Summary

In this episode of The Jordan Syatt Mini-Podcast, I have a conversation with my trusty podcast producer, Tony, all about the science of building muscle. I also talk about how people are afraid of adding calories, why strength training is king when it comes to adding muscle, how to know if a strength training plateau is a programming issue or a diet issue, and some common mistakes people make when they decide to add calories to support their muscle growth. I also talk about the Real Life Youtube series with Alyssa where I train and guide her through the process of going through a 30 day mini-cut and give some behind the scenes insights into the psychology of being on-camera for the entire process. Check out the Real Life Youtube Series here! Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub2tWWgbRqQ . Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=119UgFDdLxg .
