What to Consider Before Bulking (Ep 42)

Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode, I talk about what to expect when you enter into a bulk phase in your fitness.Bulk phases are periods of time when you focus on building muscle by eating a calorie surplus (i.e., more than their maintenance level of calories). In combination with an exercise plan focused on hypertrophy, bulk periods can maximize muscle growth within a relatively short period of time (as opposed to eating a maintenance or deficit amount of calories every day).Many people, however, are reluctant to try doing a bulk phase out of fear that it will undo the progress that they’ve made in their fat loss journey. In this episode, I give some tips for bulking in a way that minimizes fat storage, allowing you to put as much of the extra energy you’re eating toward muscle gains as possible.This discussion in this episode was recorded while I was live on my Twitch channel for my weekly fitness stream.
