24: Where Cycle Syncing Went Wrong and How to Make it More Muscle-Centric


Listen Later

There is so much to love about the concept of cycle syncing, but there is one area where it went incredibly wrong.  Typical cycle syncing recommendations recommend only lifting 2 weeks out of 4.  This is not even enough to maintain current muscle mass.


Muscle is massively under-appreciated as the highly metabolic organ that it is and weightlifting is an activity that everyone should be participating in at least on a weekly basis.


Tune into this episode to hear about:

  • What is cycle syncing?
  • Where did it go right?
  • Where did it go wrong?
  • How can approach cycle syncing with a view towards gaining muscle?
  • Is weightlifting stressful?
