Bulking Without the Bloat: My Go-To Tips

I used to think bulking meant eating everything in sight. Turns out, it’s way more about smart choices than stuffing your face. 🔸 Up your calories by 300-500 a day, but track what you eat. Apps like MyFitnessPal make it easy to see if you’re actually hitting your targets. 🔸 Aim for a macro split: 40% protein, 30% healthy fats, 30% carbs. Think chicken, salmon, avocados, oats, and the occasional treat—don’t just live on junk. 🔸 Strength train 3-4 times a week, focusing on big moves like squats and deadlifts. You’ll see better gains than just doing curls all day. 🔸 Rest matters. Take 1-2 days off and get 7-8 hours of sleep. That’s when your muscles actually grow. If you’re gaining more than 2 lbs a week, dial it back a bit—most of that’s probably not muscle. Bulk smart, not sloppy! #BulkingTips #MuscleGain #GymLife #Health #Fitness
