  I	was	having	a	conversation	with	a	gym	buddy	of	mine	the	other	day	and	he	was	asking	about	my	current	nutrition	and	training	and	I	said,	“I’m	currently	throwing	all	my	eggs	in	the	bulking	basket”.	His	response	was,	“Why	are	you	bulking”?	I	responded,	“The	real	question	is	why	would	I	ever	not	be	bulking”?!	Jokes	about	the	permabulk	aside	periods
  of	really	focused	muscle	growth	can	greatly	accelerate	your	gainz	and	is	something	that	has	been	used	widely	to	great	effect	for	a	long	time.	Think	about	some	of	the	most	epic	Hollywood	transformations	ever:	Chris	Hemsworth	in	Thor,	Jason	Momoa	in	Conan,	Ryan	Reynolds	in	Blade	Trinity,	Jake	Gyllenhall	in	Prince	of	Persia.	They	all	had	one	thing	in
  common…	they	all	used	bulking	strategies.	Now	you	can	go	google	these	things	and	find	all	sorts	of	crazy	articles	about	them	but	it	really	comes	down	to	these	5	key	things.	Step	1:	Find	Your	Caloric	Maintenance	Needs	You	want	to	grow?	Then	you	have	to	make	sure	you	are	sending	your	body	the	right	growth	signals.	When	it	comes	properly	setting
  your	bulking	parameters	the	two	main	signals	are	your	diet	and	your	training	(more	on	training	later).	Related:	The	4	Pillars	of	Dietary	Success	for	Any	Fitness	Goal	The	single	most	important	thing	you	need	to	get	squared	away	for	your	bulking	diet	is	your	calories.	If	you	don’t	have	that	dialed	in	you	should	probably	just	not	even	lift;	not	kidding.	If
  you	want	to	add	mass	to	your	body	(we	can	differentiate	between	lean	and	fat	mass	later)	you	need	to	have	a	surplus	of	calories.	Put	simply,	you	need	to	eat	more	food	than	your	body	is	burning.	Let’s	start	with	the	basics.	The	first	thing	you	need	to	do	is	figure	out	your	maintenance	calories.	This	is	essentially	your	balance	point,	where	you	consume
  and	expend	roughly	the	same	amount	of	calories	and	your	weight	stays	stable.	There	are	several	ways	to	figure	out	how	many	calories	you	need	but	the	following	steps	are	the	best	way	to	find	your	maintenance	requirements:	You	use	a	calorie	calculator	that	is	based	on	years	of	scientific	data	to	help	approximate	your	daily	calorie	needs.	Consume
  those	calories	exactly	while	maintaining	your	normal	daily	habits	for	1	week	and	check	your	weight.	If	weight	is	stable	continue	for	one	more	week	to	confirm	that	it	is	stable.	If	weight	has	decreased,	increase	calories	by	250	and	repeat.	If	weight	has	increased,	decrease	calories	250	and	repeat.	Do	this	until	you	have	about	2	weeks	of	being	weight
  stable	and	consider	this	your	maintenance.	This	means	that	you	need	at	least	a	few	weeks	to	prep	for	your	bulk	so	you	can	be	a	maintenance	calorie	master.	Step	2:	Map	Out	Your	Surplus	You	are	now	the	master	of	your	maintenance	calories	and	are	ready	to	move	to	step	2	of	constructing	your	bulking	diet.	This	piece	is	a	critical	step	as	if	you
  undershoot	your	surplus	you	will	be	leaving	gainz	on	the	table,	but	if	you	overshoot	you	will	add	unnecessary	fat	mass.	You	need	to	find	that	sweet	spot.	So….	What	exactly	is	this	sweet	spot?	Well	it	appears	that	it	lies	somewhere	between	5%	and	20%	with	20%	giving	you	unnecessary	fat	gain	and	5%	being	about	the	minimal	amount	required	to	see
  meaningful	muscle	growth.	Coming	in	with	around	a	5-10%	calorie	surplus	will	help	optimize	your	lean	mass	to	fat	mass	gains	with	10%	being	more	likely	to	ensure	you	have	enough	food	to	grow	adequately.	Interestingly,	it	appears	that	~20%	surpluses	don’t	really	result	in	more	lean	mass	than	the	5-10%	range	so	more	isn’t	going	to	always	translate
  to	better1.	Step	3:	Figure	Out	Your	Macronutrient	Needs	We	have	our	maintenance	calories	mastered,	we	have	picked	our	calorie	surplus	of	~5-10%,	with	leaning	closer	to	10,	and	now	it	is	time	to	figure	out	how	we	will	break	those	calories	into	our	macros.	We	can	break	this	down	into	3	simple	steps.	Determine	Your	Protein	Requirements	There	is
