S1E7 - How the Body Grows Muscle, Build Strength, & Loses Body Fat

Summary

In this episode of Strength Talk, Coach Lauren discusses the biological processes involved in muscle building, strength building, and fat loss. She emphasizes the importance of understanding these processes to make informed decisions about training and nutrition. The three key factors in muscle building are muscle tension, muscle damage, and metabolic stress. Strength building involves neurological adaptations, movement efficiency, muscle mass, biomechanics, fatigue and stress, and excitability. Fat loss is achieved through an energy deficit and optimizing metabolism. Coach Lauren also highlights the importance of proper sleep, exercise, movement, and stress management before focusing on fat loss.
