In this episode of Empowered Radio, Emma breaks down one of the biggest mindset shifts she's made in her fitness journey: doing less to get more. Emma shares how she went from training six days a week with heavy cardio to four focused, intentional sessions - and how her physique actually improved as a result. She unpacks the science of muscle growth, explains the concept of Reps in Reserve (RIR), and calls out "junk volume" - the extra training that adds fatigue without adding meaningful stimulus. Whether you're a seasoned lifter or just starting out, this episode will challenge how you think about training frequency. recovery, and what it really takes to build muscle.
