Takeaways

• 🏋️‍♂️ Gain weight slowly and steadily over weeks and months for natural muscle growth.
• 🔍 For naturals, use body weight as a reliable indicator of progress and adjust diet accordingly.
• 🚫 Avoid rapid weight gain that leads to excessive fat accumulation, which can affect performance and aesthetics.
• 📈 Aim for a consistent rate of weight gain, typically between 0.25 to 1 pound per week, depending on individual factors.
• ⏱️ Maintain a bulking phase for approximately 8 to 20 weeks to ensure measurable muscle gains over time.
• 💉 For those using performance-enhancing drugs, the scale is less reliable due to water retention and other factors.
• 🥗 Focus on consuming a diet of mostly healthy foods to support muscle growth, even when using enhancements.
• 🔄 If weight gain stalls, adjust calorie intake by adding 250-500 calories from healthy sources to stimulate further growth.
• 👀 Monitor physical appearance and hunger cues as indicators of caloric intake when the scale is not a reliable guide.
• 🩺 Conduct blood work after mass gaining phases to assess health markers and adjust future cycles based on results.
• 🛑 Implement mini cuts during a bulk if body fat becomes uncomfortable, to reset and increase sensitivity to growth stimuli.

Q & A

What is the recommended rate of weight gain for natural individuals according to Dr. Mike?

Dr. Mike suggests that natural individuals should aim to gain between a quarter pound per week to about a pound per week in scale weight, depending on individual differences and circumstances.

Why is it suggested to avoid gaining weight too quickly even if genetics and other factors allow for it?

Gaining weight too quickly can lead to discomfort during training, aesthetic displeasure, and the potential for loose skin and increased body fat that may be hard to lose later.

What is the general duration for a weight gain phase according to the script?

The general duration for a weight gain phase should be between 8 to 20 weeks, as it's challenging to maintain the necessary training intensity and volume for longer periods without a break.

How should a natural individual adjust their diet if their weight gain stalls?

If a natural individual's weight gain stalls, they should consider adding an additional 250 calories from a combination of carbs and fats to their diet, and adjust accordingly if needed.

What is the main issue with using the scale as a measure of weight gain for enhanced individuals?

For enhanced individuals, the scale is unreliable due to significant water weight fluctuations caused by the use of anabolic substances, making it difficult to accurately gauge tissue gain.

What is the alternative approach to using the scale for enhanced individuals when trying to gauge weight gain?

Enhanced individuals should focus on eating a consistent amount of healthy food, maintaining a slight feeling of fullness, and adjusting their diet based on changes in their body's appearance and conditioning.

How does Dr. Mike suggest managing the diet if an enhanced individual is gaining fat too quickly?

If an enhanced individual is gaining fat too quickly, they should reduce fats and carbs, eliminate cheat meals for a short period, and then adjust their calorie intake to a level that maintains a leaner physique while still gaining muscle.

What is the importance of blood work for individuals who are enhanced and following a mass gain phase?

Blood work is crucial to monitor health markers and ensure that the effects of anabolic substances are not negatively impacting one's health, guiding adjustments in dosages or compounds for future cycles.

What is the recommended approach for beginners staying natural when it comes to weight gain?

Beginners staying natural should focus on gaining weight slowly and steadily over weeks and months, and consider mini cuts if they feel they are getting too fat for comfort.

What advice does Dr. Mike give for advanced individuals who are enhanced regarding their approach to weight gain?

Advanced and enhanced individuals should not rely heavily on the scale, but rather on hunger and fullness cues, and adjust their diet to ensure they are in a slight caloric surplus without gaining fat too quickly.

🏋️‍♂️ Weight Gain Strategies for Natural and Enhanced Individuals

Dr. Mike discusses the nuances of weight gain for both natural and enhanced individuals, emphasizing the importance of a gradual and steady approach over weeks and months. He highlights the role of genetics, training intensity, and the potential for muscle and fat gain. For naturals, he suggests using body weight as a reliable indicator for progress and adjusting caloric intake accordingly. Enhanced individuals, due to the impact of drugs on water retention, are advised to focus less on scale weight and more on overall nutrition and hunger cues.

