Been eating around 500–600 over maintenance not super clean but not junk either I’m up 7 lbs in 6 weeks Should I keep it going or tighten up the diet before I gain too much fat

7 lbs in 6 weeks sounds solid man If you’re not getting too soft I’d keep it going a bit longer

Nothing wrong with a little dirty bulk as long as you’re not blowing up your waistline Keep an eye on body fat

If you still look good and feel strong keep eating You can always tighten things up later when you cut

I’d keep it going A little fat gain is normal during a bulk You can clean it up later when you cut

500–600 over maintenance is a good spot Don’t stress being super clean Focus on protein and consistency

Just track your waist and mirror progress If both start moving too fast then tighten things up a bit
