INSIGHT

Surplus Aids But Isn't Required

  • A caloric surplus isn't strictly required to build muscle but makes muscle gains easier and more significant.
  • Training quality is the key driver, with nutrition being permissive to growth.
ADVICE

Match Surplus to Potential

  • Tailor your calorie surplus to your muscle gain potential and training capacity.
  • Beginners with high potential can gain faster; advanced lifters should slow rate to minimize fat gain.
INSIGHT

Protein Intake for Gains

  • Protein intake recommendations vary; 2.2g per kg can optimize muscle growth without compromising fat and carb intake.
  • Protein has a dose-response up to ~3g/kg, but diminishing returns and balance are key.
