Link to my episode on Philips pod: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1870546/episodes/16824060Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!In this episode, I had the pleasure of bringing on Philip Pape, certified nutrition coach, high-performance physique engineer, and host of the Wits & Weights Podcast, for a collab conversation on all things body recomposition. This was part two of our collaboration—Philip interviewed me for his podcast about how maintenance can be a powerful tool for body recomposition (check that out too—linked in the show notes).For my show, I flipped the script and asked him about his approach to:How he defines body recomp (it’s more than just "lose fat, build muscle at the same time")When he uses small deficits vs. small surpluses with clientsHow he sets up fat loss phases without crashing biofeedbackThe benefits of "aggressive maintenance" and small surpluses for lean gainsWhy we need to stop obsessing over weight and body fat % and focus on what we’re actually buildingWe also talked about who should be in a surplus (and who shouldn’t), how to monitor progress beyond the scale, and why low-carb/keto diets often underdeliver in muscle-building phases.Whether you’re a coach or someone trying to build muscle, lose fat, or both—this episode is packed with nuance, client experience, and practical takeaways. Where to find Philip: Podcast: https://podcast.witsandweights.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/witsandweights/Follow me on Instagram for more information and education:  @jeffhoehn_FREE 30 Min Strategy Call: HEREBody Recomp Checklist 2.0 HERENutrition Periodization Masterclass: HEREHow You Can Work With Me?: HERECoaching application: HEREBody Recomp Checklist 2.0: https://chipper-producer-6244.kit.com/26b5c9f94a
