Direct to camera science explainer from @jeffnippard
The creator directly addresses the camera to explain the optimal rate of weight gain for building muscle, citing two different scientific studies to contrast the needs of experienced lifters versus beginners. He breaks down specific percentage targets for body weight gain per month, and concludes by seamlessly transitioning into a promotional call-to-action for the MacroFactor nutrition app to help viewers track these targets.

Transcript excerpt
On a bulk, how fast should you gain weight? If you gain too fast, you'll gain mostly fat. If you gain too slow, you might be leaving muscle gains on the table. In a new bulking study, 17 experienced lifters trained for eight weeks. One group slow bulked, gaining about 1% of their body weight per month. The other group fast bulked, gaining about 3% of their body weight per month. Both groups gained about the same amount of muscle, but the fast bulkers gained significantly more fat. There is an exception though, new lifters. When you're new to lifting, you can bulk a little faster and gain mostly muscle mass. In this classic study by Rosenek and colleagues, untrained lifters went on a bulk and started lifting four days a week. They put on six and a half pounds in eight weeks, And even the subjects eating the highest calories gained mostly lean tissue, very little fat gain. So if you're a beginner starting a bulk, you should gain around 0.5 to 1% of your body weight per week. So if you weigh a hundred and fifty pounds, that'll come out to about 0.75 to 1.5 pounds of gain per week or three to six pounds per month. After your first six months of lifting, you'll wanna slow down. At that
