Q&A: Muscle Growth, Fibre, and Protein Tips

In this solo episode, I discuss the benefits of deep tissue massages, my experience starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and how I’m adjusting my fitness routine to balance martial arts and strength training. I also tackle listener questions about fibre intake, managing calorie surpluses, when to change your training routine, and what to do if muscle growth stalls. My InstagramMy TwitterMy TikTokMy FacebookMy YouTube channelMy articlesClick here to inquire about working with me onlineClick here for a free workout plan or fat loss guideSubscribe to my email list Timestamps:(00:18) Why I Stopped Getting Massages and Why I’m Restarting(01:50) Starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: My First Session(03:30) Finding Small Victories in Martial Arts(05:25) Balancing Jiu-Jitsu and Resistance Training(07:10) Adjusting Workout Frequency for Recovery(08:45) Why Rest and Recovery Are Crucial for Progress(09:50) Protein Powder for Recovery and Convenience(11:35) Why Most People Lack Protein in Their Diets(12:50) Fibre Intake Tips: Starting the Day with a Fibre Bomb(14:45) Managing a Calorie Surplus After Weight Loss(16:25) Transitioning from Weight Loss to Maintenance and Muscle Gain(18:05) Why Muscle Growth Slows Down Over Time(19:40) When to Change Your Training Routine(21:00) Adjusting Exercises Instead of Overhauling Workouts(22:10) What to Do When Muscle Growth Stalls(24:35) Why Newbie Gains Don’t Last Forever(26:20) The Importance of Sleep for Recovery and Progress(27:40) Final Thoughts: Send in Your Questions and Share the Podcast
