Episode notes
Prioritize Muscle Growth After a Break
- Prioritize muscle growth and protein intake when returning to fitness after a break, even if you've gained weight.
- This approach facilitates easier cutting later and utilizes muscle memory for faster gains.
Focus on Health, Not Aesthetics
- Approach fitness for health, vitality, and supporting a better life.
- Ironically, chasing superficial goals like sex appeal leads to losing those, as well as health and energy.
Shifting Fitness Focus
- Initial fitness motivation often stems from looks or health issues, but shouldn't be the ultimate goal.
- Good coaches help clients shift from superficial targets to deeper values for sustained progress.
