If you are pounding foods loaded with sugar, trans fats, and omega-6 vegetable oils every day, cell-membrane integrity and elasticity can be compromised, chronic systemic inflammation can predispose you to disease-or at least debilitating joint pain-and you may just end up with the emotional stability of a seesaw.Įven if you’re not scared of disease, think emotions are for women, and care only about how you look, consider that poor food choices can reduce insulin sensitivity and nutrient partitioning toward the muscle cell. Even if this “crap loading” works physique-wise, it’s not a wise choice from a long-term health perspective.

It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right, just eat it, eat it, eat it: The “dirty” school of thought is that as long as you down enough protein, you can garbage disposal whatever else you want, regardless of food quality. These days, traditional bulking strategies tend to fall under two broad categories, and they both leave much to be desired. Old-school bodybuilders like Frank Zane and Vince Gironda- two of the greatest physiques of all time, in my opinion- would tell you that you’d look a lot more impressive by adding five to eight pounds of fat-free muscle mass than by slapping on 10 pounds of muscle with 20 pounds of belly marbling. Bigger and fatter is not an ideal bulking strategy.
