"I would amend Greg's advice in one way. Start by just recomping for like one to two years. Like you just maintain your body weight, eat plenty of protein, good healthy foods, and train with weights pretty hard. You're going to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time for like literally two years. And then getting lean is a matter of maybe losing just 10 pounds and then you're already jacked."

"Once you get lean, not only is it healthier to bulk because you're not getting super over fat... you start lean and then you go and you bulk and you end pretty lean. And so even at the top of your bulk, you're not disgusting looking... And also you can have this process where you see your body changing in the mirror because you're still lean enough to see the muscle shapes changing."

"You can do squats and pair it with upright rows... you do every movement you do paired like that, back to back, and you do six movements, it's going to take you about 30 minutes... But 40 minutes twice a week, man, you're going to get in unbelievable shape."

"False. But you have to get close. Within three, four reps away from failure is where most of the good gains seem to be happening."
