I’m often asked how to get bigger.
I’ll give solid advice, and frankly since it’s usually ignored by the asker (askee?) I don’t expect them to actually make progress.
During the corona lockdown one kid actually implemented the advice I’d given him, ran with it, and when the gym reopened shook my hand with a thank you. I was racking my brain, then remembered that I’d given him advice fully six months prior.
When a kid approaches you on the gym floor for advice, and the advice will always boil down to “train with effort, eat more” ; it’s like 99% of humanity on the spot becomes lactose intolerant!
There’s something weird in the air when all these guys are pickier eaters than girls, and can’t find it in themselves to shovel down nutritious calories.
Gluttony is consider a sin.
Why? Because overeating is enjoyable, it’s not hard to go too far with it!
You’d think in a land with huge obesity statistics some of that eating ability would transfer by osmosis or something to younger gym going dudes from nothing more than close contact in the wild with the people of walmart.
It’s a fairly open secret that getting big is big calories and enough nutrition.
I’ve met a lot of lean athletic teenage athletes who fell hard for the mainstream stock advice and are eating clean, while not putting on any size.
Every teenager I’ve seen get big eats fairly dirty.
Even higher level bodybuilders who eat clean mostly, their cheat meals are something to behold creating equal parts wonder, fear, and excitement over the coming tip amongst the staff at brazilian steakhouses and sushi places everywhere if I’m remembering correctly the norm amongst bodybuilder taste buds.
You eat a lot and you’re going to build muscle.
You eat like a bird and you’re gonna stay lean forever – run with the premise that no lean bulking has ever happened.
Eat up.
You want to grow big?
Become anabolic – try eating.
