Podcasts about build muscle

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!Building muscle in a deficit is one of the most misunderstood topics in fitness. So in today's episode, I break down the common mistakes people make when thinking about muscle growth in a deficit, what actually determines your muscle growth potential, and the key inputs that will make or break your results.I also explain why training intensity and volume matter so much, how protein and carbohydrate intake should be approached, why sleep and stress load management play a bigger role than most people think, and how to use cardio and steps without overdoing it. So if you've been trying to build muscle while losing fat, want to stop spinning your wheels in a deficit, or just want a more practical and strategic approach to body recomposition, this episode is a must-listen.Let's talk about:Why Building Muscle In A Deficit Is Tough Common Mistakes & Thought Processes What Determines Muscle Growth Potential Body Fat's Role In Muscle Growth Potential How Current Muscle Mass Affects Potential How Deficit Size Impacts Muscle Growth Potential The Key Inputs That Matter Lifting & Training Volume Spreading The Stimulus Throughout The Week Protein Intake Spreading Protein Across Feedings Carbohydrates Nutrition Around Workouts Sleep & Circadian Rhythm Stress Load Management Cardio & Steps Supplements Summary & TakeawaysFollow me on Instagram for more information and education: https://www.instagram.com/jeffhoehn_/?hl=enHow You Can Work With Me?: https://jhhealth.net/workwithme/Coaching application: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfE-99wLDZRXlOOY1pWuAmkogdZOm-7ZvN_thbqNWLdNrj5bg/viewformBody Recomp Checklist 2.0: https://chipper-producer-6244.kit.com/26b5c9f94a

In today's episode, I'm breaking down the exact strength training formula I use and teach — one that's designed specifically for women in their late 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. Because the rules don't change just because you get older. What your body needs stays pretty consistent, and today I'm giving you the simple, no-BS version of what actually works. In this episode, I cover: Why doing more — more cardio, more steps, more classes — is actually working against your goals The role of progressive overload and why your body needs a reason to build muscle Why cardio will never be your primary tool for changing your body composition The nutrition non-negotiables (or "suggestions," if that word feels better!) that I come back to again and again How to think about protein, carbohydrates, and fat in a way that's simple and sustainable Why 9 out of 10 times, the problem isn't your training — it's how you're fueling The strength training formula simplified: lift progressively, fuel with intention, recover on purpose, and repeat — for months, not weeks Let's dive in!

If you think you need to train to failure to build muscle, you've been operating on outdated science. Dr. Brad Schoenfeld has nearly 400 peer-reviewed papers on hypertrophy and he's done a complete 180 on some of his most firmly held beliefs. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Brad Schoenfeld, PhD, professor of exercise science and one of the world's most cited researchers in muscle hypertrophy. We break down the training myths that are still circulating online including why training to failure isn't necessary, why light weights can build as much muscle as heavy ones, and why two 30-minute sessions a week is genuinely enough for most people. Brad also explains the science of type one versus type two fiber loss with age, how GLP-1s are complicating muscle retention, and what the research actually says about rest intervals, cold plunges, and post-exercise heat. We also go deep into the cutting edge of hypertrophy science: lengthened partials, electro-stimulation, the overlooked connection between muscle and metabolic health, and the key additions in the third edition of his landmark textbook. This episode is for anyone who trains, wants to train, or wants to understand what science actually says about building a body that performs and lasts. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+:*https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/youtube-sales-page Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for evidence-based conversations at the intersection of brain science, longevity, and performance. _____ *TOPICS DISCUSSED*(00:00:00) Intro: The Belief Brad Held in the 90s That Science Has Since Overturned (00:01:08) Meet Dr. Brad Schoenfeld: 400 Papers and What We Still Don't Know About Muscle Growth (00:06:13) Light Weights vs. Heavy Weights: The Study That Changed Everything (00:09:10) Type I vs. Type II Muscle Fibers and Why Type II Atrophies With Age (00:11:43) Muscle, Brain Health, and the Two-Days-a-Week Resistance Training Protocol (00:17:26) Strength vs. Power: Why Explosive Training Matters More Than You Think (00:21:32) The Biggest Lie in Fitness: There Is No Single Best Way to Build Muscle (00:23:15) Two 30-Minute Sessions a Week Is Enough (00:27:01) Protein Requirements for Muscle Growth: Where the Research Actually Lands (00:31:18) GLP-1s and Muscle Loss: What the Evidence Says (00:38:36) Aerobic Training, Step Count, and Where Cardio Fits In (00:40:47) How Muscle Improves Every Organ System in Your Body (00:44:35) Research Gaps in Advanced Training Techniques (00:49:00) Mechanical Tension as the Primary Driver of Hypertrophy (00:53:37) Rest Intervals: How Long You Actually Need Between Sets (00:58:20) Lengthened Partials: The Training Insight That Surprised the Field (01:02:10) Electrostimulation and At-Home Resistance Technology: Does It Work?

