LEAN BUILDING BLUEPRINT: LEAN GAINS SERIES PART 2 | EP. 208

Most people keep trying to diet their way into a better physique.They chase scale weight loss.They bounce from deficit to deficit.And they never build the foundation of muscle that actually creates the look they’re after.So they end up becoming a smaller version of themselves, not a better version of themselves.And this is especially true for the person who describes themselves as “skinny fat” or what I think is more accurately described as being overfat yet under muscled.In this episode of the Chasing Clarity Health & Fitness Podcast, I break down why a dedicated Lean Building Phase is often the missing piece for long-term physique development.We’re going to cover why building muscle changes your shape, improves your metabolism, supports better training performance, and sets you up so your next fat loss phase actually reveals something worth revealing.If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of always trying to get leaner but never looking more muscular or defined, this episode is for you.HERE IS WHAT WE COVER:WHY YOU NEED A LEAN BUILDING PHASE FOR LONG-TERM PHYSIQUE OUTCOMESTHE REAL GOAL OF A BUILDING PHASE & WHY MOST PEOPLE EXECUTE IT POORLYWHY YOU CAN’T MAXIMIZE MUSCLE GROWTH IN A CALORIE DEFICITHOW TO SET YOUR CALORIE SURPLUS FOR LEAN MUSCLE GAINTHE RATE OF GAIN I AIM FOR TO MINIMIZE FAT GAIN & MAXIMIZE THE GROWTH RUNWAYTHE NUTRITIONAL HIERARCHY OF IMPORTANCE FOR MUSCLE GROWTHHOW TO SET UP TRAINING TO ACTUALLY DRIVE HYPERTROPHYWHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/Email: [email protected] Info on Brandon’s Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryBrandon’s Website: https://www.brandondacruzfit.comMy Reading Recommendations: THE MUSCLE & STRENGTH PYRAMIDS https://getdpd.com/cart/hoplink/25469?referrer=1l54og96lf1ccw
