Alan Roberts goes on INSANE rant against fitness industry "nobody should be bulking"

Inbetween all the cursing and shouting he roasts Greg Doucette and says nobody should be bulking or trying to hit a 500lb squat in 2020 because Covid will kill you if your body fat % is too high

Starting weight 130lbs
Current stats: 6"2, 210lbs.

The 8th and final rule: If this is your first night at Gym Club....... you have to squat.

I don't like that guy anymore. He seems to go after Greg in a nasty way and I think it's all because he's friends with Jeff and all that fake weights drama that went on YouTube.

most people will gain more muscle between 8-12% bf and switch to mostly fat gain after 12% making bulking pointless and counterproductive

I don't know this dude, but I wouldn't blame fitness youtubers on fitness not actually meaning fitness.
Fitness in that context means lifting and it already did before youtube being around not being fit. That's just what it is.

He then went after stephanie buttermore for no reason other than views.

A lot of people in the industry don't like him, but pretend to because they know his toxic fanbase will attack them if they say anything negative about greg. Allegedly there are people now doxing him and harassing his gf and family. There are legit psychopaths in the fitness industry. Guy might be digging his own grave.
greg has become a hyuge ******* but he's a youtub celeri now making good money during covid so i don't think he cares.

don't mind if he gets harassed. he's pathetic. he cudn't even say that simeon panda isn't natty.

increasing your metabolism over time and focusing more on your workouts and protein intake than "calories" , macronutrient timing, and carb/calorie cycling.

Insulin sensitivity is one of the second biggest drivers of muscle growth and ultimately the regulator of if you are gaining fat or muscle with the calories you consume.

As a now 30+ male I regret those college bulks srs. If you’re natty all that eating just gets you fat. Agree bulking is dumb.

Can't believe anyone still gives a fuk about any of this chit, let alone follow people on IG/youtube.

- Eat moderately and healthy most of the time to offset weekend binges on pizza, wings, and other tasty schit.

- Go to the gym 3 times a week and bust your ass for 30 minutes for maintenance. Go 4 to 5 days for any specific goal you're trying to reach.

people with less than stellar genetics (i.e. not black) and who grew up fat and/or unathletic need guidance.

just going to the gym for 30 minutes 3 times a week and eating "healthy" doesn't work for most normies.

He makes a very valid point. Most of the "fitness " channels are merely clickbait and merch selling pages.

Typical ster0id meathead cope. You *******s over think everything. A natty lifter that goes to the gym 3 or 4 days a week doesn't need to consider these variables and they won't make any significant difference. Just get enough protein, progressive overload, sufficient calories, rest and that's it.
its proven fact that muscle protein synthesis is enhanced at specific times, and muscle glycogen replenishment is also VERY enhanced post workout.

Eating a carb heavy meal post workout VS 30 min before bed 8 hours after working out yields diferent results.

Eating a high fat meal pre workout as opposed to before going to sleep also yields different results.

Eating high fat with high GI carbs also yields different results.

this "negligible bullchit" is why some people gain fat more than muscle when bulking and others can eat 6000 calories a day and not gain fat.

I don't think anybody should be following this '500 calorie surplus per day' bulking nonsense. Not unless you have supreme genetics. The rest of us will just gain body fat.

Cope.

Consistency beats out any specialized bullschit program you'll ever download or subscribe to 10 times out of 10. I've been going to the gym for over 15 years. For the vast majority of that time I was just doing bullschit bro-splits.

Specialized periodization/westside for skinny bastards type training only makes a difference if you're following them for 8months+. Most people cant even commit to a 6 month gym contract.

Not watched the vid but I generally agree with Alan.

you have to understand that his audience isn't BB.com or any group trying to look shredded. He is (at least within the last year and thne some) now focused more on general weight-loss/healthy habit building. think he bulked up to like 250lbs to get strong etc, then leaned out and realised that it was fcking pointless. His joints felt like schit, he felt like schit, he compared to now looked like schit etc.

The vast, vast,vastmajority of people in the west nowadays are fat. As in overweight, going on obese. If you can look down and your gut doesn't hang over your belt, let alone you can see your six pack, you're in a growing minority of people. If your gut reaction is "but I'm already lean, my gains" then congrats, you can ignore his message because it doesn't apply to you.

Every fukking loser who talks about cals in/cals out for WEIGHT LOSS... Key word WEIGHT (not FAT LOSS), is a fukkin idiot and doesn't know chit and hasn't trained 100+ avg natty ppl.
Same with .77-1g/per lbs protein *******s.
But hey continue to belief what you WANT to belief (because its easier - and you suck) and then go google things to complete your confirmation bias. Your source will be some idiot who wants to appeal to everyone.

Didn't watch vid and don't know who Alan Roberts is, but he is correct about the bulking meme. Enhanced bbers told everyone to bulk and cut like they do, but nattys are missing the key ingredient: pharmaceuticals.

If you are natty just starting out, eat maintenance calories and lift with progressive overload in mind. Youwillgain muscle. No need to be chugging gallons of milk, putting on fat for no reason
