Can Cyclist Learn from Body Builders?

from Built Lyfe Hosted by Kevin Summers

Nutrition for Muscle Growth—What Cyclists Are Missing Most bodybuilders and lifters follow a simple formula: bulk to gain muscle, cut to lose fat—but cyclists? They're always in a cut. Always chasing watts per kilo, always afraid of "getting too big." But at what cost? In this episode, we break down the fundamentals of nutrition for muscle growth, why endurance athletes need to stop fearing strength, and how to fuel properly without compromising performance. Adaptation is real, but if you're constantly in a deficit, what are you actually adapting to? How much strength are you leaving on the table? It's time to rethink the way we approach food, muscle, and performance. If you want to be strong on the bike and in life, this one's for you. Host/Insta Kevin Summers