Can you actually build muscle after menopause? Or have you missed your window?This is one of the most common questions I get. And I think it comes from a myth a lot of women still believe: that strength training is for younger people, and maybe even dangerous once you're in midlife. After helping hundreds of women get started lifting, this is a myth I really want to talk about.In this episode I get into what the research really says about muscle and menopause, why so many women are doing the work and still seeing nothing change, and what your body actually needs from you now that it's not 20 anymore.If you've been wondering whether it's too late for you, listen to this one.Enjoy the show!Resources Mentioned:Learn to Lift Strength Training Membership Send me your thoughts

Dr. Eric Helms returns to add important nuance to the extreme and absolute claims we see on social media about building muscle.Have you ever heard the following claims:“Only the last 5 reps count, everything else is junk volume”“You need to train to failure to build muscle”“There's no benefit to more than 1 hard set for hypertrophy”“You never need to train more than 4–6 reps for hypertrophy”“People can't accurately assess their proximity to failure at higher rep ranges”Eric tackles these and more hypertrophy claims and concepts with research and provides:Where they may hold technical truthWhere they're misleadingWhere they're lacking critical context or nuanceWhere they don't work for every populationPlus Eric explains why you might not be in calorie maintenance even though the scale stays constant while you gain muscle and lose fat, and how much of a calorie surplus do we really need to efficiently build muscle.Eric brings practical reality to the divisive social media hypertrophy playground.This is essential listening for anyone trying to build muscle, coaches people who want to build muscle, or feels confused about conflicting claims online.Instagram: @helms3dmjCHAPTERS00:30 Failure Training Basics03:44 Hypertrophy Evidence05:52 Strength Versus Failure07:01 Real World Failure Limits10:13 Defining True Failure11:30 Adapting To Hard Work14:55 Volume Intensity Debate16:51 Silos And Survivorship25:50 Bodybuilding Volume Reality32:05 Diminishing Returns Explained38:44 Practical Constraints and Planning40:40 Linear Vs Diminishing Curves42:58 Volume vs Failure Tradeoffs46:42 Do Last Reps Count48:06 Beginners vs Advanced Needs52:36 High Volume High RIR Methods56:56 RIR Accuracy At High Reps01:03:01 Why Heavy Reps All Count01:07:20 Practical Rep Range Choices01:08:58 Calorie Surplus For Growth01:11:10 Surplus Data: Beginners vs Trained01:21:38 How Big Should A Surplus Be01:24:09 Wrap Up and ResourcesSUPPORT THE SHOWIf this episode helped you make sense of hypertrophy science, training volume, or muscle building myths, you can support the show by:Subscribing and checking out more episodesSharing it on social media (tag me and I'll respond)Sending it to a coach, lifter, or someone overwhelmed by conflicting training adviceFOLLOW ANDREW COATESInstagram: @andrewcoatesfitnesshttps://www.andrewcoatesfitness.comPARTNERS AND RESOURCESRP Strength App (use code COATESRP)https://www.rpstrength.com/coatesJust Bite Me Meals (use code ANDREWCOATESFITNESS for 10% off)https://justbitememeals.comMacrosFirst – FREE Premium TrialDownload MacrosFirst and during setup select ANDREWKNKG Bags (15% off)https://www.knkg.com/Andrew59676Versa Grippshttps://www.versagripps.com/andrewcoatesTRAINHEROIC – FREE 90-Day Trialhttps://www.trainheroic.com/liftfreeReply to the email you receive (or email trials@trainheroic.com) and let them know Andrew sent you