05:01

🍴 Adjusting Diet to Overcome Weight Gain Plateaus

The paragraph delves into strategies for overcoming weight gain plateaus, suggesting incremental increases in caloric intake from healthy sources if weight stalls. For those who become too fat too quickly, a temporary reduction in fats and elimination of cheat meals are recommended to lean out while maintaining muscle mass. The emphasis is on the importance of monitoring body changes over scale weight and adjusting diet to find a balance that promotes muscle gain without excessive fat accumulation.

10:04

💊 Navigating Weight Gain for Enhanced Individuals

This section addresses the complexities of weight gain for enhanced individuals, noting the unreliability of scale weight due to drug-induced water retention. It suggests focusing on consistent consumption of healthy, high-protein foods to support anabolism, and adjusting caloric intake based on hunger and fullness cues. The advice includes reducing fats and carbs if gaining weight too quickly, and using mini cuts to increase sensitivity to growth and improve muscle gain efficiency.

15:06

📉 Understanding the Impact of Anabolics on Hunger and Weight

Dr. Mike explains the varying effects of anabolic substances on hunger and weight management. Some individuals may experience increased appetite, while others may have a suppressed desire to eat. It's crucial for enhanced individuals to monitor their weight and conditioning, adjusting food intake to ensure they are in a caloric surplus for muscle gain. The paragraph also warns against the pitfalls of relying solely on cheat meals for caloric surplus and the importance of consistent, healthy eating.

20:07

🔚 Concluding Advice on Gaining Muscle Responsibly

In conclusion, Dr. Mike offers final recommendations for muscle gain, urging beginners and intermediates to stay natural and focus on slow, steady weight gain. For advanced individuals, especially those enhanced, he advises monitoring hunger and fullness, adjusting diet based on body conditioning, and performing blood work to ensure health is not compromised. The importance of maintaining a balance between muscle gain and health is emphasized, with a reminder to be smart and responsible throughout the process.

Keywords

💡Weight Gain

Weight gain refers to the process of increasing one's body weight, typically through muscle hypertrophy or fat accumulation. In the video's context, it is about the intentional increase in body mass, especially muscle mass, through a combination of diet and exercise. The script discusses different approaches to weight gain for 'natty' (natural, non-drug-assisted) individuals versus those who are 'enhanced' (using performance-enhancing drugs).

💡Natural (Natty)

In the bodybuilding and fitness community, 'natural' or 'natty' refers to individuals who do not use performance-enhancing drugs and rely solely on diet and exercise to improve their physique. The script emphasizes the benefits of staying natural, including better health and the psychological satisfaction of achieving results without artificial means.

💡Enhanced

Enhanced, in the context of the script, refers to individuals who use anabolic substances such as steroids, growth hormone, and insulin to augment their muscle gain and physique development. The video discusses the complexities and health implications associated with being enhanced, especially regarding weight gain and body water fluctuations.

💡Body Fat Percentage

Body fat percentage is the proportion of an individual's body mass that is fat. The script mentions body fat percentage as a critical indicator for deciding when to stop a weight gain phase to avoid excessive fat accumulation, which can lead to health issues and aesthetic displeasure.

💡Caloric Intake

Caloric intake refers to the total amount of energy an individual consumes through food and beverages. The video emphasizes the importance of managing caloric intake for effective weight gain, suggesting that a hypercaloric diet (more calories than the body needs) is necessary for muscle growth, especially for those who are 'enhanced'.

💡Macronutrients

Macronutrients are the three primary nutrients that provide energy: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The script discusses adjusting macronutrients, particularly fats and carbohydrates, as a strategy for managing weight gain and body composition, especially for enhanced individuals dealing with water retention.

💡Training Intensity

Training intensity refers to the effort or degree of difficulty in a workout. The video mentions that most people cannot maintain high training intensity for more than 20 weeks without a break, which is a factor to consider when planning a weight gain phase to ensure sustainable muscle growth.

💡Aesthetics

Aesthetics in the context of fitness refers to the physical appearance and attractiveness of one's physique. The script uses humor to discuss the importance of maintaining a balance between muscle gain and fat accumulation for aesthetic purposes, suggesting that excessive fat can detract from the desired look.

💡Mini Cut

A mini cut is a short, temporary phase of reduced caloric intake and increased activity to lose fat while minimally affecting muscle mass. The video suggests using mini cuts as a strategy for intermediates to regain sensitivity to muscle growth after a period of weight gain.

💡Health Markers

Health markers are biological indicators that can signal the state of one's health, such as cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and liver function tests. The script advises getting blood work done after a mass gain phase to monitor health markers and make informed decisions about future training and nutrition plans.

