What actually builds muscle—and what’s just noise? In this episode, we break down muscle hypertrophy using a simple but powerful framework: the Training Pyramid for Muscle Growth. Starting from the foundation of consistency and progressive overload, we climb through volume, exercise selection, intensity, rep ranges, and recovery, all the way to the fine details like tempo and mind–muscle connection. Whether you’re a beginner overwhelmed by conflicting advice or an experienced lifter looking to optimize results, this episode helps you focus on what matters most—and stop majoring in the minors. Practical, evidence-based, and easy to apply in the gym.
