Listen "The Truth About Bulking Up - How Is Muscle Actually Built?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Smarter Strength Training, I talk about bulking up. It's a fear that many women have when starting to strength train. But what does it take to add a significant amount of muscle?
Topics in this episode are:
- The two types of hypertrophy (muscle tissue)
- How is muscle built?
- What is mechanical tension & metabolic stress
- How recovery and nutrition feature in hypertrophy
- How is strength training different to training for hypertrophy?
- How would you train to try and not to build muscle?
