Welcome to another weekend short of The Matter Over Mind Experience
I am your host, Master Trainer & Weight Management Expert, Narado Zeco Powell
This weekend, I will talk about bulking
It is bulking season & I am sure you hear that alot
I will explain what it means & how you can successfully accomplish your bulk
Let’s Begin
What is bulking?
Bulking is the muscle-gaining phase.
You’re meant to intentionally consume more calories than your body needs for a set period, often 4–6 months.
These extra calories provide your body with the necessary fuel to boost muscle size and strength while weight training
This is important because we know the importance of building lean muscle in order to do that you may need to eat a calorie excess
The biggest mistake I used to make and some people still do this time of year is we think we can eat whatever we want as long as we are in a caloric excess
Well, constant snacking & eating foods that cause you to gain more visceral fat is a bad idea
So, still stay away from snack foods, foods rich in trans fat, etc
The biggest thing to pay attention to here is you may need to eat more protein or supplement to promote a positive protein balance & enough carbs to promote muscle strength, performance & recovery
In bulking season I carb cycle and eat more protein to promote muscle growth
