Today, Philip (@witsandweights) hosts a live training with the Wits and Weights community. He shares how he built 10 more pounds of muscle at 43 and your complete nutrition and training blueprint for doing the same thing.

He discusses why you would want to gain weight on purpose, the fear of weight gain while building muscle, and the exact protocol behind it. Philip also talks about four bulking scenarios, how to distribute your macros, training principles, a new mantra to frame your mental state, and many more.

Philip also shares a downloadable bonus guide, his Muscle-Building Nutrition Blueprint, that details the EXACT steps to set up your nutrition, training, recovery, and tracking to build as much muscle as possible (while minimizing fat gain) for an effective bulking phase.
