#198 Muscle Growth Is a Recovery Game

from Tom The Trainer's Fitness Over 40

In this Live in the Tribe, I break down how to return to the gym after being sick without wrecking yourself, why most people over-prioritize weak body parts too early, and how to actually bring up a stubborn chest the right way.We talk about full body vs upper/lower splits when restarting, when it makes sense to focus on lagging muscle groups, how recovery dictates your volume, and why sleep is the most overlooked muscle-building tool. I also give my honest take on Zercher squats, Smith machine debates, and why you need to stop worrying about what everyone else is doing in the gym.If you want to train smarter, grow more, and stop sabotaging your recovery, this one’s for you.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Mouland to book a Free Strategy Call to apply for coaching.Have the best day ever!
