I’ve always been told I was “skinny” so for the first time I want to try a real bulk. My goal is 3,500 calories, and 200 grams of protein a day while doing a push/pull routine 4 times a week. I started eating this way at the start of August and am already up to 219 and have noticed gains in muscle, and fat. I plan on staying on this routine until January and have put a max cap on my weight at 230 pound 21% body fat.
Anyone have good tips for bulking?

The goal of a solid bulking regimen is to maximize muscle gain with minimal fat gain. If you know your maintenance calories, increase it by 300-400 calories
at most.. anymore than that from personal experience, you will probably add on unnecessary fat. However, this depends on your body type and how your metabolism efficiency is. The most important part is to track and measure each week to make sure you're not gaining too much fat from bulking.
