They cover how to find your maintenance calories, how much of a surplus to eat, where those extra calories should come from, why sleep is the most overlooked factor in a bulk, how protein helps minimize fat gain, why junk food will derail your bulk even if the calories look right on paper, and why staying active with daily steps actually speeds up muscle building rather than working against it.
