Hello guys, could you give me some more info on what's the difference between Lean Muscle Gain and Hard Muscle Gain?

 

 

I think there might be a confusion in the terminology here:

 

There are the following terms:

 

Lean gain / Lean Bulk = meaning : eat only a small surplus of calories per training day, to nurish the body with exactly the small overflow it needs to build and repair muscle tissue that has been destroyed in the training. (Lean gains / bulks are the prefered method, because you can only build so-and-so much muscle per month, and if you over-eat too much, most of it will just end up as fat). This way also the amount of fat you gain along this bulking phase will stay minimal and will be easier and removed with a cut.

 

Dirty Bulk = meaning: you eat massive amounts of caloric surplus per day (some eat up to 7000 calories) to put on extreme amounts of mass, with no attention to how much fat you put on as well, and then you try later on to lean / cut down again. Which is a hard thing to achieve when you have to get rid of 20 kilo plain fat, and unfortunately the fat cells also only become empty but won't go away again. This method is mostly used by people on gear / juice. And is not to suggest at all.

 

These above terms stand for bulking types.

 

The following term stands for a person / physique type:

 

Hardgainer (which would be the more correct term) = meaning: a person who really has a hard time putting on some mass, and might need to eat a bit more of a surplus to achieve the building of mass. Mostly scrawny people. But in most cases with a tad increased caloric intake and avoidance of too much cardio and overtraining those people can begin to build mass that way too.

 

Hope that helped.
