Why Trying to Stay Lean is Killing your Muscle Growth

Описание: If you think staying lean is the main marker of a good physique, this video is for you.

A lot of natural lifters train hard, eat “clean,” and stay lean year-round - yet never actually look bigger. Their lifts stall, their bodyweight never moves, and they end up spinning their wheels for years.

In this video, I break down why trying to stay lean is one of the biggest reasons you’re not building muscle - especially if you’re already lean and light.

Yes, you can build muscle in a deficit if you’re overweight or new to lifting.
But if you’re already lean and want to look bigger, thicker, and more muscular, maintaining your weight guarantees you don’t get there.

We talk about:

Why staying lean feels productive but often stalls progress

The difference between recomposition and real size gains

Why the physique that looks best in clothes isn’t the leanest one

Why gaining muscle naturally requires letting the scale go up

How fear of fat gain keeps most lifters small

This isn’t about getting fat.
It’s about committing to growth instead of comfort.
