Exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist @drstacysims explains why simply adding reps is not enough to build muscle.
In this week’s episode of The Honest Channel Podcast, she breaks down a key misconception in strength training — the difference between muscle endurance and true strength.
We also unpack the science of female physiology — and why what works for men doesn’t always work for women.
If you want to stay strong, capable and independent for decades to come… this matters.
