| 0:34.4 | Now this is going to be very controversial. |
| 0:36.6 | I'm just going to warn you up front. |
| 0:38.6 | No, I just want to really talk about bulking because this is definitely a topic that comes up a lot in my |
| 0:44.1 | Facebook group as well as in my direct messages and just in comments in general on my |
| 0:47.6 | social media and I haven't talked about it in a while and I thought that I would |
| 0:51.6 | just do an episode on this so that you can just learn more. |

| 1:38.5 | those things I personally think that having and being in a bulking phase in some way shape or form in your journey |
| 1:44.7 | once if not more is extremely beneficial, extremely important for women who are trying to build a |
| 1:49.7 | body that they want because living in a constant state of a caloric deficit is not and |
| 1:54.1 | we'll never get you the body that you want and so that's why in today's episode my hope |
