People trying to cut weight and bulk up, then giving up because they los weight and don't gain muscle, or they gain weight.
Also very simple, you can gain moderate amounts of muscle while being on defecit when you're untrained then the gains stall. Your body just burns any amounts of protein you intake while on defecit afterwards. Protein is like sugar, 4kcal per gram. No amounts of kcals coming from protein shakes are going to help. That method is forced malnutrition. The real way to gain muscles is to not be on a defecit and eat just a little bit more carbs+protein daily. Just because you eat shitloads of calories and drink protein shakes you're body isn't going to build muscles faster. You'll just get fat. Genetics, regular exercise and sleep are more important.
The "bulking" method works for bodybuilders and "nat" influencers on roids. They're also the only ones who need 2g protein per 1kg weight.
I am 185cm, 91kg, 14% body fat. I don't intake any type of supplements.
