Podcasts about building muscle

For years, most of us have approached health and fitness with the same goal: lose weight, see the number on the scale go down, and get leaner. But what if we've been focusing on the wrong goal? In today's episode, I explain why I believe every adult (and especially busy parents) should shift their focus away from chasing a number on the scale and start prioritizing building muscle instead. Building muscle isn't just about looking better. It's one of the most powerful investments you can make in your long-term health, metabolism, strength, confidence, and quality of life. I'll walk you through the "domino effect" that happens when you stop training simply to burn calories and start training with the goal of becoming stronger and more capable. ---------- Learn about 1-on-1 online fitness coaching » https://chrisgatesfitness.com/coaching/ ---------- Get my FREE Calorie Calculator » https://chrisgatesfitness.com/newsletter/

One of the more common things you may here is that muscle weighs more than fat so that is why I am not losing weight or not seeing the changes.Interestingly, there is both truth and myth in this statement.In this episode, I answer the question once and for all: does muscle weigh more than fat? Or is there simply a misinterpretation going on.DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you! Your unique situation needs to be taken into consideration and adjusting your dietary intake.____________________________________________DOWNLOAD MY FREE MACRO NUTRITION CHEATSHEET Your Guide To Improving Your Macros & Making Meal Prep Easierhttps://theclimbingdietitian.lpages.co/macro-cheatsheet-the-climbing-dietitian/Apply for Bespoke 1:1 Macro Sherpa Nutrition Coaching Program: https://bit.ly/395QmGsCheck out and SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2Mxqs4WEmail me: aleksa@theclimbingdietitian.com.auTo find me on socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theclimbingingdietitianTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theclimbingdietitianFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theclimbingdietitianTwitter: https://twitter.com/beardyAPDLink to blog: https://bit.ly/330ULq4Check out my website for more information on me and what I do:https://www.theclimbingdietitian.com.au

You've noticed your arms are softer. Things feel heavier than they used to. And you figure that's just what happens after 50.What's actually going on underneath is a lot bigger than what you can see in the mirror.In this episode I get into what muscle is really doing for you, and what starts breaking down when it goes. Some of it surprised even me, and I've been studying this stuff for years.If you're over 50, this one matters more than you think.Enjoy the show!Resources mentioned:Lift-IT 10-Day Strength Training Kickstart > Strength Training Membership > Send me your thoughts

It's been a while since I gave a proper update on my own fitness, training and life—so that's exactly what this episode is. I answer 15 questions covering my current workout routine, recovering from tennis elbow, returning to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, cardio, calorie tracking, nutrition and whether I'm currently trying to lose fat, build muscle or maintain.  

Summer mailbag time, and you guys and gals sent us a bunch of great questions once again! The first one deals with the hidden gap between fitness science and real life: If research shows that building muscle is easy, why isn't every person you see at the gym jacked? We spent a good deal of time on that one before moving on to four more questions; see the timestamps below. We'll be back next week with the second part of this mailbag, answering another handful of questions. Timestamps: 04:00 - Question 1: It seems to me that many of the studies you discuss show that it's easier to gain muscle and strength than what is commonly believed. This clashes a bit with my real-life experience, where I see the same people (more or less) at the gym, seemingly not progressing much. Why this dichotomy? 19:15 - Question 2: I've started doing the incline bench press due to time constraints, as I believe it's a good exercise for both the shoulders and the chest. But will it instead mean that neither of them gets enough training? Is it better to choose either shoulder presses or regular bench presses instead? 24:45 - Question 3: You guys do an amazing job with StrengthLog, this podcast, and the community. Top quality in everything. What are the main challenges you face in keeping this up? Especially when there are f***ing annoying people like me? 30:00 - Question 4: What do you think are the most under-trained muscles or muscle groups, and why? Should programming best practices include coverage for these muscles, and can it be done without very specialized equipment? 39:30 - Question 5: I'd like to know your origin story! How did you meet?

“I eat differently on the weekend, is this ok? Does this go against the need for consistency?A question I was asked and a great one to answer as I am sure many wonder this.We always talk about consistency with nutrition and how you need to not worry about perfection. However, if you diet changes up come the weekend…what should you know?It's actually simpler than you think but also more nuanced too.In this episode, I explain the truth around weekend nutrition and whether you should be making a fuss about if its different to what you eat during the week or not.DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

Can you really build muscle from home, or is a gym membership essential? In this Q&A episode, I answer 10 of the most common questions about building muscle at home, including whether bodyweight exercises and resistance bands are enough, the minimum equipment you need, how to progressively overload without heavy weights, and when joining a gym actually becomes worthwhile.  

