In this video I cover four nutrition mistakes that (pretty much) every lifter makes. I discuss how large your caloric surplus should be when bulking, how much supplements matter, the importance of protein, and how many meals you should be consuming each day.

-------------------------------

About me: I'm a Canadian natural pro bodybuilder and internationally-qualified powerlifter with a BSc in biochemistry/chemistry and a passion for science. I've been training for 12 years drug-free. I'm 5'5 and fluctuate between 160 lbs (lean) and 180 lbs (bulked).

    I am always amazed at how down to earth and no bs his approach is. It's good to see his podcast and dedication to a science driven approach.
  • I love when Jeff goes in deep on stats and science and doesnt treat his viewers like dummies. Always a clear and succinct breakdown with the full information on the screen. What a guy.

  • @Oblogonogo
    Thanks Jeff. I’ve struggled for a while trying to max out my protein and be as efficient as possible. I burnt out and realized what I was doing wasn’t sustainable for me. This video drops at a good time, encouraging me to practice workout /life balance
  • @phiillzzz807
    mistake number 5 - NOT GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP(rest)! I can't stress this enough on how important it is to get at least 7h of sleep per night.. 8 even better
  • Thank you for covering the ability to gain muscle even eating a bit less protein than is recommended, and acknowledging those who can't afford a high protein diet. Your videos are always so professional, and cover topics so thoughtfully in a short amount of time. Thank you for all your hard work and providing these educational, evidence-based videos for free!
  • @Rawafication
    Great video as always. Jeff please do a video discussing cardio and it’s effects on muscle growth when trying to cross train. Powerlifting/running etc. not just in terms of “fat loss” but in terms of its tangible effects on gaining strength.
  • @FitLabb
    One mistake I’d add is that fasted workouts don’t actually cause more bodyfat/weight loss. While it may cause a bit more fat than glycogen to be used as the energy source for the workout, you’re not actually burning more or less calories as a result, nor are you burning off any additional body fat. I’d actually argue that you’ll probably have less energy going into the workout when fasted, which can lead to a less intense & therefore less productive training session than if you properly fueled your workout beforehand. Edit: To clarify, I’m not saying you need a full meal shortly before working out. Even just eating a banana, granola bar, or a similar small healthy snack with some carbs does the job just fine 20-30 minutes before a workout. 💪
  • @JCES1332
    I am 44, been watching your videos for about 2 years already... Couldn't agree more. Every person has to listen to the results certain muscle building tips/advice give you. In order to meet that diet and routines that help you meet your goals.
  • @tiger10119
    Jeff I really love and appreciate everything you do and have done for the community. I have followed you since like 2016 you have helped me SO much.
  • Jeff, your whole energy and personality really encourages the long-range perspective which I think is so helpful for motivated people like me. Thank you for that 🙋‍♂️
  • @qweqwe1324
    6:18 that was the funniest thing you've done as Bro Jeff and I've seen all your Bro Jeffs skits. Great video as always
  • @Thektmangel
    Mistake 4 is such a common one. Im glad you covered it. Really enjoyed the video, i think this was one many lifters did need.
  • @__jdiesel
    Jeff is the gift that keeps on giving and giving and ..... thanks Jeff!
  • @Skrimyontop
    Jeff will always be the guy I watch when trying to learn anything with lifting!
  • Love this video as an physiotherapist and therapy scientist. So good in showing evidence of strength training and the nutrition. 🤩
  • Jeff adding water to the whole protein container and drinking it made me gain some muscle 😂. Love your videos and all the information you provide for us.
  • Hey man, just found your channel. Fun watching the rips. Would love the base cards, just got back into collecting. Keep up the solid videos
