Welcome back to Part 2 of How to Build Muscle While Minimizing Fat Gain.
In this episode, Sue and Alex continue answering your most common questions about building muscle in a way that feels controlled and sustainable.
Muscle gain is an expensive process; your body won't prioritize it unless you’re placing the right demand on it and giving it enough time. Building off last week's foundation, they dive into what realistic muscle gain actually looks like, how to track it, and which metrics are worth paying attention to if you want to see real progress.
They unpack macros, tackle the big cardio question, and explain the important role of gut health and proper digestion. This episode brings clarity, realistic expectations, and a reminder that true muscle gain is a slow, methodical process.
As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Be sure to like and subscribe and leave us a review if you loved this episode!
