Hey guys,
Currently running a recomp and getting noticeably leaner and more vascular while holding strength. I’m planning to transition into a lean bulk for summer, but I want to stay as lean/ripped as possible while slowly gaining size.
Stats:
- 188 cm / 78 kg
- Currently eating ~1800 kcal (recomp/cut)
- Training consistently (hypertrophy + strength)
Current cycle:
- Test E
- Tren A
- Anavar
- Turinabol
I’ve started to notice some side effects (mainly sleep/recovery), so I don’t want to just blindly increase everything.
Goal:
- Lean bulk through summer
- Stay aesthetic/lean (visible abs, vascular)
- Gradually add quality mass without unnecessary fat or water
What I’m looking for:
- When transitioning from recomp → lean bulk, how much of a calorie increase worked best for you while staying lean?
- What compounds and moderate dosing strategies have you found effective for a lean bulk without blowing up or worsening side effects?
- Any tips on managing recovery, sleep, and keeping a dry look while increasing food?
Appreciate real experiences, not just “eat big get big.”
