Eli5 How does bulking make it easier to gain muscle?
In: 18
“Bulking” is one of the hundreds of fitness myths that have been floating around forever.
Eat enough protein and perform resistance exercise correctly and you will gain muscle just fine without having to eat like a pig.
Source: myself and my clients, back when I was a personal trainer.
FWIW, I actually tried a “bulking” phase once, just to see what would happen. All it did was make me super-fat.
