#197: How to Build 5lb of Muscle in 2025


Listen Later

Building 5lb of muscle can reverse your musculoskeletal aging by over a decade. You'll improve your body composition, feel stronger, and improve your energy. Muscle tissue isn't optional, and it doesn't just impact you in the short-term. It's essential to live a long, healthy life.

Shannon will teach you how to train and eat to build 5lb of muscle in 2025. Grab a pen and paper, as she'll help you calculate your calorie needs if body recomposition (fat loss alongside muscle gain) is your goal.

If you want structured workouts to help you build muscle in 2025, you can join Evlo for the month of January for free. New members only. Sign up between December 29th and January 1st. Join at evlofitness.com.
