Bulk season is a time for improvement when it comes to building muscle. Building does not mean putting on unnecessary weight, becoming insulin resistant or negatively impacting your physique. In order to gain muscle and get your metabolism in a healthy place, yes, there will be more food, yes the training may change, and yes, the scale may nudge up a bit. However, by building more quality lean muscle mass and eating optimally for your body you can drop body fat and improve how you look and feel through a proper fat loss phase. But we need to improve your internal health, and the muscle and shape you want, before throwing you into a fat loss phase. It's all part of making sure you can live life without being deprived and making sure your metabolism is in a healthy place. Lean body mass is what will help you gain muscle and strength. Being insulin sensitive, and building lean body mass is essential as you age and enables you to live a longer, healthier life.

I met Wyatt at a Christmas tree farm this season and was impressed by his strength and traps.

In this episode, Eric Helms is joined by returning guest, his fellow 3DMJ coach and WNBF Pro bodybuilder, Alberto Nuñez, who is also the  male WNBF athlete rep. In addition, they are joined by first time guest Steff Noble, a WNBF Figure pro, experienced coach, and president of WNBF UK. The trio first reflects on what was arguably the most competitive natural bodybuilding season to date, and the overall state of drug free bodybuilding, which in many ways is flourishing. There is more interest, higher competitive levels, higher productive quality in some regions, and in some countries natural bodybuilding is growing faster than enhanced bodybuilding. In North America, while some federations are doing better than others, the market demand for natural bodybuilding is obvious, as the NPC has made a concerted push to enter the natural bodybuilding scene, promoting drug tested shows in the US and Canada (as well as overseas), and even offering the chance to turn pro at the biggest natural events, with promises of drug tested pro shows on the horizon. What does this mean for natural bodybuilding? Is this a good thing, a threat, the beginning of a new era, or the beginning of the end? Further, what does the natural bodybuilding community need to do collectively to secure its future? Join us in this episode as we review not only the 2024 natural bodybuilding season, but discuss the future of the sport.

How do we deal with misinformation from people in the bodybuilding world that are so well loved, admired, and followed? How do those of us in the fitness industry break through the noise and get the correct information to people who follow the advice of others blindly simply due to their status? Today I address a wildly popular video put out by a giant in the bodybuilding world and dispel the idea that low-fat diets are a good approach for fat-loss and daily living, especially for natural athletes. Dietary fats have an impact on testosterone and your overall hormonal balance. There are a bunch of “handshakes” along hormonal pathways that need to happen for optimal performance and health. I'll give you a thorough breakdown and examples of how this happens, for both males and females, as well as naturals and those on hormone replacement therapy.

I had Dr. Eric Helms back on the Swole Radio Podcast to discuss myths and controversies about natural bodybuilding. 1:01 Is the natty limit real? 8:50 Realistic ranges of muscle gain per year, as a beginner, intermediate, advanced, bodybuilder 23:05 How long does it take to capture most of your gains as a natural? 33:56 At what age range are natural bodybuilders at their peak? 46:44 How should advanced naturals track progress over long time scales? 55:01 Comment on these statements: “You can't get big without getting strong as a natural” 1:00:43 “Natural supplements are useless for muscle growth”. What % edge can you get with natural supplements? Eg. Creatine 1:05:55 How far can people get with the “gaintaining” approach?
