Robert Feesey Shares His Experience With Bulking... Is It Worth It?! 

Great to see Rob on here. A massive sweep to his back. He really stands out on stage. Well done, bud.

as always - LOVE these interviews with successful natty's, they are worth their weight in gold!!! ... In response to some of the comments like "can't build muscle after 3-4 years" I totally disagree... 59 year old natural bodybuilder here, been training since 16 years old (with a 12 year layoff when I focused on taekwondo in my 40's/early 50's), and I certainly don't have great genetics for bodybuilding ... My feelings are that of course you CAN'T lay down new muscle tissue at the same rate as when you first started or in your younger days, but you can still gain some muscle or refine your physique, just at a much slower rate. Leverage things like periodization to focus on specific muscle groups, use creatine, take in more protein to account for less efficient age related protein assimilation, strict LEAN bulks (small caloric surpluses resulting in 1-2 pounds per month), and always pay more attention to the mirror than the scale when in your lean bulks, etc...

He definitely has a point. It worked for me and after a while you find your balance and you don't need to bulk in the traditional sense.

Excellent. I can relate to most of this. I am 45 years old and started training at 25.

I listen to a lot of bodybuilding podcast steroid and natural. This is by far the best one! I really enjoy it and I also believe this guy makes a ton of sense I've never seen a natural pack on size after he's a mature male and been training for 3 or 4 years hard.

This man is describing my first 6,8 years of training. I did the same thing

interesting take, curiously what federations did he compete for and what 12 titles did he win

No way, John a heart would say the complete opposite , to remain lean at all times and stay within grabbing distance of leanness , getting fat for me is not an option

BULK is the ONLY WAY to grow really big, ONLY WAY

What's up with these UK people talking about (stone)?? What the hell is even that!!!! Why can't they use pounds or kilos like everyone else. Nobody understands what you're talking about.

His training was inefficient and there's no reason to get fat and he never did a bulk after his newb gainz so no wonder he never gained more muscle but really who cares what optimal is. Live your life
