Want to know how to build muscle? The basics for beginners? This podcast breaks down the diet and exercise components to doing just that. Dr Jade helps us understand that just like losing weight requires a calorie deficit, so to does gaining muscle require a calorie excess. Calories matter and so do hormones. Not only do you want the extra calories, but you could also benefit from some of the hormones that are powerfully anabolic in their mechanism. Most importantly insulin. While research hints that there are many different approaches that can work for weight lifting, the big lifts that push the body to mechanical failure, metabolic fatigue and create a bit of muscle damage are likely going to be the ones that provide the most potent muscle growth in most situations.
