In this episode of Smarter Strength Training, I talk about bulking up. It's a fear that many women have when starting to strength train. But what does it take to add a significant amount of muscle?

Topics in this episode are:

- The two types of hypertrophy (muscle tissue)

- How is muscle built?

- What is mechanical tension & metabolic stress

- How recovery and nutrition feature in hypertrophy

- How is strength training different to training for hypertrophy?

- How would you train to try and not to build muscle?

I hope you enjoy the episode. If you want me to answer your questions, ask them in my weekly Q&A on Instagram.
