Dr Doug McGuff - Why You Should NOT Bulk Up (#161)

Dr Doug McGuff (Instagram / YouTube) is the co-author of Body by Science: A Research Based Program for Strength Training, Body building, and Complete Fitness in 12 Minutes a Week and The Primal Prescription: Surviving The “Sick Care” Sinkhole.

Doug practices full-time emergency medicine with Blue Ridge Emergency Physicians and owns, Ultimate Exercise, where he and his instructors continue to explore the limits of exercise through their personal training of clients. Doug is one of the leading experts in high intensity strength training and provides consultancy services to help you achieve your health and body composition goals, setup a home gym, or start a HIT facility HERE.

This episode is Doug's response to Should I Bulk Up (#157). In episode 157, I described how I was feeling insecure about my physique and embarked on a calorie surplus alongside my training regime to attempt to stimulate more muscle growth. In this latest episode (#161), Doug describes precisely why he thinks this is a bad idea.

This is one of the most important episodes I've published on the pursuit of optimal muscle gain and strength training over the long term. If you are a hardgainer or been doing HIT for a long time, you will find this enlightening, hilariously honest and very helpful. I am so excited and honoured to be able to bring you this.

"By the time we get to where we are .... I think what you experience is .... stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery, nothing. Stimulus, recovery ... then suddenly something happens."

~ Dr Doug McGuff

In this episode, we discuss:

• How gaining body fat can potentially reduce muscle mass
• How perhaps calorie intake should be organic
• The truth about Doug's own genetics and training failures (this will shock you!)
• How to spot if you're over training
• … and much, much more
