I bulked for 23 years but never went gym. Oops. Over the last year, though, I've lost around 30 pounds and gained a good amount of muscle for my size!

[@natedenomme7774]

Yo congrats!! And I love the first part of your comment made me 😂

[@SquizbarDeAlienOfficial]

This channel has helped me so much this year. Thank you so much 💪

0:00💪 Bulking involves increasing body weight through calorie intake and resistance training, primarily aiming to gain muscle mass. 1:16🛑 Taking a break from bulking can be beneficial, as deliberate weight gain can be physically and mentally taxing. 2:30🏋 Adjusting training intensity and volume is crucial for maximizing muscle gains during bulking, focusing on both strength and effort. 6:12🍔 Consider a "smart dirty bulk" by temporarily increasing calorie intake with higher protein consumption to support muscle growth without excessive fat gain.

[@noctul5031]

I haven’t taken a break from the bulk in 17 years 😈

[@jonathanglael6277]

[@GamerKiwi]

At 400 pounds my cut is going to be INTENSE

[@Aamon_bbx]

Bro I'm so freakin confused like as a skinny guy, this bulking thing goes out of my head cuz I don't understand bulking....what do people actually do

[@yoshideku117]

​@@Aamon_bbx Eating more calories than the ones that go out. Emphasys on 1.2 to 2 grams of protein intake for every kilogram you weight and obviously a propper workout for the gains 😅

[@ivangongora6344]

I’ve been on a bulk before I was even born

[@justmechanicthings]

Love your content Pictrefat, one tip that really stuck out to me was finding failure points at different rep ranges, i'm always obsessed with a 6-12 rep failure point.

[@pixelfairy]

[@RabidKanid]

Something I'd like to submit here for consideration is that while your muscles may be able to handle a load to failure and you're doing 8 reps at 85%+ you're maximum load, your tendon strength is something to consider. Just because you can handle 50lb dumbbells doesn't mean your tendons can. Work your way up from a lighter weight at a high rep count over weeks or even months till you can do those higher weights. Not doing so can lead to tendon inflammation which will require at least a week or rest then proper stretching and reducing the weight you were lifting in order to re-train up that damaged tendon. Be careful out there and work your way up to a high weight. Don't just jump straight into 85% of your maximum if every part of your body isn't ready for it yet.

[@lehp7469]

You saying this just explained all of my problems. Appreciate it i seriously thought something was wrong with me lol

[@ed-te1fp]

This only applies to newbies (or those on their first gear cycle) who gain a lot of muscle strength very quickly without giving time for the tendons to strengthen. Tendon strength increases more slowly, but it eventually catches up; if you've been training for more than six months, it shouldn't be an issue.

[@geraldfriend256]

Solid.

[@RostamTorki]

Physiotherapist here - I agree with your overall statement. Thank you for sharing. Just a couple of notes: 1) Tendinopathy actually rarely involves inflammation, especially in the early stages. Which means traditional methods like icing, NSAIDs, etc. won't be effective. Rather, like you said a deload & reload phase is needed (higher reps @ lower weights stresses tendons less). 2) Stretching has been shown to have no benefits over placebo when it comes to nearly all tendinopathies that have been researched. The only real treatments for tendinopathies are deload/reload, medications/injections, and shockwave therapy (research is 50/50 on the latter two). Once again, thanks for sharing!

[@percy.garou1001]

Absolutely, but training and stretching your tendons will help, doing isometric holds helps a lot, Traning to failure should be done after warm up and dynamic stretching, And how you feel, training to failure atleast 1×week for every muscle group

[@ditz3nfitness]

I’ve been training to failure for weeks now, 3x/week and hit my 52th workout recently, so now I’ve taken a whole week off in a surplus to recover and reset my body COMPLETELY so I’m ready for another long period of hard training! My pecs and arms were aching and spasmed every now and then. Surely a sign of a needed break.

[@Ivan_Mohnke]

Overeating protein is just gonna partition the carbs and fats eaten for storage tho, it’s more of the thermic effect that “mitigates” fat gain

[@John69420]

There is no "thermic effect". That effect is already factored into the kcal stemming from protein

[@rayf7953]

​@John69420 even so, most people will find it more satisfying/difficult to eat an extra 50 -100grams of protein instead of carbs. It's this way protein can help keep a bulk "cleaner"

[@asimpson164]

One of the things that has helped me is being more deliberate about what I am doing. Don't just wing it and hope you're doing it right.

