Summary

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I break down seven signs your body is building muscle that most people completely misread — things like being hot at night, feeling starving after meals, hitting a wall of fatigue at 2pm, and watching the scale refuse to move. I walk through why each of these signals actually means your body is doing its job, not that something's wrong, and why understanding them can keep you from quitting right before you see real change.

one that almost nobody connects to building muscle, and it happens at night in bed. You're trying

0:35.6

to fall asleep, and you're burning up.

0:39.6

You kick the covers off, but then five minutes later, you're cold, so you put them back on,

0:43.9

and then you do the thing where, like, you put your feet out, and you're thinking, like,

0:47.2

is my thyroid off?

0:48.7

Am I getting sick?

0:50.1

Why am I so hot and sweating?

0:53.0

The flames will go out an hour later, but the bricks?

1:14.5

Long after your workout is over, your body is still hot from the inside out, doing the work

1:22.1

of repairing your muscles that you just tore down in your workout. And this was happening to one of our clients,

1:29.1

Victor, who had never lifted weights before he signed up for coaching with us. And as he started to get a few
