How to GET LEAN, Build Muscle and Get STRONG | Mark Bell on Mind Pump 1150

Anabolic Use

Mark Bell discusses the differences in anabolic substance use between powerlifting and bodybuilding. He explains that powerlifters often prioritize strength over aesthetics, leading them to use substances that may cause water retention, unlike bodybuilders who prefer faster-acting substances that don't convert to estrogen as much 1. Bell humorously notes, "If it's not full, it's empty," emphasizing the high dosages used in both sports 2.

   

Training Techniques

Training techniques in bodybuilding and powerlifting differ significantly. Bell highlights that bodybuilding focuses on quicker transitions and maintaining a pump, while powerlifting involves longer sessions with heavier weights 3. He admits, "I still feel like I'm learning them," when it comes to mastering the pump in bodybuilding 3.

   

Diet Approaches

Bell shares his dietary approaches, emphasizing a mostly carnivore diet but allowing occasional indulgences. He mentions that while he primarily eats meat, he also includes cheese, eggs, and sometimes fruit and dairy 4. Bell reflects on the moral and environmental debates surrounding veganism, stating, "I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I know anything about veganism when I've never tried it before" 5.
