PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club DAVE DOLAK An avid listener and kayaker Vinnie hopes to Kayak with him! Called in and had a great phone call with Vinnie Was under the impression that you had to eat more calories (whether they were good or bad) to gain muscle BUILDING MUSCLE WITHOUT BULKING UP You don't necessarily need to take in more calories/carbs to get lean muscle Your muscles may get bigger this way, but so does your stomach Andy was 6'5 and ~140 lbs, they made him try to "bulk up" by putting tons of powders into milkshakes and such He got some fat around the middle which he didn't need Makes you feel a 'pump', but doesn't help muscle growth and can hurt your health Your muscles will build at the same rate, whether you're 17 or 70 You won't RECOVER as fast, but your muscles still break down/divide/rebuild at the same rate Packing on extra calories doesn't make those muscles build faster Don't listen to BroScience