💡Performance-Enhancing Drugs (PEDs)

PEDs are substances that athletes use to improve their physical abilities, such as strength, stamina, or recovery. The video script humorously and critically discusses PEDs, suggesting that while they may enhance muscle gain, they also come with health risks and ethical considerations.

gain slowly and steadily for long

periods of time weeks and months and

then cut after when you decide that

you're a fat slob and your a future

girlfriend would be to be mistakes you

her hippopotamus by accident although

maybe if she's into animalistic weird

satanic shit you're

in hey folks Dr Mike here for

Renaissance purz let's talk about

gaining weight cuz honestly like I

checked out your profile looks sort of

skinny no offense but you could use a

couple pounds wait are you natural or

are you enhanced because they're are

differences in how to approach weight

gain let's talk about them oh by the way

if you're new to the channel I'm Dr Mike

iSell someone made the egregious mistake

of granting me a PhD in sport physiology

I'm a professor of exercise and Sport

Science I'm a competitive Brazilian judu

Grappler I'm not very good at that and

I'm a competitive bodybuilder and I'm

definitely not very good at that but I

do have terrible jokes for you and maybe

a little bit of knowledge so let's

continue if you want to gain weight you

just eat more right wrong as Arnold

would say no well sort of but the story

can get a little bit complicated based

on if you are a natchy boy if you are

free of the terrible effects of drugs on

our communities and our society and if

you were

enhanced that's always what I think of

enhanced it's not really sexy to put a

needle of testosterone in your ass that

that would call enhancement I want a

fucking robotic arm godamn it then I'll

call myself enhanced but for now we'll

just call drug users enhanced too let's

take a look at how weight gain is

managed and approached both in Natty

folks and in enhanced folks natural

weight gain because dare I say almost

all of you fine folks fans of this

channel subscribers are probably natural

and probably should

be natti's first the scale can be very

reliable for you that's good news

because the scale tells you how much you

weigh and you're trying to gain weight

and if you can use the scale to see how

much well weight you've gained that's

awesome you should aim to gain something

between about a quarter pound per week

in scale weight which is tough to see

every week but every month you gain

about a pound all the way up to about a

pound per week in some cases now there

are going to be huge differences between

individuals and huge differences between

scenarios if you have amazing genetics

you're pretty much a beginner you're

pretty lean you have a huge bone

structure you may be able to gain a

pound per week for eight or 12 or 16

weeks even up to 20 weeks and gain a

really awesome combination of muscle and

fat if you're much more advanced you

don't have amazing genetics it might

behoove you to gain much slower maybe at

a quarter pound per week or something

like that a barely detectable rate just

so you don't get outlandishly fat and

just have to cut off the F

later huge differences and there's tons

of other videos in which we uh sort

those differences if you guys want to

get a video on how much weight should I

gain personally please let us know in

the comments and maybe we'll do that

also hey Scott the video guy you want to

send me a text right now reminding me to

make the video of how much weight should

I gain depending on my conditions you're

the first text he ever sent me and you

guys I text him all the time and the

last text him dick pics pictures of my

dick outlined with my underwear pictures

of what he thinks isn't a dick it's kind

of blurry and then he hits unblur and

it's oh still my dick he never responds

so in any case that should be the gain

rate and the duration should be

something like 8 to 20 weeks in length 8

weeks because anything much less than

that is can be okay but is often just

not enough to see measurable gains in

muscle that last over time and a maximum

of 20 weeks for one really simple reason

most people outside of really new

beginners can't maintain the requisite

training intensity and volume

continuously for more than 20 weeks

without at least a few weeks of break of

taking it Ultra easy and why would you

gain weight if you can't train hard well

if you wanted to gain fat you would gain

weight without training hard so that's a

bad idea 8 to 20 weeks is usually the

right answer of course that's just an

average sometimes six is okay and

sometimes even 22 is okay now you gain

like that and if you're Natty you stop

gaining weight when you've gotten too

fat for Comfort what body fat level

should you stop gaining at Scott send me

a second text what body fat level should

you stop gaining at thank you so much

I'll make that video as well in much

more depth but let me clear up a few

things here there is not a reliable top

end number that we know of yet well I

know of yet well I know everything

because I'm Dr Mike on YouTube and I'm

famous God don't anyone love me we don't

know exactly what the top end is of

where your ratio of muscle gain to Fat

gain starts to get not so good when you

