 Next question is from Culeo Cullen 1. While bulking on a three-time per week workout routine, should we eat in a surplus on off days as well? You know what'll simplify this for a lot of people is in generally speaking look at your calories from a weekly basis. Now you can't get too extreme with this. You know what I mean by that is if you're you know four days out of a week you're in a deficit and I got to make up for it the last three days that could make things a little bit unhealthy but look at it from a weekly perspective. Ultimately you want to be in a surplus by the end of the week so if you're at a maintenance or a deficit three days a week could you end up at a surplus for the week if the other four days you eat you know and a decent surplus you totally could. This is how I tend to eat and mainly because this mimics real life more than eating the same thing every single day. Now from an organizational standpoint especially if you're tracking macros and calories and you're somebody who's you know very planned out and you have specific goals it's probably easier to just eat you know in a surplus a small surplus every single day. It's probably gonna be easier for you that way. Only problem with that is then transitioning from that to real life. Real life the way we eat is not the same every single day and in some days you're gonna eat a little less and some days you're gonna eat a little bit more but ultimately at the end of the day if you want to build muscle and you want to gain weight you're trying to bulk you have to end at a surplus for the week. It doesn't work if you don't do that. It depends on the person I'm talking to so if I have a client who really struggles to put weight on and and the bulk is more difficult then we are probably talking about trying trying to be in a surplus every day and the reason why that is because it's hard for them to be in a surplus every day and I know it's inevitable probably missed some days and so I'm probably pushing the client who struggles to bulk struggles to put weight on so that they like the hardgainer right the skinny kid right he that the kid that I was right I'm pushing that kid to probably eat in a surplus every single day knowing that some days we might miss to Salis point because I know at the end of the week I need to definitely add up flip that with somebody else somebody who let's say puts on body fat really quick and that person I would prefer to go what Salis saying where I have you know three days like the training days I like to have those really heavy and hard calorie days just because they're moving and they're exercising or hopefully most of those calories and get partitioned over to build muscle and then I'll have lower days on the days when they're not exercising just because it's easier that way they don't need as much fuel and energy because they're not working out and again it's it mimics more like real life of the up and down so and I do think you can you can be in a weekly or monthly bulk but still have low calorie days I think people don't understand that it's it's okay to do that you don't just and this was a fear I had as a young kid thinking like oh my god I had a day or two of low calories muscle just fell off my body it doesn't work that way whatsoever in fact it's probably healthy for us to have a day or two where you're under calories even though you're in a bulk a day or two in the week where you're under calories but then you're an even bigger surplus on the other day so I prefer that for health for the a person to put a lean bulk you know that doesn't have a hard time with adding calories but if I'm talking to the hardgainer or the skinny kid I'm probably trying to get him to eat as much as I can every single day.
