'Fall is here, which means loads and loads of people are going to get super fat because they have been misinformed about bulking.  I see it all the time and as much as the bro-science behind bulking bothers me, what pains me even more is seeing so many of you ruin your gains because you have been mislead.  Watch this video 2 - 3 times if you have to and really absorb the information.  I want each and every one of you to be the best possible version of yourselves and I know with a little help we can get you there!  KEEP THE GAINS TRAIN MOVING NATION!!  Bulking WRONG (1:25)- 1. More Bodyfat = Less Testosterone = Less Gains (2:10)- 2. More Fat = Lower Insulin Sensitivity = MORE FAT (3:17)- 3. Less Fat = Better Distribution Of Nutrients = Easier Time Growing MUSCLE! (4:24)- 4. Once NEW fat cells are created, they NEVER GO AWAY!  Bulking RIGHT (5:15)- 1. Your growing muscle cycle should be just as controlled as your cutting cycle. (5:47)- Video Link: Are You Bulking Or Just Fat? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Leeq...  (5:54)- 2. To gain muscle you should be in a calorie surplus of 250 - 500 over your daily maintenance calories. (6:29)- 3. You must still pay very close attention to your ratio of protein, carbs and fat.

Eat quality foods!  *READ FULL ARTICLE WITH PHOTOS* https://muscularstrength.com/article/Learn-How-To-Bulk-CORRECTLY  When it comes to bulking, there seems to be a general misconception that, for a certain period of time, you should be eating uncontrollably in order to gain muscle. People tend to relax during this period and lose track of their meal plans all in the name of “gains.”  In order to grow muscle, you should, in fact, be in a caloric surplus but this process should be executed in a very methodical and controlled manner. When you are in a caloric surplus, or eating more calories than your body needs for its normal functions, you need to be strategic to ensure that the majority of the weight gain consists of muscle. You will inevitable gain some fat when bulking and, if you are not monitoring your bulk very closely, you will gain more fat than you should. When this happens, after each bulking cycle, you will have a harder time gaining muscle and a harder time losing the fat you gained. It’s a vicious cycle and you might be feeling awesome when you jump on the scale but you are actually sabotaging yourself!  If you are dirty bulking and gaining more fat than you should, here is what you are REALLY doing to your body:    1. More stored body fat = less testosterone = less gains! Stored body fat contains an enzyme called AROMATASE. This enzyme shifts the equilibrium of testosterone production converting more Testosterone into estrogen (the female hormone). This additional production of the female hormone makes it harder for you to gain muscle and causes you to store even more fat starting a snow ball effect. You have probably noticed that women naturally store more body fat and this is in big part because of estrogen. Since testosterone is key in maximizing muscle growth, you should stay away from anything that will interfere with its levels or worse yet, convert it into estrogen.  2. More stored fat = lower insulin sensitivity = more fat! Insulin plays a key role in how much fat you store because when you eat carbs, the glucose causes your body to release insulin. These insulin spikes have a negative effect and cause fat burning in your body to stop. To minimize this issue, you want to promote high insulin sensitivity so your body releases less insulin when you eat carbs.    When you bulk and gain body fat, more specifically abdominal fat, you decrease your levels of adiponectin, a protein that promotes the elimination of excess fat in your tissues and improves insulin sensitivity. This become a vicious cycle where the more fat you  accumulate, the more insulin you release which, in turn, causes fat burning to stop.    3. Less stored body fat = better distribution of nutrients = easier time growing muscle!  As you get leaner, you grow more muscle because your body gets better at nutrition partitioning.   *CONTINUE READING HERE* https://muscularstrength.com/article/Learn-How-To-Bulk-CORRECTLY  Program Selector -  Get The Right Program For You! - https://muscularstrength.com/Program-Selector ---------------------------------------- Subscribe To My Channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottHermanFitness ---------------------------------------- 1 on 1 Online Coaching - http://muscularstrength.com/consultations  ---------------------------------------- DOWNLOAD MY APP! – iPhone & Android! https://muscularstrength.com/phoneapp ---------------------------------------- MORE TIPS! - https://www.instagram.com/ScottHermanFitness'
