204. You’re Wasting Gains If You Ignore These 5 Hacks

Feb 13, 2025

Lifting heavy and eating big isn’t enough, if you’re not optimizing recovery, hormones, and performance, you’re making this way harder than it needs to be. Most people train their asses off but completely ignore the science-backed biohacks that can take muscle growth to the next level. You can keep guessing, or you can start working smarter.

In this episode, I’m giving you 5 next-level muscle-building biohacks that I’ve personally tested and refined over years of training, coaching, and biohacking my own body. Tracking blood glucose to maximize carb uptake, sleep and HRV monitoring to dial in recovery, red light therapy for testosterone optimization, it’s all here. These aren’t gimmicks, they’re real strategies that give you the edge.

I’ll also break down why your training intensity is useless if your recovery is trash, how cold exposure can skyrocket testosterone, and why ignoring blood and DNA testing is keeping you from unlocking your full potential.

You want to build serious muscle? Then stop guessing and start applying what actually works. Tap in, take notes, and let’s get to work.
