The Dr. Joey Munoz Show

In this week's podcast episode, I dive into the top 10 muscle-building myths I used to believe, and why they were totally wrong. One of the biggest? The idea that you need to “bulk” to gain muscle—when in fact, you can build muscle at maintenance or even in a slight deficit if you focus on key factors like training intensity and recovery. I also debunk the myth of “muscle confusion” and explain why constantly changing exercises can actually slow your progress. Plus, I cover the truth about the anabolic window and why more sets and volume don’t always equal more muscle.
