Description

In this episode of Talking Nutrition, Johan is joined by coach, educator, bodybuilder, and gym owner Aaron Straker to talk about the reality of building muscle. You'll learn how much muscle to can realistically expect to gain (without PEDs), how social media skews many people's expectations of what's achievable, and what to look out for if you're trying to pack on lean tissue. Aaron also shares his personal experience with TRT and enhanced bodybuilding, the pros and cons, and his exit strategy once he's done competing. Lastly, you'll learn why fast muscle gain shouldn't be the goal, why lab work is essential for monitoring your long-term health, misinformation and common myths to watch out for, and more. Enjoy the episode!
