I've been reading a lot of different articles lately about increasing LBM. Everything i have read, says nothing about a calorie surplus. The only thing it talks about is weight lifting and using compound movements...(Also, eating 1g of protein per LBM) So, if you can increase LBM slowly by just weight training, what is the point of bulking? Or, do you have to be in a surplus to gain LBM?
The way it sounds, you can build LBM without gaining much fat, but the process is obviously slower. The more fat you add to your body, the more muscle you add, because of the extra fat your body has to carry around, which in turn makes you gain LBM...
With all this said, is a surplus necessary, or were these articles just not mentioning that you need to eat more and be in a surplus?