get too fat I'll say it another way we

at least know that well into the early

20s or rather the low 20s in percent fat

it's still a really good p ratio or

partitioning ratio of muscle gain to Fat

gain so if you gain from being 12% fat

to 15% fat you can gain a similar amount

of muscle and fat is if you gain from

20% to 23% Fat similar maybe not

identical but there's no reason to

believe that as soon as you exceed 15%

or 20% all of a sudden everything is fat

and everything goes to hell mostly what

occurs first is you get discomfort in

one of several ways one is you are so

fat you're so out of shape training is

hard and then over is hard and then

muscle stimulus is hard so fuck that and

another thing is aesthetically you just

don't look good anymore and look if

you've got fat rolls globbing up what

the fuck are you doing I thought you

were in the muscle game for Aesthetics

at least to some extent what the hell is

going on there and uh so basically those

two situations kind of performance and

Aesthetics are a big deal and remember

and we have made other videos on this I

don't know when they're going to get

released maybe later maybe earlier but

if you gain a crapload of body fat the

skin and the cells stick around for

after even if you get leaner you get

loose skin your fat cells stay around

the same in number even though they

shrink in size and they kind of cry and

scream and make you hungrier and less

apt to gain body water sorry more apt to

gain body water all this really bad

stuff so you don't want to get too fat

definitely before any folds appear you

want to cut the process off so that are

the parameters for gaining now what

happens if you're gaining but you start

to stall out if your weight starts to

stall out and for a few weeks probably

like two you've seen no measure able

increase in your body weight you're

probably going to want to add uh some

carbs and some fats to your diet

something an addition of something like

250 total calories from some combination

of carbs and fat not Ultra important

where that comes from to see if that can

bump it and if it doesn't bump it in

another week or two add another 250 and

so on and so forth and you can even add

a little more if two bumps don't get in

moving add 500 see what happens worst

case you gain fat a little bit too fast

you can pull back a couple hundred

calories where should these carbs and

fats come from I would keep them from

healthy sources

possible can you add some junk sure just

don't do this too often or you'll get

less healthy and more fat than otherwise

and look the girl in school that you

like you desperately can't wait to talk

to she's not going to talk to you if

you're fat and unhealthy she's going to

make fun of you and throw tater tots

with nacho cheese on your face and

everyone else is going to laugh at you

and then you're going to get an erection

and oh boy I'm in fucking high school

again why did I get an eraction now she

was impressed after that cuz your boys

out here with that meat baby summer

sausage my fucking nickname

anyway Naturals you've got it easy in a

sense your body weight is a very good

guide follow your heart in everything

you do and your body weight and make

sure you're meeting your body weight

goals if you get too fat back off

maintenance fat loss so on and so forth

but if your body weight isn't Rising

like you want don't be delusional and

think you're gaining tons of muscle eat

a little bit more food most from healthy

sources a little bit of junk if you like

keep that weight coming up on the scale

until you feel a little too mushy and

then you have to reverse the process

that's natties let's talk about the

enhanced

folks those fucking

criminals the scale unfortunately as I

have learned in my enhanced Journey I'm

just kidding I'm lifetime drug free does

anyone believe that with how my face

looks maybe

anyone the scale is dog shit for and

half folks because body water

fluctuation are everything let me give

you an example you start a 16-week mass

gain cycle you plan to gain 20 pounds

during that time fuck it let's say

something more normal eight pounds half

a pound per week that's no big deal

right eight pounds of gain in 16 weeks

sounds like a great plan you start at

200 pound you started at trt to

testosterone replacement therapy dose

let's call it super trt as R Chavez of

tville GSP highly recommended source for

information calls it um 300 milligrams

of testosterone per week week you go to

500 milligrams of testosterone 500

milligrams on top of that we're at a

gram total of

primabol and you add in let's say going

from two IUS of growth hormone per day

to six IUS of growth hormone per day and

of course since you're on growth hormone

you're going to want maybe 10 to 20 IUS

of lantis slow acting insulin per day

over the course of just two or three

weeks just with that pretty gnarly but

not exceptional use of compounds the

amount of body water the average person

is going to gain no tissue just body

water exceeds 10 lb almost guaranteed if

you're remotely a responder to any of

this shit so in two weeks you weigh 210

lbs are you two pounds ahead of your 8

pound goal two weeks into the diet of 16

weeks what the fuck after that are you

