Or you could eat clean and have a mild caloric surplus and put on muscle and a small amount of fat or even stay very lean. The diet is the most important factor...it's completely up to you. Read the stickies and educate yourself...then you can make that decision for yourself based on your goals.
Agreed. I love Rippetoe's Starting Strength, but the diet will determine your success with the program. Good luck
