In my mind, I have two methods to this madness.

You either do the bulk/cut cycle which I'm guessing is quicker.
Or you do the incremental cycle where you eat enough to just have a bit of excess, and as you build more muscle, your burn rate will increase until you reach equilibrium or start cutting, then you up your calorie count again.

I'm honestly not terrible fussed about this whole thing. When my 1 rep max was some ridiculous number (for my skinny Chinese frame anyways, 215 squat, 155 bench), I was not much or no bigger than before I started. From my experience it's when you do a ton of reps do you get bigger quicker.