like supposed to cut 2 lounds and then

make

for 16 what what the fuck is going on

well the answer is you can't tell what's

going on because you can never onetoone

attribute a certain amount of scale

weight to some combination of drug

induced water weight gain or actual

tissue gain it's an intractable problem

you can't know where it's coming from

thus we take a look at the scale and we

smash it with a hammer you guys ever

seen those commercials of like I would

say genuinely highly obese women

smashing scales with hammers girl you

didn't have to smash it with a hammer

you could have just stood on that

shit don't get me canceled please it was

just a joke um don't do that to your

scale your scale is a fine piece of

engineering work and will come in handy

in other regards but if you're

inhanced at least religiously following

your scale weight and manipulating your

calories and macros to fit your scale

weight is a very bad idea so how the

fuck are you supposed to know what to do

with your food and how do you know if

gaining if your scale is no longer

useful good question one I have thought

through and have an answer for you want

to aim to eat an amount of mostly

healthy food standard bodybuilding Fair

chicken and rice and broccoli that's how

I got big that's how the rock got big

that's how everyone gets big nobody

actually takes drugs eat your healthy

foods with high protein and eat enough

of them such that they keep you a tad

bit more full on average than you would

like to be just a little bit more full

than you would like to be that's another

decent way to make sure you're a little

bit hypercaloric your weight is going to

do question mark things during that time

but at least you know you're pushing a

decent amount of food in to supply the

raw materials for that drug and training

and nutrition and rest mediated

anabolism because the drugs are big time

Big Time some shit's going to happen

you're getting g a ton of size now if

you're getting a bit fat a bit fast just

by looking at yourself in the mirror

something that you should be doing at

least 20 times every

hour if you're getting a little too fat

what you can do in this really only

works if you're on gear and something

else I learned from brck Chavez is you

just reduce the fats and maybe a little

bit of the carbs mostly just the fats in

your diet for about a week or two you

take all of your cheat meals of which

you take maybe two or three per week on

a nice Mass gain and you eliminate them

for just about a few weeks and once you

do that you're going to notice that the

drive of the anabolics is so powerful

and now the food is much less you're

going to lean out and you're going to

still continue to gain a little bit of

muscle but you're going to lose a ton of

fat and then you're going to get your

good conditioning back and once you're

notably leaner and you're okay to go

again you ramp up your food again but

not to as high as it was before because

that clearly got your ass too fat too

fast but something intermediate to from

where it is now to where it used to be

something in between so if you work at

4,000 calories a day and you got a

little too fat a little too fast and you

eliminated some fats and some cheat

meals and that took you to 3200 calories

per day on average for the week maybe

aim to hit something like oh 3,600

calories and see what that lands you and

you can always repeat the process get a

little too fat clean up your diet drop

the fats down a little bit and by a

little bit I mean take the fats down to

whatever. three grams per pound per day

so if you're 200 pound individual take

your fat down to 60 grams of fat per day

on average take all of your cheat meals

and well just tell your girlfriend

you're not going out with her for the

next few weeks because fucking fucking I

got a fucking how do you think I fucking

keep this body for you bitch you think

I'm going to be a fucking Superman for

you without cutting my fucking fats out

and no more cheat meal she's like I

don't even know what's going on anymore

Conor every since you started using

steroids you're like I don't even feel

emotions yeah steroids are really fun

don't do any of that but do that 3600 K

Cal and if you ever need to bring it

down again you get a little too fat you

can always pull back a little bit fats

down to minimum levels eliminate cheat

meals clean it up a few weeks later

you're going to notice shit's kind of

fucking veins are popping and then

you're look okay I'm ready to go and

come back up slowly to a body fat level

that's the top end of my acceptable

range for that Mas gaining phas if on

the other hand you are eating a certain

amount of food and let's say it's a

little bit more food than you want to

eat you can't be guaranteed that you're

hypercaloric that you're eating more

calories than your body needs and thus

really adequately fueling anabolism why

because your genetic responses to the

intervention of the supplements can be

different myself I get a huge hunger

response from being an anabolics so when

I'm on a ton of gear I just want to eat

the fucking world and eat my hand and

eat my soul no don't worry the drugs

will eat my soul for me but other people

have uh anorectic response to high doses

of anabolics such that when there're are

