Weightlifting feat. Thomas & Julian - How to build muscle, optimize your workout split, the importance of a protein-rich diet, mind-muscle connection, fear of gaining weight etc.

This week on Twenty Something, I’m joined by Thomas Paterson and Julian Mejia (@mejiajulian9) for an all-encompassing conversation about fitness and bodybuilding. We talk about the biggest mistakes made by beginners in building muscle, the importance of diet & protein as a core macronutrient, whether you should track your calories, how to overcome a plateau, vitamins & supplements, mind-muscle connection and the mental health benefits of exercise. Most importantly, we break down the misconceptions about ‘getting bulky’ that hold many women back from lifting heavy weights and properly fuelling their bodies. Resources mentionedTDEE CalculatorMyFitnessPal calorie & macro trackerFollow the podcast on Instagram: @2twenty.somethingConnect with me on Instagram: @dimitrovelenaFollow me on Twitter: @dimitrovelenaaEnjoy!