[@VorjuMeidear]

I tried several kinds of training but if I get up from the training before I can barely move or hold the machine anymore, I simply don't feel as good. So I usually do one set of up to 20 reps, increasing the weight during the next time I hit the gym, in case I finished 20+. So far I feel pretty confident with this method and since I write down all my workouts, I can say for sure that got make good progress by training about 4 days a week, every second day so I do get a day of rest between each workout. You sure could argue, that there are better or more efficient ways to train, but first of all I got to life with doing it and currently my diet, my workout and the progress are working great for me and don't affect my overall life too much. The most important thing is to go on. Stay strong!

[@DavidBruceCJD]

Very nice perspective I really need to try it out. Taking a break (without loosing weight) could be very beneficial, especially when you lost some weight because you havn't payed enough attention and thought to it.

[@YouTrolol]

can you do a video on the difference between muscular failure and cardiovascular failure and how to improve cardiovascular for weightlifting? sometimes when doing an exercise that involves core bracing (maltese press for calisthenics), i get out of breath before i hit muscular failure.

[@Acheron666]

If you want better cardio, you need to do more cardio. Interval training is a good way to build cardio.

[@transformation-station]

When it comes to a smart dirty bulk, the focus is on consuming enough calories and nutrients to support muscle growth while still allowing for some flexibility in food choices. Great options include lean proteins like chicken breast, turkey, lean beef, fish, tofu, and Greek yogurt. Also healthy fats like Avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and nut butter. Happy bulking! 🍗🥑🍠

Train until failure: *LIFT UNTIL YOU CANT LIFT IT ANYMORE* …then you do they same for drop sets all the way down to like 10 and that’s just 1 set and that’s all you do. Next work out. So like leg extensions and then right into leg curls. That’s how I do it atleast, take a break after each workout for like 1-2 minutes and catch my breathe

[@ronartherjr3935]

Just finished my bulk a couple months ago after over 2 decades. The cut isn’t super impressive, but it is happening, and I’ve actually recomped a bit (gained 2 pounds of muscle while losing 7 of fat)

[@vladislavshevchenko634]

How does one know when to stop bulking or when to stop cutting? Is there a specific set of indicators? Or is it time based?

[@TheCactuar124]

When your body fat percentage gets too high or too low. Reference image compilations of all body fat ranges. Stop cutting at 10-12% and stop bulking ideally at 20% but definitely at 25%.

[@stenharl1]

Don't forget to weigh yourself at least 3-5 times a week (best everyday) at the same time of day. Then take the mean and compare with last week. Then you know for sure if you are gaining weight. If you don't get stronger, but increase body weight, you most likely need to train harder.

If you want to improve cardio and you're recovering from your workouts fine, yes.

[@mccormickja]

@@GamerKiwiYeah, I find cardio* really helps with resistance training. It aids recovery and also helps prevent fatigue later in your workout sessions. *in my case: HIIT cycling or rowing machine depending on if I’m going to do an upper or lower body workout next.

HIIT cardio increases hunger. But on the other side it will also burn precious calories. If you struggle to hit your calories, consume them in liquid form.

[@k4m1l405]

@@UniversalSoldier3k so basically in order to increase my appetite and still gain weight I just need to eat more calories(and macros)? Also, will 10-20 minutes of cardio after training be enough?

Young lifters don't need to worry about bulking. You'll put on unexpected bulk in your late thirties if you don't do cardio.

Treat it like the weights. Want to get stronger, lift even heavier (increase intensity). Want to gain weight, eat even more (increase intensity). Now go! Eat! Expand that stomach! Eat! Don't worry about the time! Eat! Wear more elastic pants! Eat! Eat! And then once you think you've eaten enough... Eat some more!

Man, these are the worst tips for bulking except for the 2nd one. For real, first tip for bulking, take a break, and last tip, eat more from the macronutrient that'll make bulking even harder and will contribute less to actual energy and performance. Seriously? You can do way better content that this

[@HW.0029]

Roids is the way

[@pedrogrillo]

The "smart bulking" is actually one of the worst bulking tips i have ever seen. Protein is the single worst macronutrient to overeat in every way, be it satiety, time to prepare and price, while also giving absolutely zero advantages above 1,6 g/kg. Carbs and fats are cheaper, would allow you to eat more, give you more energy for training and give the building blocks for your steroid hormones. I usually find the information in this channel very good, but this one is just way off and the reasoning for it made no sense whatsoever.
