Lean gains from an average build

Some muscle from sport or a bit of lifting, moderate body fat, nothing that reads as 'trained' yet. Here is what the lean gains transformation looks like from exactly that start — rendered on a real photo, not a stock body.

Starting from an average build

The average starting point has the widest range of outcomes: a lean bulk, a cut, or a recomp all work. Pick the direction you want to look in a year and commit to one phase at a time.

What lean gains changes

Stay lean while you grow. The disciplined path to year-round definition.

  • Muscle added while abs stay visible
  • Wider shoulders and back at the same waist
  • The 'always in shape' look

What it takes

8–12 months. Lean gaining is a small surplus held for the best part of a year, gaining muscle slowly while staying at 10–14% body fat. It is the least dramatic month to month and the best looking at the end. The preview shows the end.
