then bulking tends to look like this.

For the person who's afraid, who's so afraid of eating more calories, they don't go on a bulk.

They eat a little bit more, but then they cut back on other days and it ends up resulting in nothing.

For the person who's just so eager and excited, this was me as a kid, like I just want to get as big and build as much muscle as possible, as fast as possible, a bulk turns into an excessive bulk.

Yeah, into a dirty bulk.

Yeah, where I'm gaining lots of body fat.

I remember the first time

This really hit for me.

I was in my 20s.

I was managing a gym in South San Jose.

We had actually grand opened it.

And I had a fitness manager and an assistant manager that worked for me.

And all of us were super into lifting weights.

We're super into strength training.

And so we had a contest.

And we said, let's see who can gain weight.

the most weight – we should have said muscle, but we said the most weight in 60 days.

I think it was 60 or 90 days.

And so me being competitive, me also not fully understanding what we're going to talk about here, and also coming from an insecure background of feeling like I was too skinny, I went crazy.

And when I say I went crazy, I mean it.
