Why You’re Not Building Muscle (Even If You Think You’re Training Hard)

In this episode, Kim answers a question about fasted training and whether eating before or after a workout impacts muscle growth — but quickly uncovers the real issue most women face. It’s not nutrition. It’s intensity. Kim explains why most people only train to a fraction of their true capacity, how the brain limits effort before the body does, and why building muscle requires going beyond your comfort zone. She also shares a powerful story about training with Mark Getty and the moment she realized that pushing harder wasn’t about the coach — it was about the person under the bar.