If you've ever looked at your dumbbell collection and thought, “Am I supposed to just keep buying heavier weights forever?” then this episode is for you.Britany breaks down one of the most misunderstood concepts in fitness: progressive overload. She explains how muscle growth doesn't only come from lifting heavier and how women working out at home can continue building strength, muscle, and better health even when they feel stuck with the equipment they already have.She also shares the honest reality of home workouts, why your body adapts faster than you think, and the uncomfortable truth about why many women stop seeing results in their workouts.In this episode, we discuss: What progressive overload actually means  Why muscle growth is about more than just lifting heavier  Mechanical tension explained simply  How to gain muscle with limited dumbbells  How to use reps, tempo, and sets to continue progressing  Why your workouts may no longer feel effective Resources mentioned in this episode:Get 20% off The Essential Dumbbell Exercise Tutorial Guide hereGet a free 7-day trial of the Sweat App and join Britany's Mid Year Challenge SIGN UP FOR BRITANY'S NEWSLETTERhttps://britany.myflodesk.com/filterfreeASK BRITANY A QUESTION OR REQUEST A TOPIChttps://forms.gle/j9NC3yM5vrdBs8mJ8

Struggling to lose fat even though you're eating well, doing cardio, or trying to stay consistent with your workouts?The missing piece may not be more restriction or more cardio. It may be building muscle.In this episode, I'm breaking down why weight training is one of the most important tools for fat loss, especially if you want results that last. We'll talk about how strength training helps you build lean muscle, improve your metabolism, change your body composition, and create a body that looks stronger, leaner, and more defined.You'll learn 5 simple weight training tips to help you get better fat loss results without feeling like you need to live in the gym, starve yourself, or do endless cardio.In this video, we cover:-Why muscle matters for fat loss-How weight training supports your metabolism-The difference between losing weight and changing your body composition-How to structure strength training for better results-Why more cardio is not always the answer-How to train in a way that helps you feel strong, lean, and confidentIf you're a woman over 40, or you feel like what used to work no longer works, this episode will help you understand how to use strength training more effectively so you can build muscle, burn fat, and create sustainable results.00:00 Weight Training For Fat Loss07:12 Tip 1: workout designs09:52 Tip 2: power work14:07 Tip 3: mobility work15:23 Tip 4: tools and progressions17:46 Tip 5: compound movements

There is no shortage of training advice in the fitness industry.But when it comes to women, a lot of that advice is not just inaccurate, it's completely misleading.Women are constantly being told they need to train differently.That they need to lift heavier or muscle growth won't happen.That shorter rest periods are better.That they need to constantly switch workouts to keep progressing.And the problem is…Most of this sounds scientific.It references hormones.It references physiology.It references research.But when you actually break it down — much of it is built on misapplied data, oversimplified concepts, and in many cases, straight up misinformation.In this episode of the Chasing Clarity Health & Fitness Podcast, I'm joined once again by Lyle McDonald to break down some of the most common training myths targeted at women.We unpack what the research actually says about muscle growth, strength development, and programming and more importantly, how to apply it in a real-world coaching context.Because at the end of the day, the fundamentals of training don't change based on fear-based marketing or social media narratives.They come down to principles.And once you understand those principles, you can train with clarity and confidence.HERE IS WHAT WE COVER:MYTH 1: WOMEN SHOULD LIFT IN THE 3-5 REP RANGE TO MAXIMIZE MUSCLE GROWTH WHY LOW-LOAD TRAINING STILL BUILDS MUSCLE EVEN AS WOMEN AGEHOW MOTOR UNIT RECRUITMENT ACTUALLY WORKS WITH HEAVY VS LIGHT LOADSMYTH 2: WOMEN GAIN MORE STRENGTH WITH SHORTER REST PERIODSWHY SHORT REST PERIODS CAN HURT YOUR PROGRESS, NOT HELP ITHOW REST INTERVALS IMPACT TRAINING VOLUME & HYPERTROPHYMYTH 3: YOU SHOULD SWITCH YOUR WORKOUTS & EXERCISES EVERY 4 WEEKS TO GAIN MUSCLE & STRENGTH QUICKER THE TRUTH ABOUT SWITCHING WORKOUTS EVERY 4 WEEKSWHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/Email: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comFor Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiry

Elite performance is not a personality trait. It is biology, managed intentionally. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Kristen Holmes, Global Head of Human Performance at WHOOP, to talk about what health tracking should actually do for you. They break down how to use wearable data without getting trapped in day-to-day noise, why sleep consistency beats chasing perfect sleep duration, and how recovery drives the capacity you need for clear thinking, stable energy, and better decisions. If you want the upside of high output without the crash that usually follows, this conversation gives you the framework. Here's what you'll learn: How to read your data in a way that supports better decisions, not more second-guessing What a strong baseline looks like across HRV, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, and VO2 max A simple starting point to stabilize sleep and recovery before you chase optimization If you want to perform like an outlier, start living like your biology matters.

