from Lowering the Barrier · host Alex Thieme

What's cooler than packing on a TON of muscle? Doing it as fast as possible, that's what. Lucky for you - that's exactly what we covered in this episode! This episode is one I am personally very proud of. We cover the following aspects of muscle growth optimization: Why muscle matters Dietary considerations Calorie recommendations Surplus/maintenance/deficit Protein recommendations Carb/fat recommendations Volume Intensity (RIR / RPE) Sleep How stress impacts muscle growth Exercise selection What makes a great hypertrophy exercise Does cardio interfere with gains? How long should you stick with the same program? Rest times Best rep range Supplements And we even made time for a lengthy Q&A featuring questions from our listeners I loved this episode. It'll be one I reference for months and years. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
