About my traning, I aint doing any heavy traning right now. Im doing upper body, lower body, upper body, lower body, upper body, lower body, rest. And throughout the week I focus more workload on a specific big muscle group depending on the day.
Still instense, but traning with focus to not injuring myself lol. Im always prone to injuries so I like to be careful.
Normally when bulking I eat clean, but eat carbs all day. And a lot of them.
In 2015 my bulking calories where 5000kcal, got quite fat lmao.
So In 2016 my bulking calories where 4000kcal, didnt get as fat but still gianed around 12 kilos and ive already cut off 8 of those, and still 4 weeks to go lol.
In 2017 after my comp, I plan to try to add muscle but at the same time remain pretty lean so my cals are going to be around 3000kcal, but allowing myself to have a bit more freedom on the meals I eat (example, instead of calculating 100% exact the calories of minced beef and such, Ill just estimate how much meat I will use for a cottage pie for instance, a lot tastier ha)
But normally when bulking I feel FULL all day, never have an appetite, I just saturate myself and up and till recently I didnt really know that wasnt necesarry, so this yeay big changes in my eating habits for growing.
IMO, you're making a conceptual error here in thinking that bulking / gaining muscle occurs with a specific formulaic, static caloric excess.
Just as the body's in a state of dynamic homeostasis, the food requirement to produce muscle gain will change depending on what state your body is in. When lean, post contenst, 3500kcal / day might produce weight gain, whereas 5 month later, when heavier, you might need to take in 5500kcal to produce the same rate of weight gain.
So, your off-season diet would thus be adjusted dynamically in response to how your body is changing.
