Chris Bumstead emphasizes the importance of longer bulking periods for muscle retention. He explains that quickly bulking (e.g., two months) and immediately cutting can result in losing significant muscle, whereas muscle built over extended periods (six months to several years) is retained more effectively during cuts. Chris prefers a gradual bulking approach, slowly increasing calories (150-400 calories at a time) as his body plateaus, minimizing fat gain. In short, slower, sustained bulks lead to more lasting, quality muscle growth.
