily and not going over 300 caloric maintenance as no more than that is needed. but you seem like a good guy and want to help people th best way you know how and there were some good tips in this video too, but i hope people understand in order to build muscle no amount of bulking is needed as that will not cause more muscle growth.

I don't agree with the eating healthy over unhealthy food part, it's calories in vs calories out in my eyes that's what matters, and I just focus on the protein macros(to hold on to muscle on a cut, and help add muscle on a bulk.
So if I was on a calorie surplus of 3500 calories and I weighed 165 pounds I would be aiming for close to that amount in grams of protein each day.
It wouldn't matter if I ate pizza, cookies, or McDonald's as long as I hit those two points.
I'm curious however if anyone thinks differently and why(from a logical standpoint?

Hi, Fraser. The tips I liked were (1) Train smarter not harder (2) Track progress, and (3) Cook foods in bulk separately. Interestingly, this is where I have my greatest challenge. Time is short during the workweek and food that is fast typically tends to have greater calories. Finding recipes I like and can cook the pieces in bulk is challenging, too.
In terms of training, for a beginner, could doing bodyweight HIIT training produce sufficient results? Or is free-weight training the preferred course of action?

Hey Fraser Wilson! Your content is superb man, been watching a few of your vids and you give great advice. I do realize that I train better when I have a set program to follow and not just guess around day to day. I do want to know is what is your macros on lean bulking? What program you recommend? Thanks man! :)

Dude. Appreciate these tips so much. Summarised everything I've experienced/having issues with and since now I'm just getting back into things (after going too hard (putting on 15lbs really quickly) and then backing off a bit) this is vital. Keep it up man -
