Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

In this solo episode, I’m sharing a New Research: What Actually Builds Muscle and What Doesn’t

I walk through what actually drives hypertrophy, why effort and technique beat fancy strategies every time, and why things like the pump, soreness, or even hormonal spikes aren’t as important as we once thought. I also get into what recovery really means, why consistency matters more than perfection, and the rep ranges I’ve come to believe work best for long-term muscle gain especially if you’re training hard but not seeing results.

If you’ve been second-guessing your program or feel like you’re doing “all the right things” but not progressing, this episode will help clarify what matters most (and what probably doesn’t).

Let’s talk about:

• Introduction
• Mechanical tension
• Hormonal Spikes, Pump, and Soreness
• Sarcoplasmic vs. Myofibrillar Hypertrophy
• Progressive overload
• Recovery
• Staying consistent long-term
