You're consistent in the gym. You're following a program. You're tracking your food... But your body still isn't changing the way you want it to.


In today's episode, we're breaking down one of the most common questions we get asked:


"Why am I not building muscle even though I lift all the time?"


We'll cover the six biggest reasons you're not seeing the results you've been working for—from training with true intensity (not just checking a box), to fueling and recovering properly, and giving your body enough time to actually grow.


If you've been putting in the work but not seeing the payoff, this episode will help you finally understand what's missing—and how to fix it. Because progress shouldn't be a mystery, and with the right guidance, you can stop guessing and start growing.
