IT'S OVER FOR BULKINGhttps://youtu.be/q1J3WGz_QJU
no shit
thing that people have been doing for decades and has always worked NO LONGER WORKS according to science?!
>>74226432can someone give a tldwis it about doing too big of a caloric surplus? if yes then why do i feel so much stronger in a 500 surplus than a 300 one?

>>74227393point 1 - for beginners, it doesn't matter between minor and major surpluses as both still get amazing gainspoint 2 - calorie deficit is detrimentalpoint 3 - intermediate and advanced lifters see little difference in lean mass gain with bigger surpluses. doc recommends an intermediate gain no more than 1% of body weight per month, and .5% for advanced an interesting caveat from the MD guy was that sometimes the fat gain isn't a bad thing health-wise (not good or bad) when going up from low bf% to a max of 22% bfTakeaway - getting fat fast isn't a dependable way to gain muscle mass
>>74227485based, thanks anon
>>74226432People needed science for this? Use your fucking brains. You can only build so much muscle. It doesnt matter if you are on a 200 surplus, 300, 500, 1000, or 5000 for that matter. The natural limit you can build muscle is still the same.
>>74227485So a moderate, clean, surplus. Nothing we didn't already know. >>74227524Science is basically validating what lifters already figured out 50 or more years ago.
>>74227393Well #1 is mental. You have conditioned yourself to thinking "oh wow i ate now 500 surplus, IM SO MUCH MORE STRONGER THAN AT A 300 ONE". Truth is, you probably arent. And secondly it was about muscle hypertrophy. "So much stronger", what does that even mean? If you can build 3kg lean muscle mass in a year, you can build 3kg lean muscle mass in a year. It doesnt matter if your weight went up 10kg, 20kg or 50kg. You still built that 3kg lean muscle mass in a year. Its irrelevant "how strong you felt".And secondly, when you get fat, you improve your leverages. You get fat faster on a 500 surplus. Thats pretty much the only practical reasoning for it. Its a whole lot easier to bench 140kg when you weigh 100kg vs 70kg. It just is, even if your muscle mass is the same.
>>74226432How to seduce a guy that looks exactly like this?
>>74227393Placebo unless you’re a beginner.>>74227524You’re acting like you haven’t seen the countless posts on this board of people eating thousands over maintenance and turning into fat fuckers.
>>74227627be an ugly asian woman
>>74226432The funniest thing about this thumbnail is that Mike actually looks like this with his fucking HGH gut.
>>74227730You realize it's his video right? Obviously he's pushing his stomach out in the picture he made it from that everyone always posts on here. Anyone with core muscles can make themselves look potbellied by relaxing and pushing their stomach out. I've seen smaller ripped dudes do pregnant belly as a joke
>>74226432This guy looks like the monster from resident evil. holy shit what went wrong?
The jews constant unfunny jokes are unbearable
>>74229037on the flip side anyone can suck their guts in and flex their abs to appear to have a flat midsection

>>74227639>people eating thousands over maintenance and turning into fat fuckers.More like people searching for an excuse to eat industrial amounts of trash food their sinful gluttony commands them to devour like pigs, thus creating the powershitter
>>74227639>Placebo unless you’re a beginnerim assuming sub 2pl8 bench is beginner? then yes
>>74227485thanks for the recap>fat gain isn't a bad thing health-wise (not good or bad) when going up from low bf% to a max of 22% bfSurprised that it's still fine in the 18-22% range. That's pretty chunky
>>74233245>im assuming sub 2pl8 bench is beginner? then yesI think when the scientists say beginner what they mean is someone who still experiences noobie gains ie linear progression without an optimized diet or training routine, though I may be wrong.
