I created EVLO because as a physical therapist, there was nothing I could recommend that was both

effective and wasn't going to leave my patients exhausted and depleted. We apply the science of

hypertrophy into easy to follow short classes that you can do from home. Each class is taught by a

doctor of physical therapy and they are all brand new each week which keeps you excited about

showing up.

Here's an app review that sums it up. She said I tried CrossFit for three years, but my body

couldn't do it anymore. I was exhausted. Then I tried Pilates during the pandemic and I didn't

really see the results I was looking for. Finally, with EVlo, I see definition of my back and arms

Cancel any time within that period if you find it's not for you. No code needed. Just visit Evel Fitness.com. Welcome to the Dr. Shannon Show, Body Recomposition Capsule.

your body composition isn't just external. It has incredible benefits for your health, energy, mood,

and longevity. I'm your host, Shannon Ritchie. Welcome to the show. Welcome to episode three.

Just because your lifting weights does not mean you're building muscles. So today I want to break

this all down in a super clear, practical way. By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to lift in a way

that truly stimulates muscle growth even if you don't have heavy weights, even if you're tired,

and even if you're short on time. You'll understand mis misconceptions, and you'll know how to

choose the right exercises that actually load the muscle that you're intending to work. So let's start with what true failure actually is.

Mechanical muscle failure is the point at which your muscle cannot produce enough force

to complete another rep with good form, even though you're giving maximal effort.