Dr. Antonella Schwarz returns to the Optimal Protein Podcast to discuss her latest study restuls and why building muscle—not simply losing weight—is one of the most powerful things we can do for longevity, metabolic health, and body composition. The PSMF Library is officially live

In this episode, I'm breaking down the four pillars of recomposition to help you shrink your body fat, build lean muscle, and reclaim the energy you had in your 20s. For 30 years, the fitness world has preached the same rule: you have to "bulk" to gain muscle, or "cut" to lose fat. But modern science shows us a different path. It is entirely possible to do both at the same time through a process called Body Recomposition.

In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I reveal why muscle is one of the most overlooked organs of longevity and metabolic health. As we age, losing muscle can quietly increase blood sugar issues, stubborn weight gain, fatigue, inflammation, and insulin resistance — even if you're eating “healthy.”You'll discover how muscle acts like a metabolic shield, helping your body absorb glucose more efficiently, improve insulin sensitivity, stabilize energy, and protect against chronic disease. I also explain why women especially struggle with muscle loss during perimenopause and menopause, and what you can do right now to rebuild strength and support your metabolism naturally.If you've been struggling with belly fat, blood sugar swings, cravings, low energy, or weight that won't budge, this episode could completely change the way you think about fitness and health.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Accelerated Liver Care® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-liver-care • Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement • Accelerated AMINOS® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-aminos • Accelerated Ancient Salt® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-ancient-salt-4-oz  • Accelerated Fast® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-fast-supplementNot sure what food to eat and avoid?

Build Muscle, Burn Fat, Boost Recovery & Become Second Half StrongHow much protein should men over 40 eat?Men over 40 should aim for 150 grams of protein per day as a simple, effective target to support muscle, metabolism, recovery, fat loss, and healthy aging. A practical way to hit this is by eating around 50 grams of protein per meal across three meals, using high-quality protein sources like eggs, beef, chicken, fish, Greek yogurt, and whey protein.

Want to get stronger, hit more PRs, and build lean muscle? Start with your food.In this video, I'm breaking down 7 foods you should be eating daily or weekly to fuel harder training, improve recovery, and support muscle growth. These are simple staples you can add into your current nutrition plan: oats, Greek yogurt, potatoes, white rice, salmon, lean beef, and eggs.If you're stuck lifting the same weights, unsure if you're eating too much or too little, or tired of guessing with your nutrition, CBG can help you build a customized plan around your workouts, schedule, and goals.

If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLEIn this episode, Sue breaks down the most common things women say on calls... Right before they decide to stay stuck. And these aren't lazy people. These are women who are already putting in effort, who care, and who want results.She goes deeper into what actually lies underneath phrases like, "I just need to get back on track" or "I'll do better next week." Because those thoughts aren't a plan, they're a loop. One that keeps you restarting instead of building real momentum.This episode challenges what those patterns are really costing you and why the issue isn't readiness or discipline; it's the lack of a system that supports consistency.Have questions for future episodes or a topic you'd like us to cover?

I spent years thinking losing fat while building muscle was impossible...and that belief was completely sabotaging me. I was eating less, training harder, and wondering why I never looked as defined as I felt I should. The answer? I was optimizing for weight loss, not recomp. And the scale was lying to me the entire time.In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly why the scale isn't the measure of progress you think it is, what signs to actually look for to know recomp is working, and the four essential things you need to focus on to get the best results as fast as possible.We're covering:Why your body builds muscle before it releases fat...and why that's actually a good signThe real reason you look "skinny fat" even when you're losing weightHow to measure progress when the scale won't budgeWhy I always look at your workouts before your nutritionThe unsexy macros secret that makes high protein diets actually sustainableHow sleep is silently sabotaging your resultsIf you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still not seeing the definition you want, this one's for you.

Because chasing perfection isn't the same as pursuing excellence, and one will burn you out while the other moves you forward.She explores what it means to live in alignment with your values, why you can't wait for motivation or permission to show up, and how keeping the promises you make to yourself is what actually builds confidence over time.This episode is a reminder that showing up as your best self isn't about doing more; it's about taking care of yourself in a way that allows you to sustain the life and results you're working toward.Have questions for future episodes or a topic you'd like us to cover?

