How's it going, everyone? Welcome back to another episode of the Nutrition Science Podcast. I'm your host,

Dr. Adrian Chavez, and today I have my friend, Dr. Joey Munoz, on the show to talk about the top

three muscle building mistakes to avoid. I've had Dr. Joey on the show before to discuss how to

build muscle. And if you're interested in getting a primer on that topic, I recommend

checking that out. But this episode is going to be extremely helpful for anyone who is currently

lifting weights or planning on getting into some type of resistance training in the future.

Because the mistakes that we discuss on this episode are the primary mistakes that most people make when

getting started and these mistakes are going to hold you back from getting the results that you

want from your training. So if you're currently resistance training or you plan on engaging in

some type of weight training in the future, this episode is going to be extremely helpful.

And I recommend you tune in. So I'm not going to go into any more

detail on that. Let's go ahead and jump into the episode. So, Joey, what are the top three

mistakes that people make that prevent them from building muscle? This is a great question, man.

I think we'll tackle it from both the perspective of nutrition and training. And I have two nutrition or one nutrition related mistake that I see a lot of people make that prevents from building muscle.

And two really big training related mistakes that prevent them from building muscle as well.

As we know, training is important for muscle growth, but nutrition is important as well.

So I think it makes sense to tackle both of these when it comes to big picture mistakes.

First and foremost, from the training side of things. One of the big mistakes I see people make

is that they focus so much on their training program specifically. And they don't necessarily

learn how to train for muscle growth, right? Because your training program, it's important, but the way you actually

work out, I would argue, is even more important. So the number one variable I would talk about here

is intensity, right? Or simply how hard people train when it comes to resistance training. And this is a
