my goal is to put on as much lean mass as possible
This is what I was looking for. Kinda makes a bit more sense, you’ll gain muscle mass at a slower rate with lots of volume at a lower %, and recovery between sessions should be better. Higher % and lower volume is better for gaining raw strength but it’s a bit intense as you get older.
Bear in mind that I'm an old man - my goal is to put on as much lean mass as possible so that by the time I'm 75 I've still got some of it left. Enough to go skiing all day for a couple of weeks and enjoy riding my bike still.
Also, I am vain enough to enjoy looking vaguely athletic.
Therefore the overall goal is to get to ~85kg of mainly lean mass - with whatever body fat % I got down to last time I forwent my morning toast.