  an	obscene	amount	of	scientific	literature	out	there	regarding	protein	intake	and	gains.	While	you	could	easily	spend	a	lifetime	reading	all	the	studies	they	all	boil	down	to	suggest	that	consuming	~1	gram	per	pound	per	day	is	a	good	starting	place	for	maximizing	muscle	growth.	This	can	go	up	to	1.5	grams	per	pound	per	day	in	some	people	but	start
  with	around	1	grams	per	pound	to	begin.	Find	Your	Carbohydrate	Needs	Carbohydrate	needs	have	also	been	fairly	well	document	and	here	are	some	good	heuristics.	If	you	are	following	a	general	fitness	program	aim	for	~	2	grams	per	pound	day,	this	should	equate	to	roughly	45-55%	of	your	total	calorie	needs.	Related:	How	to	Calculate	the	Perfect
  Macros	for	Your	Fitness	Goals	If	you	are	training	pretty	hard,	like	2-3	hours	a	day,	bump	that	to	like	3	grams	per	pound	per	day,	or	about	55-65%	of	your	total	calories2.	Top	Off	the	Tank	with	Fats	Fats	are	important	but	they	are	more	just	energy	than	they	really	are	for	specific	things	(in	the	context	of	a	bulk)	like	protein	and	carbohydrates.	It	is	also
  fairly	easy	to	get	the	amount	you	need.	So,	for	figuring	out	the	fats	just	take	your	total	calories,	subtract	your	protein	and	carbohydrate	calories,	and	then	you	end	up	with	your	total	fat	calories	you	need.	Boom.	Game,	set,	match.	Macros	done.	Step	4:	Get	Your	Supplements	Squared	Away	All	diets	should	be	based	on	foods	as	the	foundation.	That
  being	said,	during	a	bulk	there	are	a	few	supplements	that	can	help	maximize	your	gainz.	They	aren’t	the	sexy	ones,	but	they	are	the	ones	that	work.	Whey:	At	some	point	during	your	bulk	you	will	be	so	sick	of	chewing	steak,	chicken,	and	fish	that	you	will	need	some	sort	of	protein	powder.	Or	you	will	need	liquid	calories	and	will	also	need	a	protein
  powder	so	whey	protein	is	almost	an	essential	in	the	modern	age.	Creatine:	One	of	the	biggest	dictators	of	muscle	growth	is	your	training	volume,	with	greater	training	volume	resulting	in	greater	muscle	mass	gainz.	Creatine	is	very	well	documented	to	increase	training	capacity	and	can	help	you	increase	volume.	If	you	are	trying	to	accumulate
  volume	and	muscle	tissue	and	you	aren’t	taking	creatine,	you	are	probably	leaving	gainz	on	the	table.	Caffeine:	Caffeine	is	also	one	of	those	supplements	that	works.	It	helps	you	train	a	little	bit	hard,	for	a	little	bit	longer	so	slamming	a	cup	of	joe	before	training	is	also	something	to	seriously	consider.	Step	5:	Set	Your	Sleep	Schedule	If	you	aren’t
  sleeping	you	are	wasting	your	time.	Not	kidding.	People	think	you	train	so	you	can	grow,	this	is	wrong.	You	train	so	you	can	give	your	body	the	signals	it	needs	to	grow.	You	grow	when	your	body	is	recovering	from	your	training.	The	most	important	recovery	time	is	when	you	are	sleeping	as	there	are	a	whole	bunch	of	recovery	and	hormonal	things
  that	occur	while	you	are	sleeping	that	really	drive	muscle	growth.	If	you	are	serious	about	your	bulk	then	you	need	to	dial	in	your	sleep	with	at	least	8	hours	a	night,	probably	more	like	10.	Atstock	Productions	/	Shutterstock	Financial	planning	means	putting	your	incomes	and	expenses	on	a	scale	to	achieve	monetary	equilibrium	or	upward	mobility	on
  your	income	levels.	Your	plan	should	capture	how	your	current	and	future	risks	are	covered	to	protect	you	from	economic	uncertainties	and	losses.	Planning	helps	you	to	sustain	yourself	and	your	family,	and	so	it	should	be	taken	as	a	priority	and	not	a	choice.	Another	aspect	of	your	plan	that	you	should	prioritize	is	your	goals	either	in	short,	medium
