🎙️ Episode 126: The Truth About Recomp: Does It Actually Works? feat Laura Savino

Body recomposition is making a comeback…And on paper, it sounds like the dream:“Just stay the same weight, build muscle, lose fat, and skip the bulk/cut cycle.”But is that actually the most effective way to change your body?In this episode, I’m joined again by my friend and fellow coach Laura Savino to break down what body recomp actually is, when it can work, and why for most people, trying to “recomp at maintenance” ends up being the slowest, most frustrating path.We talk about:* Why recomping at maintenance usually takes way longer than people expect* When body recomp can work: newbie gains, returning from a layoff, improving training, fixing nutrition, gut health, sleep, and recovery* Why influencers who say “you don’t need to bulk or cut” often already spent years doing dedicated build and fat loss phases* The problem with trying to chase body composition changes without a clear goal or timeline* Why training intensity matters more than most people realize* How under-fueling, poor gut health, excessive cardio, and high stress can limit your ability to build muscle* Why dedicated phases of building, fat loss, and maintenance usually create better resultsThis episode is for the person who says,“I just want to stay the same weight but look completely different.”Because yes, that can happen in certain situations.But if you have big goals like more muscle, less body fat, better shape, better performance, you probably need a more intentional plan than floating around at maintenance and hoping your body changes.⚠️ This isn’t about forcing everyone into a bulk or a cut.It’s about setting realistic expectations and understanding the what makes the most sense for your body, your goals, your health, and your season of life.Connect with Laura:* Instagram: @laurajustinesavinoLoved this episode?
