    That was me, I had to scale back on how much I workout, that helped my body start putting on more muscle. I have a gym addiction, so doing less workouts was a hard concept to wrap my mind around. Thanks to mind pump saying this so often, I was like...okay let's give it a go. It works if you currently overtrain and don't get enough calories.

    Step 1, have a good workout programme, ie something you are not used to doing.
    Step 2, high protein diet. 0.82g-1g per pound of bodyweight. Also carbohydrates are great for building muscle and recovery. 2g per pound of bodyweight
    Step 3, avoid starchy/saturated fat in the day, it fills you up more and makes it more difficult to bulk.
    Step 4, do not chase fat, chase protein and carbs, with fats do not worry, it will be in steak and eggs eat
    Step 5, Sleep 8 hours of good quality sleep a night. Great diet/workout,. shitty sleep. No muscle.
    Step 6, scale back your training if you are training almost everyday, go from 7 days to 4 days.

    My advice is do not care about how fast u bulk but steady progress going up is best way.
    1.
    U don't add unnecessary fat.
    2. Eating will be more enjoyable when u don't force urself to eat alot
    3. Don't eat everything but pick the healthiest food u can get. Junk food don't add anything but make u feel slower and affect ur body in a negative way. Just like soda or fried foods that make ur stomach heavy and u feel ill afterward.
    Lean bulking is what i call it and it works very good.

    For me it’s not about changing my workout , it’s about logging everything and using progressive overload every 2-3 workouts . I will either do one more rep per set and keep building that way, or after that I will increase the weight. I do compound exercises first then isolation work. I do reverse pyramid on the compounds to challenge the muscle as much as possible. In terms of nutrition I like to time my meals so that I get either 1 large meal or 2 moderate meals before the workout and 3 after to really fuel the recovery . Working out in the evening I feel is a bad idea, as you’ll only get 1 meal in after and then go all night with no added food to fuel the protein synthesis .

    I'm 6 ft 3 and 175 pounds. Very lean, trying to bulk up. At around 3200 calories per day, but not really gaining weight, so need to bump it up again. But I'm really struggling with eating enough, unless I resort to junk food, which I don't wanna do as it also affects my mood and sleep. For me personally, eating extra fats is way easier! than carbs. Many carbs makes me feel more lethargic. Also - at night time, I need to avoid eating 2.5hrs before bed, as it affects my sleep negatively. This especially means carbs, protein and fat are usually easier to digest at night.

    "Great diet, great workout, shitty sleep=no muscle" feel like this is the one concept that everyone keeps hearing but no one really wants to accept because of our busy complicated lives and everyone being amped up from caffeine at night and our cortisol levels being so spiked, the people hear this and I want to do it but when it comes that actually planning out good quality sleep people in our hemisphere over here are too adjusted to being active and partying and still doing things at night to Value quality sleep I think, I think it might be the mindset with some people if they are prioritizing a good eight to nine hours sleep that they feel like they're somewhat missing out on things they could get done or busy work in the evening or at night.

    Regarding training, I've pretty much tried every split there is. I wanted the most results as fast as possible. What I've found works best for me, is doing a 3 day training split with a rest day between. Chest/tris, back/bis, legs/shoulders. Some days might fall back to back, and some days I might add in an extra tricep workout or some extra back sets. Less is more for me, and I never thought I would be training some muscles once a week. I don't get tired from the gym as much, and when I do, a deload week or two typically puts me back on the gain train and remotivates me. I sometimes wish I could be at the gym 6 days a week, but yesterdays workout somehow impedes on todays workout, my body is just a pussy. But I love this, and I don't think I'll be changing anything about it.

    If i did the whole 1 gram of protein per pound bodyweight rule, i'd lose ALOT of muscle. When i first started gaining lean muscle (serious gains) i was starting at 160 lbs with 160 grams of protein per day. Over the last 16 years when i got to a lean 195 lbs i took in about 28 grams of protein per meal which equates to 196 grams of protein a day (not including the protein i get from carbs) 7 meals a day. All in all i take in close to about 200 grams of protein a day and i'm building good lean muscle with no excess body fat. in my shakes, i'll throw in a scoop of powdered milk for added calories and that'll get me to 300 calories a meal quickly. The powdered milk is where i mainly get my surplus from for added calories. My body handles that well

    • @bkohler89

      @@005JFL one scoop of that powdered milk is 80 calories with 12 grams of carbs. If i add that along with my regular shake, i'd be at 300 calories cause the regular shake itself is about 150 cal or so. Judging by your question, you sound like an ectomorph, i'd make sure for you, you take in ALOT of complex (healthy) carbohydrates (oatmeal for instance) one cup of that is 300 calories. Whatever calories you're taking in right now, that's your starting point. I'd increase your carb intake a tad, see how your body responds and then go from there. If the new intake of carbs isn't enough to budge the scale, up it even more, but keep your protein where it's at cause higher protein isn't gonna do it for someone like you

    Dear Mind Pump,
    This may sound like a strange question but I basically started following the makos anabolic program (I’m in phase 2 at the moment) and I’ve seen crazy results- like crazy. I was 100kg when I started and pretty fat. I‘be dropped about 14kgs and am looking MUCH smaller and muscles starting to look more defined. I’ve really appreciated how miraculous this program has been but I look thin now (although I still have a beer belly).
    I guess now my goal would be to get back to 100kg but become more muscular instead of Looking like I’ve lost a lot of weight. Basically, I want to be buff. Is eating more clean calories more often the best way to do this?

    Telling people they have to switch programs just because they start bulking is possibly the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard. A good program progressively overloads meaning you are continually doing shit you weren’t doing before. Bulking is just going to contribute to that process if done correctly.

      -if you haven’t worked out before- find a work out you like “so you’ll stick to it”. Train extremely light and focus on form not killing yourself till you start getting to 15-20 reps easy. Then PLAN OUT and be EXTREMELY CAREFUL and learn to lift heavy-er. 4-8 reps. As you stick to the weight work on getting that exact same weight at 15-20 reps, when it feels a lot easier, repeat. Eat clean, eat a lot.

    switching ur workout isnt going to "change" or give you more new gains. If you do PPL before a bulk and decide to switch to Arnold split. There is not going to be a difference of muscle gain and size just because you switched. You working out your muscles will give you gains no matter what. And just because you like Arnold split more than PPL doesnt mean your going to make more new gains and etc. If you workout, ur going to make gains either way.
