Want to know if you're actually building muscle or just gaining fat during your bulk? 

Learn about the Muscle Gain Efficiency (MGE) score and how to use engineering's Bottleneck Effect to optimize your muscle-building system.

Discover how factors like training experience, frame size, and strength ratios influence your muscle-building potential, then learn to identify and fix what's limiting your gains.

Main Takeaways:

• You have a unique muscle-building potential
• Your Muscle Gain Efficiency (MGE) indicates how well you're gaining muscle vs. fat (how "efficient" you are)
• The 5 key bottlenecks that limit your muscle-building success
• Having a solid system + consistency = sustainable results
