You’re probably regretting wasting all that money on extra
food and weight gain powders right about now. Don’t worry;
I’ve been in the same boat.
For more real world proof of why this myth is so ridiculous
let’s take a look at prisoners. Whenever you see footage of
prisoners working out you always see a lot of jacked guys. I
can promise you that these men are not being fed a huge
caloric surplus each day. Hardly. In fact, I have discussed this
personally with a few prison guards and they said the inmates
would be lucky to be getting 2000, low quality calories per
day. They grow simply from training and getting stronger. It’s
nothing more than work-induced-hypertrophy. It should also
be noted that the average prison inmate has a higher
testosterone level than the average guy on the streets. Which
proves what I have always said; that what people really need
is more testosterone, not more calories. (We’ll address how to
increase testosterone naturally in just a bit).
Next, let’s look at powerlifters who compete in a weight
class. There are many lighter guys who eventually, after many
years of training, are forced to move up out of the weight class
they competed in simply because they can not make weight
anymore. The fact that they have gotten so much stronger has
led to enough muscle growth that is has forced them out of
their weight class even though they were dieting to stay in it.
This is proof that as long as you are getting stronger and
doing more work muscle growth can occur, caloric surplus or
not (of course it will happen much faster with a slight caloric
surplus).