  and	long	term	and	their	budgetary	requirements.1.	Understand	Your	Money	MindsetThe	first	tip	to	having	a	productive	financial	plan	is	to	understand	your	money	mindset.	If	what	matters	most	to	you	is	the	present	then	you	fall	in	the	survivor’s	list.	Survivors	also	include	people	who	tend	to	have	the	urge	to	satisfy	their	current	desires	such	as	a
  pricey	pair	of	shoes	or	a	sumptuous	snack	with	little	or	no	thought	of	the	financial	implications	of	their	decisions	on	tomorrow.	Achievers	are	action	oriented	and	are	classified	as	precious.	They	have	investments,	shares	and	bank	deposits.	Even	if	they	lose	their	jobs,	they	still	have	something	they	can	bounce	back	on.	However,	these	actions	do	not
  portray	financial	stability	because	such	people	lack	intention.	The	wealthy	people	are	the	strategists.	They	are	long	term	viewers.	All	their	actions	fulfill	a	purpose,	and	they	seek	development	in	all	aspects	of	their	life.	They	don’t	just	pump	in	money	in	endless	investments	but	instead	have	fewer	investments	that	are	sustainable	and	profitable	but	take
  time	to	actualize.	Once	you	understand	which	money	mindset	best	describes	you,	you	will	be	able	to	draft	a	financial	plan	that	works	for	you	and	your	needs.2.	Formulate	a	Financial	PlanNo	engineer	is	complete	without	his	measuring	tape	just	as	no	electrician	is	complete	without	his	tester.	When	you	draft	your	plan	on	paper,	you	bring	your	ideas	and
  thoughts	to	life.	A	blueprint	of	your	plan	enables	you	to	have	a	reference	for	your	progress.	Start	by	stating	your	short,	middle	and	long-term	goals	and	then	align	them	with	their	expenditure	and	projected	profits.	You	also	need	to	put	into	consideration	your	assets	and	liabilities	and	how	you	can	maximize	and	minimize	them	respectively	to	achieve
  your	goals.	Implement	your	plan	and	then	conduct	a	monitoring	and	evaluation	exercise	as	per	the	set	timelines	and	make	adjustments	where	necessary.3.	SaveThe	golden	rule	here	is	to	avoid	spending	before	you	have	dealt	with	small/personal	debts	and	bills.	Saving	does	not	require	you	to	be	earning	a	lump	sum	salary.	Starting	small	especially
  when	you	are	young	with	minimal	responsibilities	helps	you	have	enough	for	investments	in	the	future.	Analyze	your	spending	and	cut	on	expenses	that	are	not	necessary.	It	is	also	advisable	to	plan	for	your	retirement,	even	though	you	might	not	think	about	it	when	you’re	young.	The	earlier	you	start	saving,	the	more	financially	stable	you	will	be	once
  you’ve	stopped	working.4.	Invest	in	YourselfThe	most	valuable	investment	you	can	make	is	in	yourself.	It	does	not	necessarily	mean	to	completely	lose	you	in	a	classroom	trying	to	amass	a	good	number	of	degrees.	It	captures	your	entire	being.	Learn	to	exercise	more,	travel	to	different	places	in	the	world	or	your	country	or	attend	inspiring	and
  informative	talks.	When	your	life	gets	sucked	into	these	various	facets,	you	get	exposed	to	a	lot	of	things	that	will	eventually	guide	you	in	making	your	financial	plan.	It	is	also	crucial	to	build	your	career	and	increase	your	earning	potential.5.	Seek	Financial	AdviceOnce	you	have	managed	to	grow	your	savings,	it	is	advisable	to	seek	advice	from	a
  financial	planner	to	assist	you	to	make	sensible	investment	choices.	A	wise	financial	adviser	will	help	you	identify	the	risks	involved	in	potential	investments,	and	provide	viable	options	for	maximum	returns	while	helping	you	achieve	your	financial	goals	in	the	shortest	time	possible.	A	financial	adviser	can	also	come	in	handy	by	helping	you	prepare	a
  budget.	You	don’t	have	to	seek	financial	advice	from	a	financial	planner	only.	You	can	also	talk	to	a	relative	or	a	mentor	who	is	good	with	money.	MORE	FROM	BLOGLINES