Our guest this week is Andrew Ginsburg of Southport, CT who is a stand-up comedian, author of three books and perhaps most importantly, father of three young children.Andrew and his wife, Rachel Gerber, have been married for 10 years and are the proud parents of three young children: Ben (8), Leo (6) and Remi (4).Professionally Andrew has been a fitness trainer and an accomplished stand-up comedian for more than two decades.  He was also a competitive body builder in his youth.   One of Andrew's gifts is his ability to write and communicate.  He is the author of: Pumping Irony: How to Build Muscle, Lose Weight, and Have the Last Laugh, and two children's books: Critter Caravan, andThe Colors Of My Sky Andrew's passion for being a father is rooted in the complicated relationship he shared with his late father, who was a medic and Lt. Commender in the Navy in Vietnam, a Harvard trained physician and chief of surgery at Forrest Hills. Sadly his dad was catastrophically injured in a jogging accident at 68 that compromised his mobility and intellectual ability the last 15 years of his life. It's an authentic and uplifting story all on this episode of the SFN Dad To Dad Podcast.Show Notes - Phone – (917) 576-0919Email – ginsburgnyc@gmail.comWebsite - https://andrewginsburg.com/homeBook – Pumping Irony - https://tinyurl.com/4tzkd346Book - Critter Caravan - https://tinyurl.com/3tt3ndffBook – The Colors Of My Sky - https://tinyurl.com/4h6v8c98Order your copy of the new 21CD book: Dads Raising Chidlren With Special Needs & Disabilities: A Guide For 21st Century Dads on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4tdvjcvJoin 21CD on the SFN U.S. Tour, a 30 day, 50 state, 60+ stop tour taking place from May 21 to June 21, 2026: to strengthen and grow the Special Fathers Network as well as give away 2,000 copies of our new book.  Special Fathers Network –SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: “I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated.  There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through.”SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do.

What does it take to go from skating in professional hockey leagues across Europe and North America to battling blazes as a firefighter…and then building a shredded, energetic body well into your 60s? In this episode, I sit down with Rick Dietrich — retired pro hockey player, longtime Fire Department captain, and passionate personal trainer who's helping people get stronger, leaner, and more capable at any age. Rick shares his journey from playing pro hockey to 28+ years on the job as a firefighter, and now his mission to prove that age is just a number. At 61, he trains 5–7 days a week, follows smart nutrition (including intermittent fasting), and swears by zone 2 incline walking, time-under-tension lifting, and training for real-life function — not just aesthetics. We dive into: - How hockey discipline translates to long-term fitness - Why most people over 40 train the wrong way (and what actually works) - His exact protocols for fat loss, muscle preservation, and staying mobile - The mindset shift that keeps him feeling like he's 30 while staying strong, independent, and injury-resistant Whether you're a former athlete, a busy professional, or someone who wants to age powerfully instead of just “getting older,” Rick's no-nonsense, experience-backed advice will motivate and equip you to train smarter for the long game.If you think your best years are behind you — think again. This is proof that consistency, smart training, and the right mindset can keep you performing at a high level for decades.

The issue isn't a lack of knowledge, and it's not even a lack of structure; it's the constant mental juggling. Instead of executing, you're managing variables, second-guessing decisions, and adjusting too quickly for anything to actually work.She breaks down why not every signal means you need to change the plan, and how this cycle of short attempts and decision fatigue is what's really holding you back. Because progress doesn't come from knowing more, it comes from having clarity on what applies to you—right now—and sticking with it long enough to see results.If you're ready to remove the guesswork and finally have a filter that helps you make the right decisions for your body and your life, this episode is for you.Have questions for future episodes or a topic you'd like us to cover?

If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLEYou're consistent in every area of your life—your work, your responsibilities, your commitments... So why does fitness feel like the one place you can't seem to follow through?In this episode, Sue breaks down the real reason you're consistent with everything except your fitness, and it's not because you're lazy or lacking discipline.This is for the woman who's doing a lot right: you train, you track, you understand the basics, but somewhere along the way, it still isn't clicking.The reality is that most people don't actually have a plan; they have a collection of good intentions. And intentions require constant negotiation.Instead, she walks you through why structure removes negotiation, and how building a routine that's realistic (not impressive) is what actually creates consistency. Because progress doesn't come from trying harder—it comes from building something that works with your life, not against it.Have questions for future episodes or a topic you'd like us to cover?
