Description

Text us to let us know what you want to hear on the podcast!

Most women want to look lean and defined, but skip the one phase that actually makes it possible: building muscle. In Part 1 of a 3-part series, we break down exactly what happens during a smart, effective build phase so you know what’s normal, what’s productive, and what to expect along the way.

We cover:

  • The true purpose of a build phase and why it’s not “letting yourself go”
  • Realistic timelines and rates of muscle gain
  • How to differentiate between muscle, fat, water, and food volume
  • The physical changes that indicate progress (even when the scale is up)
  • The mental shift required to complete a build without sabotaging your results

If you want a stronger physique, a higher metabolic ceiling, and lasting definition later, this is where it starts.

This is PART 1: WHAT TO EXPECT IN AN EFFECTIVE BUILD PHASE

PART 2 (NEXT EPISODE): WHAT TO EXPECT IN AN EFFECTIVE DEFICIT PHASE

PART 3: WHAT TO EXPECT IN AN EFFECTIVE "MAINTENANCE" PHASE
