Lesson Overview

2.56 – Training in a Calorie Surplus vs Maintenance: Training in a calorie surplus allows the body to build muscle more easily. Extra energy supports recovery, volume tolerance, and strength progression. Maintenance calories can still support gains, but progress is slower. Maintenance phases are useful for refining technique and stabilizing habits. Switching between surplus and maintenance helps manage fat gain. Constant bulking can lead to unnecessary weight gain and fatigue. Constant maintenance can stall progress if training demands are high. This lesson teaches when to push calories and when to hold steady. Matching calories to training phases improves efficiency. Planned nutrition phases create better results over time. Muscle growth improves when food matches workload.
