In this episode, Coach JK breaks down one of the most common fears in fitness: losing muscle when life throws off your training routine.
Whether it’s travel, injury, or illness, taking time off doesn’t automatically mean you’re losing the progress you’ve worked so hard for.
JK unpacks what really causes muscle loss, what the research says about timelines for atrophy, and why perception often doesn’t match reality.
You’ll learn:
How long it actually takes to lose muscle mass
Why strength declines faster than muscle size
The truth behind what you're seeing in the mirror after a break
What to focus on when your training isn’t consistent
Actionable ways to maintain muscle through travel, stress, or recovery
If you’ve ever felt frustrated after time away from the gym, or worried your progress is slipping, this episode will give you the perspective and tools to stay grounded and keep moving forward.
