Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

In this Q&A episode, we talk about building phases, the role they play in body recomposition, and how to avoid common pitfalls.

We dive into practical tips on structuring a building phase to optimize muscle growth without unnecessary fat gain, understanding the difference between effective building phases and "decomp" phases, and why consistency in training, nutrition, and lifestyle is crucial. We also discuss whether mini-cuts and bulks are effective strategies and how long you should ideally spend in a building phase.
