• Bulking doesn’t just mean eating anything and everything you want
• It’s easy to ignore overall health when bulking:if you are bloated and having digestive issues, you won’t perform well
• if you don’t train properly, you’ll just pack on fat without gaining strength
• Meal prepping and eating whole foods are just as important in bulking as they are in losing weight
• Bulking goal: gain lean body mass, minimize fat, and gaining strength – you want to be stronger at the end of a bulk session than when you started
• The scale doesn’t tell you everything you need to know – it’s important to measure lean muscle gain
