Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast! Dr. Eric Helms is back on the podcast, and I wanted to ask him a question I keep seeing pop up lately, which is whether bulking is dead. Eric knows the research better than anyone I’ve talked to, so this one turned into a deep conversation on body recomp that I really enjoyed. We start by catching up on where Eric is at with his pro bodybuilding career, how he's deciding between competing in 2027 or 2028, and how he's gained weight over the past year without tracking calories. From there we get into what body recomp actually is, why you can gain scale weight and still be in a deficit, and why he sees recomp as a constraint problem where you figure out what is really holding back your muscle growth. We also talk about how your body fat level changes what happens to muscle in a deficit, whether women can recomp more easily than men, and the new Vargas-Molina study on trained lifters, including what the maintenance and deficit groups actually ended up doing. If you've ever been told you have to bulk to build muscle, or that you never need to bulk again, this episode is a must-listen.
