Bulking is a controversial topic.

Some say it\u2019s the only way to gain muscle effectively, and others say it\u2019s a relic of the Dark Ages bodybuilding.

\u201cYou gotta eat big to get big,\u201d the former say.

\u201cNo,\u201d the latter reply, \u201cyou just have to eat right.\u201d

That is, traditional bulking maintains that, to achieve maximum muscle growth, you should do whatever it takes to cram down thousands of calories per day (GOMAD, for example), and accept rapid fat gain as a price to be paid.

Followers of the new philosophy, however, say that you don\u2019t have to eat a large surplus of food and gain a large amount of body fat to build muscle effectively.

If you train right, and ensure you\u2019re recovering adequately, they claim, you don\u2019t need to cudgel your body with calories to grow.

Who\u2019s right? Well, both are.

Old-school bulkers are correct in that you need to eat more food than usual to build muscle efficiently, and new-schoolers are correct in that ballooning your body fat percentage is not only unnecessary for muscle building, but detrimental.

There\u2019s a sweet spot is in the middle, which is where clean bulking enters the picture.

It marries what bodybuilders have known anecdotally for decades with what modern scientific research into muscle hypertrophy has revealed, giving you the best of both worlds.

In other words, clean bulking allows you to gain muscle as quickly as possible, without forcing you to get fat in the process.

And in this episode, we\u2019re going to break it all down.

You\u2019re going to learn where \u201cdirty bulking\u201d misses the mark, why clean bulking works better, and how to actually go about doing it.

Let\u2019s get started.
