Starting Strength and bulking calories

[tiwkcuf]

I am trying to bulk without gaining too much BF. What is a good calorie surplus to ensure a LBM to BF proportion so that my total BF% will stay the same or even decrease due to a higher rate of muscle than fat gain? Thank you!

need to know your stats and work outs to even give you a close estimate as to what it would be.

I am 5'10", 148 pounds, no idea about bf% (if this is any indication, I can see my ribs pretty well but not abs).

I am doing the Starting Strength program.

I'm not asking you to calculate the exact number of calories I need, but rather the safest amount of surplus.

At 5'10 and 148 lbs youre dangerously underweight.

Eat 4,000 calories per day and do SS. Worry about the extra 2-3% bodyfat you have when youre 180 lbs.

you are a good candidate for some dirty bulking bro...
seriously, if your ribs are showing, you need to just have-at-it with all the food you can get your hands on...
trust me on this
