Welcome back to the Bodcast! Off the back of the last episode on the foundations of fat loss, I am bringing you another exclusive piece of coaching content straight from the EC Method. This week, we are diving deep into the exact methods of muscle building. Whether you are chasing that "toned" aesthetic or looking to bulletproof your body against aging, this episode breaks down exactly what you need to do to get there.

In this episode I cover:

Why We Build Muscle: It is not just about getting that "toned" aesthetic. Muscle mass is absolutely crucial for your metabolic health, bone density, longevity, and mental well-being.

The Training Stimulus: Why lifting free weights or using resistance machines is the ultimate way to trigger growth. I explain why beginners need to prioritize full-body compound lifts 2 to 3 times a week.

Protein & Calories: You need 1.6g to 2g of protein per kg of body weight to build new tissue. Plus, I bust the massive myth that you must be in a calorie surplus to grow muscle.

The Reality of Recovery: Muscle is built while you rest, not while you lift. Prioritizing sleep and scheduling proper rest days are non-negotiable.

Patience & Timelines: The hard truth about how slow muscle growth actually is (especially for women) and what realistic progress looks like over your first 6 to 12 months.

Just a quick reminder: we have a new intake of clients for the EC Method starting on June 15th! Head over to theecmethod.co.uk to secure your spot.
