This week's episode is all about—Muscle. Or, more precisely, building muscle. The pursuit of muscle is not just about appearance but about becoming the strongest version of yourself, irrespective of gender. It's about unlocking a whole level of benefits, including increased life expectancy, improved mood, mental health, confidence, and the prevention of injuries. Addressing the pitfalls such as inconsistency because you can't treat the gym like a one-night stand, neglecting progressive overload, and improper nutrition. Your body needs the right fuel, not junk. Protein is your foundation, your building block. It's like the blueprint for muscle construction. I'll be discussing common mistakes in muscle-building, including poor form, inadequate rest, and lack of tracking and planning. Proper hydration, rest days, the importance of sleep and the adverse effects of alcohol on muscle building.

Each week, we're diving headfirst into the absolute circus that is healthy eating—fad diets, myths, and all the fitness nonsense. I'm here to cut through the crap, no sugarcoating, maybe a bit of oversharing, and, unfortunately, the odd bad pun.
