| 0:00.0 | In this episode of the podcast, I'm going to teach you a step-by-step process for lean gaining. |
| 0:05.6 | That is, to build as much muscle as possible while gaining as little fat, if any, as possible. |
| 0:11.1 | And by the end of this podcast, you'll know exactly what to do with your muscle growth plan. |
| 0:14.8 | Just how long you can expect your results to take and feel confident that you will gain nothing but muscle on a consistent basis |
| 0:21.3 | until you reach your goal. |
| 0:24.9 | The greatest things in life all start with a challenge. |
| 0:28.9 | You must accept that everything is hard before it gets easy. |
| 0:32.9 | Everything you want in life begins with a hard path. |
| 0:36.9 | First thing we need to do is define the different terms people use when they're talking about lean gaining. |
| 0:43.1 | So people will say gain-taining. |
| 0:45.6 | They will say main-gaining, both of which don't make any sense because you can't maintain and gain, |
| 0:50.8 | because maintain would imply that you're not going anywhere. |

| 1:12.1 | We want to build as much muscle as possible. |
| 1:15.3 | And we want to ideally not gain any body fat if possible. |
| 1:19.2 | There has been a lot of advice given when somebody is trying to build muscle. |
| 1:24.1 | And usually the advice is to eat as much as possible and train as hard as possible. |
| 1:28.9 | This is a very ballistic and mindless approach. And although I do believe you need to eat more |
| 1:33.5 | and you definitely need to train hard, you can't just aimlessly train and you can't just |
| 1:38.0 | aimlessly eat. You will just get fat. And what we are trying to do with a lean gaining or |
| 1:43.1 | lean bulking approach is the opposite of that. |
