A phase focused on gaining muscle and body weight through progressive training and a calorie surplus.
Why Bulking matters
A controlled surplus can support growth while limiting unnecessary fat gain.
A practical example
Increasing average intake modestly and monitoring strength and weekly body-weight trends.
Common mistake
Using a bulk as permission for an uncontrolled intake far above energy needs.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
