Episode 150: Building Muscle At Maintenance?

from The Natural Physique Podcast · host Chris Rendall

In today’s episode, I dive into the hot topic of “building muscle at maintenance” and why bulking phases are getting dragged online right now. I unpack where this idea comes from, where it does have merit, and where it falls apart in practice. Using both current research and years of coaching lifters in the real world, I explain why calorie surpluses aren’t the enemy and why avoiding them altogether is often what keeps people stuck.👉 Free Physique Assessment Call: Click Here👉 Free WhatsApp Group: Join Here👉 Online Coaching: Apply Here👉 Instagram: @crendallcoaching
