They're excellent books according to many who have got them. 3. It really is YOU who keeps the channel going, I wouldn't be able to do this otherwise.

ive been bulking since the 90s

I made the best gains of my life when I did my 3rd bulk from 115 to 169 lbs. Way better than my maingaining phase. Truly was a waste of 1 year. Like Alex Leónides said, “don’t waste your bulk”! when I bulked the 2nd time , I made horrible gains. But, my training , programming, sleep, stress, was all out of order. People think that bulking is just about eating more. That’s far from the truth.

If you are going to bulk as a natural lifter, you gotta push it in the gym and get the volume in too.💯
-
Lyle once said something that stuck with me, paraphrasing here, something along the lines of 'with a small enough sample size, what you're doing is comparing the individual genetics of the people in the study, more so than teasing out the effect of the intervention on the measured outcome'.
-
I wonder how science thinks a lean, skinny guy is going to put on 20 lbs of muscle without bulking
-
I think a lot of people are commenting before watching a decent amount of this video. This study actually shows that bulking DOES work, but that excessive DIRTY bulking is not really necessary. Basically what most top natural bodybuilders have been saying for years.

double the chin, double the gains

2 GVS videos in one week! We’re blessed

Loved the shoutout to Eric! He seems like such a great guy and people can learn so much from him. He's so deserving of a pro card, his conditioning is insane!

I bulked from 80kg to around 100kg across nearly two years. It certainly wasn't all muscle and I gained more fat than I wanted, but I made a lot of strength and size progress along the way. It was the first time in my life I actually felt muscular. Had I hung around in the 80s, I would not have made nearly as much progress. You probably don't need to bulk as hard as I did, but the point is that bulking healthily over a long period of time will serve you brilliantly for size and strength.

Just got the BIG GAINZ Package looking forward to reading it tomorrow. Thanks for all the insight and advice so far! Love the channel
-
Damn bro. The workout shots are insane as usual. Love seeing your progress!
-
I've stopped listening to science and just started doing the things that work for me and always have. If a friend or someone I respect recommends something different I'll try it for a few weeks and incorporate it or let it go. It's time to stop asking what we should do and start learning what we should do.

For a scientific study measuring bulking… I don’t want to hear a hardly a peep about “surplus”. The correct measure of bulking is weight gain. That’s like claiming you know how far a car drove based on how much gas you put in the tank.
