Ever wondered if you could hack your bulking phase to gain more muscle and less fat?

This episode answers a question from our free Facebook community that many data-driven "optimizers" are wondering about.

John asked if strategic extreme deficit days during an otherwise surplus-focused bulking phase could help "clean up" fat gain.

It seems logical on paper... create a weekly calorie surplus while periodically burning fat through protein-sparing modified fasts. But does your body respond to this the way you might expect?

Learn how muscle building actually works and how to optimize your approach to building muscle with minimal fat gain.
