How to Build Muscle as an Athlete (Without Getting Slower)
Update: 2025-11-13
Description
Most athletes think “eat more” or “drink more protein shakes” is the secret to building muscle — but that’s not how elite athletes do it.
In this episode, Nick breaks down how to build muscle that actually translates to better performance, without getting slower, heavier, or tired mid-season. You’ll learn how to fuel like the 1%, not the 99%, and how to make small adjustments that create massive results over time.
What You’ll Learn
- How to eat to grow, not just eat more
- Why most athletes lose muscle in-season (and how to prevent it)
- The real role of protein, carbs, and fats in muscle building
- How to adjust intake when training ramps up
- Why consistency beats perfection in every phase of training
What’s one small change you’re making this week to fuel like an elite athlete?
