In today's topic, it's a little bit confusing to me, so maybe you can cipher it, but it says, what are your top tips for bulking when not a hard gainer? Oh? Does that mean that he gets too fat? Probably? Yeah? Right, Yeah, it sounds like it, But I would have phrased it different, sorry, buddy. Right. I would have said, how do I bulk without getting too fat. Yeah, uh right? Or like how do I bulke?
1:21 Or is it bad that I gain excess fat when I I bulke too quick? What do I do? Or something? So if someone is like a classic card gainer, which they do exist, but they're really kind of unicorns, I think, I think I don't think they're that common. Well, it's not physiological. Yeah, the physiological mezoic though hard gainer soft gainer just isn't a thing. No, I believe that those people just don't have a great appetite. Yeah, or yeah, you raise your relationship with food's just different. Yeah you don't. You're on everyone's unaware of how many calories they eat. Yeah, fat people are well aware. The other way the other way. It's true though thaking hard gainer, No, you choose to be little. I don't believe in that. I was like, oh, it's just mental, Like hard gainer is just an excuse that you're not eating enough.
2:06 Yeah, and I mean you could do so then reverse that. The fat people say it right now on your debut, tough guy. Then you're eating fat fat people is just an excuse that they're right. Portion is small, but their places as big as my head, that's true. I mean everyone's no a thick ONMS that came and said like, uh yeah, I really don't eat that much. I just don't know what you got here somehow. Yeah, and the chance is that it's a real fucking issue, or like one in a trillion. And then even if it is a real issue, the hard gainers fucking can't lose weight, fatty whatever whale, I don't care, you can't. The calorie deficit still like, the concept still works. Your calories just look different because people say, like, well I try a calorie deficit and it didn't work. Well, Like, no, that means you weren't in a calorie deficit like by definition. Yeah, like like your calories may need to be lower than someone else who is five hundred pounds in fucking six foot, but like your shit will still lose weight if you're eating properly less. Yeah. And the thing about the semaglue tide and all those gelp or whatever ones stimulators or whatever the fuck they're called, is that they just make you less hungry. And so yeah, you you eat less, so you lose weight, and it's you know, like to fifteen percent of your body weight. So just if you take people who naturally are like that and they want to put on weight, they tend to have to eat more calorie dense foods, which can be gross in some ways or it could
3:36 be good in some ways, depending upon Yeah, depends, But has there anybody has there? Have you encountered anybody who was not just naturally lean but fucking skinny who actually ate as many calories as it would take to gain weight. Yeah? Probably not, or and if they did, it's not consistent cost then or it's not tracked, and then yeah, oh I had all this, but like if you're not really tracking it, you don't know what you really have. It's like one meal, your four thousand calories, it's probably twenty eight hundred. Yeah, yeah, And even that, the chances are the people that are that skinny not only not eat enough, but they're probably like jittery. They probably walk a lot. They might be a fucking nurse, so they're stumping around the hospital a day. Yeah, so their overall energy expenditure so high. So for my dude, here top tips for bulking when you're not a hard gainer. I mean, I guess you don't.
4:27 I don't think you need tips right, that's the easy part. Yeah, you're basically telling me. That's why I was confused, Like you're basically telling me you can gain weight. Yeah. Yeah, So I don't know what Tippy want. I guess like still track tracking. Tracking is good because then like you won't go overboard, avoid the super calorie dense foods, but make sure that you're eating it, eating in surplus less McDonald's. Yeah, if you're actually trying to gain weight, but it's easy. Yeah, that's why you can't eat it maintenance and gain weight. No, I'm just confused. Uh yeah, I think watch tracks then yeah, I don't know what is is because even calorie dense foods isn't an issue. If you're trying to gain weight and you're tracking, Yeah, it depends on how fast you want to do it too. Yeah, but if you're tracking, yeah, that decides you, don't you know, you set your target and then the path.
5:15 Yeah you really do. Yeah, you really do. And obviously I'm on the other side, like losing weight's much more difficult for me than gaining weight, and just by my love for food and inactive lifestyle, so like I can't really relate to if I wanted to snap my fingers gain weight to be so easy. Eating is the easiest thing on the planet. Fat typically is for me too. Yeah, just eat. It's the not eating that's hard. Yeah, of course, and moving more. And I don't know about you, but I can eat one. I'm full, like totally well and anything. That's what people will just fast up, bro, you put. I can over eat broccoli salad like. I can overeat anything. I can overeat steak. I can overeat probably eggs or something's the only thing.
5:55 But even still, I'm throwing hot sauce on it. I could overeat. I mean, I eat a pound of ground beef easily. I've eaten two pounds of ground beef in one bowl. You uh, okay. So if you have a meal prep day where you're doing like three, four, five days of meals or whatever, do you have to restrain yourself to make sure that you that it actually stretches that far while you're preparing it, It's like, oh, this is done. This is good. Yeah, I mean lucky for right now, for my life, I don't have to do it. I cook like one day at a time. Yeah, just based on how I built my schedule and shit, so I literally cook a pound of ground beef a pound of vegetables. I eat it, rinse, and repeat the next day. I shop a couple days ahead, four days, I hope. So yeah, I hope you're not on a daily A lot of people do d I don't know. The pandemic is talking to some of the pandemic changed a lot of like habits, even for me, Like I don't go to the grocery store anymore. One I don't have a car, but two, like for the last three years, I just I just like get it delivered when the grocery store is downtown or trash. Yeah, I don't want to drive far out to go get groceries, like of time it would take me. Yeah, I would rather just have it delivered. I haven't done that. I've had other stuff delivered, but yeah, I mean six bucks or some shit, and on Amazon is basically free. Yeah, it is a shit. Oh I lied. I actually had cereal delivered this week from Amazon because I couldn't find my brand fiber one. I'm a but see, I ended up with the flakes and like here here I have usually have a like pretty tasteless fiber cereal right as a base. And then I throw
7:30 some like great harvest flakes on top of that, and then I throw a little bit of like some sugary cashy thing on top of that. Mix it together so it actually tastes like something all the way through, but isn't like I'm not into box of cashi. All right, final answer, I would continue some kind of movement in cardio. Cardio and bulking is absolutely fine. Monitor your calories, keep them fucking consistent, and then have like less cheat days, like if your goals are really to be jacked, skinny or bulking, like, cheat days just kind of can't be a thing. I know they like popularize on the internet because of sucking the rock Johnson and Ship, but he's d one genetics and steroid out of his brain, so it's probably not you. So the cheat days have to be minimized calculator calories and continue some kind of cardio so you don't die. There we go, All right, ude, shout it out. What do you want? You got twenty instagrams? Give give them one to follow? How do you have so many Instagrams? I don't understand. I literally have two. Now you're just lying because then each I think I've seen three and by nature each Each instagram has at least one, if not two, equal fens does so, I know you probably have. It's two instagrams, right, and then the fence does Matt at I know the fista is probably some anime icon, you know, like butt Pokers nine xxx. That's not that's not me. I don't know, man, I got two, all right, well, then hit them with two yeah underscore O G I all right easy, I'm saying, Mike, we want to find me three at speed Dot see oh new episodes Wednesday