a lot of gear they don't really like to

eat food and even if they're eating more

food that makes them full they could be

flatlining in weight and remember the

androgens and the growth hormone and

Insulin should be gaining tons of body

water if at that time your weight is

stable that means you're losing fat and

tissue really fast and that's not

something you want to do I mean it's

awesome but you're trying to gain muscle

so you're trying to go the other way

so if you're losing weight or stable in

weight and your conditioning is either

stable or improving then you want to eat

more healthy food can you know something

like 250 to 500 calories more food

instantiate that change see how it

affects you instantiate it again if

necessary to keep that process plugging

along adding junk is okay it's okay but

it it's the consistent healthy eating

meal after meal after meal or little

bits of junk here and there on top of

healthy food that make you gain muscle

if your food is isocaloric or even

hypocaloric over the week but eight

massive pieces of fucking New York style

pizza on Friday and then the world's

biggest Chinese food buffet binge on

Saturday is where you get your

hypercaloric diet from you can't shove

fucking 5,000 extra calories into your

muscles in two days and expect them to

anabolizantes to muscle the rest go to

fat and so that's just a good way of not

gaining a lot of muscle during the week

because you're hypocaloric during the

week and then gaining quite a bit of fat

during the weekends that's the worst of

all worlds so to make this very clear no

just gaining weight through cheat meals

is not a good idea is a decidedly bad

idea eat mostly healthy food just more

of it or if you're going to cheat have

like a candy bar at the end of dinner

instead of like 18 candy bars on a

Friday night after you've eaten 500

milligrams of Edibles and you don't know

what your name is anymore but you know

Candy tastes good and that's all you

need to know when your blast is over

that is your your dropping down dosages

back to replacement levels your gaining

should stop you lose a ton of weight

again the scale doesn't tell you dick so

from your old measurements and

understanding of your body you're going

to have to go to what you think is a

maintenance level of calories again

warning you're going to lose a ton of

weight during maintenance because almost

all of it is intramuscular and

subcutaneous water and it's not actual

tissue that you're losing you're going

to lose a little bit because you can't

maintain huge levels of muscularity on

very low levels of androgens but you do

keep some decent amount of what you did

when you're on the blast cycle and then

you do another blast all of it comes

back really quick and then you'll add

more later and very very importantly

make sure you do blood work at the end

of your mass gaining phases to see how

your health markers are if your health

markers have gone a little bit more

south than you and your coach think is a

good idea then for the next time getting

leaner on your fat loss phase and

staying leaner during your next bulk is

a really good idea because being lean is

one of the best ways to ensure a better

level of Health through your gain phase

I've done blood work on myself fucking

from here till the moon and back I'll

tell you this even when I'm a fuckloads

of gear my blood work is just

objectively better when I'm leaner

versus when I'm fatter so if you have

blood work problems getting leaner is a

big start and considering altering

reducing the dosages altering compounds

or really reconsidering being enhanced

altogether is probably wise move at that

point so to wrap it all up main points

that beginners can take away from this

whole chat first stay natural trust me

it's a really good idea for about 500

fucking reasons and you can YouTube

search videos uh that we've made about

steroids where I I think convincingly

illustrate that point in many different

ways and while staying Natty gain slowly

and steadily for long periods of time

weeks and months and then cut after when

you decide that you're a fat slob and

your uh future girlfriend would be to be

mistakes you for hippopotamus by

accident although maybe if she is into

animalistic weird satanic shit you're in

and then you're like yes I am a hippo

feed me that

ass no no

takers for intermediates also stay Natty

for many other very good reasons gain

slowly and steadily but if you feel like

during a gain phase you're getting a

little too fat for Comfort experiment

with short mini cuts and if you want to

know what a mini cut is Renaissance

1945 I'm kidding still it's all good if

you're Advanced and enhanced don't look

at the scale too much because it doesn't

tell you a lot but do look at hunger and

fullness and look at your conditioning

if you feel pretty full and your

conditioning is decent fucking keep

plugging if you're feeling a little

hungry and your conditioning is

improving you need to eat more no matter

how you feel hunger and fullness wise if

your conditioning is staying the same

you're not getting a little fatter or

you're actually getting leaner eat more

food if you're getting fat really fast

bunch of fats cut out some carbs maybe a

little maybe not at all definitely clean
