Lifting/Diet question

If your just maintaining weight right now with your diet at 190lbs you are not in a caloric surplus. How long did the jump from 180 to 190 take? If it’s just recent weight gain its probably mostly water weight. Not really enough info here to go off of though.

I like to keep body measurements/caliper test for this kind of thing as the scale can lie sometimes. I’d assume some of that weight is probably water weight then in that time frame. Unless you really are in a crazy surplus lol but if you find in a few weeks your still maintaining weight with your diet then adjustments should be made. I usually aim for a half pound-one pound gain a week bulking to keep the fat gain minimal. Tracking such small increments on a scale can be tough especially when you do account for things like water weight. That’s why I also do measurements. They do not lie lol
