Will lifting with a lot of volume and isolation exercises and eating at a maintenance with a lot of protein give me gains in muscle mass and size while sticking with the bf% i have now?
Or is there no point in it?

It could yeah, but its really slow, why not just bulk/cut
>>40282293
I hate clean bulking. I want to vomit after eating half a kilo of chiken breast everytime. Now add more shit to to it and i will probably off myself like the bitch that i am. So i just wonder if i could eat a little less but not "cut"
>>40282293
>why not just bulk/cut
Because why just not [what OP suggested]
OP, do it. Bulking and cutting is literally the meme that should die unless you're a juicehead.

But no fucking isolations. Big, free weights MOTHERF*CKER!!!

Enjoy looking like shit

You won't grow with machines. Did someone ever grow?
>>40282354
>You can do isolation with machines only
lol
Machines are absolutely amazing for getting volume and a pump going.
It can be hard to get volume from barbell exercises because they tend to drain your body of energy before you can actually get enough volume in.

The simple answer is OP is a faggot
>>40282310
Why post nonsense?
Why can't a natty cut and bulk?
How do you ever expect to gain any significant size? It's next to impossible putting on size at matienece, and you're natty, you will have to fight for every scrap of muscle even bulking.

Peanuts are an easy source of calories

>somehow because it's not a barbell you can't tear muscle fibers with it

desu

Body recomp (eating at maintenance ) is much less efficient than simple cut or bulk
IE, instead of over a year (and multiple cut bulk cycles, ever get fat!) gaining and losing 30 lbs of fat and gaining 10 lbs of muscle, you are looking to spend that year at the same levels of bodyfat, and gaining 5 lbs of muscle, or less.
Why cheat yourself out of those 5lbs of gains?
Sure, you can make some gains at maintenance, but it won't be as efficient.
>>40282277
If you're at the bf% you want, do a slow ass bulk, like 200 calorie surplus.
You won't gain any bodyfat% and will avoid the gains limbo of your body not knowing if it should gain or lose weight.

listen to this guy OP pls
>>40282489
Don't listen to the tripfag OP
>>40282277
You can gain while on maintenence.

what is her obsession with pizza, she must run a pedo ring right?
>>40282277
Just eat like a 300 kcal surplus. If you're getting enough protein and aren't eating shitty foods you'll pretty much max out your gains while maintaining or even going down on body fat %. Bulking and cutting is for people near their genetic limit and roiders.

stfu pedo, pizzagate isn't a joke
>>40282444
he can put on muscle at maintenance but yeah it would be faster with bulking/cutting
>fight for every scap of muscle even bulking
that's not totally true,you underestimate natties
yeah it's hard to put on muscle with 2+ years of lifting,but not in your first year
