This month on the Better show we begin our annual tradition of looking back throughout the year, to find the Best Of - moments of 2022. We will be combining clips from an array of guests we have had on the show to talk about such subjects as Metabolism, Menstruation & Menopause, Hormones and this week’s topic…Muscle & Hypertrophy. We will hear from one of our favourite guests of the year, Sal Di Stefano to speak on the psychology of fitness and the performance metrics we use. We also hear from Dr. Phil Maffetone on aerobic training volume, Dr. Mindy Pelz on fasted and fed workouts along with the use of creatine and amino acids. We hearken back to our conversation with Layne Norton, where we discuss why women avoid building muscle, the psychological rewards of showing up for yourself in the gym and how it builds grit. We hear from Don Saladino, trainer to some of the biggest hollywood stars to chat about physique building for women, their upper body strength, and lifting heavy around your cycle. Another favourite from 2022, Robert Sikes (you may know him as Keto Savage) drops some knowledge about the importance of your build phase, hypertrophy while on the ketogenic diet and using exogenous ketones. We thoroughly enjoyed putting this together for you Betties, please let us know if anything from this episode helped you with your fitness journey in the comments!
