Most people want to both shred fat and gain more muscle. Unfortunately, only newbie weightlifters or people with a lot of fat to lose can do both at the same time. Even if you belong in one of these two categories, you cannot simultaneously build muscle and shred fat efficiently.Doing both at the same time violates the basic principles of body composition:You must maintain a caloric deficit to shred fat (calories in < calories out)You must maintain a caloric surplus to build muscle (calories in > calories out)So what's the solution? You need to pick one. Since you probably can’t build muscle and lose fat at the same time, and even if you can you aren’t doing either one efficiently, you need to juggle your cuts and bulks. In other words, you focus on shredding fat for a few weeks or months and then focus on building muscle for a few months and then shred again. This way, you can stay fairly lean year round!In this podcast, we’re going to tell you exactly how we bulk and shred to continue building muscle and strength!Apply to the Vegan Superhero Academy, our 1-on-1 online coaching program: https://thevegangym.com/coachingFollow us on Instagram for daily tips and inspiration: https://www.instagram.com/thevegangym/Check out our vegan fitness apparel: https://vegangymgear.com/Support the show

People ask me all the time, “how can I build vegan muscle?” Well, I’ve been training for over a decade now and I’ve tried just about every training routine, diet regimen, and supplement that you can imagine. Like most guys, I had no clue what I was doing when I started out. I turned to magazines and the advice of professional bodybuilders for help, which had me spending a couple of hours in the gym every day and wasting hundreds of dollars on worthless supplements each month…only to make mediocre progress. This went on for years, and I jumped from workout program to workout program. In fact, just 3 years ago I finally learned the 3 Laws of Building Vegan Muscle and in this episode Anders and I will share all of them with you. If you stick with these 3 Laws, you could chop YEARS of wasted time and effort off your vegan fitness journey.Get your free copy of our new book, Vegan Fat Shredding Secrets: https://www.veganshredding.comApply to the Vegan Superhero Academy, our 1-on-1 online coaching program: https://www.vegansuperheroacademy.comFollow us on Instagram for daily tips and inspiration: https://www.instagram.com/thevegangym/Check out our vegan fitness apparel: https://vegangymgear.com/Support the show
