Ep 153: Time-Efficient Muscle Growth, Cardio for Lifters, and Metabolism Myths with Jordan Lips

Want to unlock time-efficient muscle growth? Tune in as Jordan Lips spills the secrets of hypertrophy optimization and the truth about metabolic adaptation!

Today, Philip (@witsandweights) is joined by personal trainer, ex-gym owner, and MNU Certified Nutritionist Jordan Lips, who works exclusively online with people who want to get healthier across a broad range of goals.

Philip invited Jordan on the show because of his straightforward approach to topics like metabolism and building muscle, which are often misconstrued in the fitness industry. Today, he shares his expertise in three big areas we're hearing a lot about: time-efficient hypertrophy, incorporating cardio as a lifter, and clearing up some of the misconceptions about metabolic adaptation.

Jordan has over 15 years of experience as the mind behind Jordan Lips Fitness and offers both 1-on-1 and group coaching. His online group programs, including 'The Hyper Trophies' for the gym and 'Home Bodies' for those working out from home, are designed to respect your time and lifestyle. And it doesn't hurt that Jordan deeply understands biomechanics, nutrition, and individualized program design. His podcast, "Where Optimal Meets Practical," is focused on optimizing your training, nutrition, and mindset but doing so in a practical way.