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!If you leave the gym feeling beat up or you're not building muscle the way you expected, this episode is for you. Today, I break down some of the biggest progression mistakes I see and explain why training harder isn't always the answer. Sometimes the way you progress your training is what holds you back.I also go over a few simple changes you can make to your training that can help you recover better and keep making progress. I explain why you don't need to chase a new PR every workout, how to think about rep ranges, and when it actually makes sense to increase the weight. If your workouts have been leaving you feeling more beat up than stronger, this episode will help you train in a way that's more productive over the long term.Let's talk about:00:00 Introduction00:26 Coaching and App Updates01:57 The Most Important Part of Building Muscle03:42 Why You Don't Need to Progress Every Workout07:11 Make Smaller Progressions10:14 Lower Body vs Upper Body Progression12:16 Using Small Weight Increases on Machines and Cables13:37 Don't Let Rep Ranges Hold You Back15:42 You Don't Have to Match Last Week's Reps17:00 Stop Chasing the Top of the Rep Range18:00 Recap and Final TakeawaysI'm hosting a FREE Body Recomp Live Workshop next Thursday, July 9Register Here: https://chipper-producer-6244.kit.com/e0ad63a2b2Follow 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

Body recomposition — the process of building muscle and losing fat simultaneously — is one of the most contested concepts in the entire fitness industry.The traditional dogma says you have to pick a lane. You're either bulking or you're cutting. You can't gain muscle in a deficit. And once you're past the beginner stage, recomp isn't on the table.But that framing is built on an oversimplification of how energy balance actually translates to body composition. And the research over the last several years has made that increasingly clear.On this week's episode of the CHASING CLARITY HEALTH & FITNESS PODCAST, I sat down with Dr. Eric Helms — competitive natural pro bodybuilder, founder of the MASS Research Review, co-author of the Muscle and Strength Pyramids, and one of the most respected researchers in the evidence-based community — to break down the science, the physiology, and the real-world coaching application of body recomposition.This episode is for:Trained lifters who've been told recomp is no longer on the tableFemale clients who've been spinning their wheels with cardio and over-restrictionCoaches who want to understand the research backing the recomp conversationAnyone tired of toggling between bulking and cutting without making real progressHERE'S WHAT WE COVER:THE THREE FORMS OF BODY RECOMPOSITION & WHY MOST PEOPLE DEFINE IT TOO NARROWLYWHY THE “YOU MUST BE IN A SURPLUS TO GROW MUSCLE” DOGMA IS AN OVERSIMPLIFICATIONFAT LOSS AS AN ENERGY-DEPENDENT PROCESS VS.

Creatine is one of the most well researched supplements out there. Safe and effective for most. Yet the question about it's benefits is an important one when considering context of commencing it.I was recently asked whether creatine is only good if you work out. Well, actually now we are seeing more and more evidence of benefits beyond the gym performance.In this episode, I explain the various benefits of Creatine Monohydrate.DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

So we know we need a calorie deficit to lose weight.We also know that you can make any food fit and still lose weight if the calories are correctly controlled.But should you? Just because you can do?That is the question not many ask and one that provides an additional layer of context to a commonly overly simplified area of nutrition. In this episode, I explain the nuance of flexible dieting and making any foods fit, with a consideration for the bigger nutrition picture. DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

Episode 3412: Dr. Neal Malik explores the risks of “bulking up” by overeating before building muscle, explaining why rapidly gaining fat may make long-term weight management harder. Drawing on research around fat cells, set point theory, and muscle growth, he offers a smarter approach focused on nutrient-dense foods, hydration, and sustainable strength gains without unnecessary fat accumulation. Quotes to ponder: "Imagine your body has its own internal thermostat  instead of this thermostat controlling your body temperature it controls your body weight." "Fat cells can get smaller but we can never really reduce the actual number of fat cells in the body." "I typically do not recommend individuals gain weight prior to building muscle."

I cover what “training to failure” actually means, whether beginners should do it, how close to failure you really need to train for muscle growth, why many people underestimate workout intensity, and whether pushing every set to the limit is actually helping or hurting your progress.

Building Muscle with Calisthenics: Common Mistakes to AvoidFitness coach Matt Chefilly breaks down the most common mistakes people make when trying to build muscle with bodyweight training. Drawing on 17+ years of calisthenics experience, Matt covers why rep-chasing undermines your progress, how chasing advanced skills can slow muscle growth, and why rigid progression systems don't serve most trainees. The core message: bodyweight training is simply weightlifting with your own body, and the same principles apply; consistently challenge your muscular work capacity, keep the basics boring and effective, and stop majoring in the minor things.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

In this episode, Kim answers a question about fasted training and whether eating before or after a workout impacts muscle growth — but quickly uncovers the real issue most women face. It's not nutrition. It's intensity. Kim explains why most people only train to a fraction of their true capacity, how the brain limits effort before the body does, and why building muscle requires going beyond your comfort zone. She also shares a powerful story about training with Mark Getty and the moment she realized that pushing harder wasn't about the coach — it was about the person under the bar. Inside this episode: • Does fasted training affect muscle growth? • When pre and post workout nutrition actually matters • Why most people stop at 60–70% of their true capacity • The difference between perceived effort and real failure • Why emotional limits, not physical limits, hold you back • The mindset required to build real muscle This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who feels like they're working hard… but not seeing the results they want. ✨ Follow Kim Constable online for more real talk and daily motivation:
