In this week's podcast episode, I dive deep into the debate between animal-based and plant-based proteins for muscle growth.

Is one truly better than the other? Many believe animal protein is superior, but there’s more to the story. I explore how protein density, amino acid profiles, and bioavailability differ between these sources, and why total protein intake might actually be the most crucial factor.

I also break down the role of leucine in muscle synthesis and discuss why getting enough of this amino acid is key—no matter where your protein comes from. I

In this week's podcast episode, I dive into the top 10 muscle-building myths I used to believe, and why they were totally wrong.

One of the biggest? The idea that you need to “bulk” to gain muscle—when in fact, you can build muscle at maintenance or even in a slight deficit if you focus on key factors like training intensity and recovery.

I also debunk the myth of “muscle confusion” and explain why constantly changing exercises can actually slow your progress.

Plus, I cover the truth about the anabolic window and why more sets and volume don’t always equal more muscle.
