Ep 118: Q&A – Macro Splits, Lean Bulking, Hunger, Muscle Over 40, and Aggressive/Rapid Fat Loss
What is the most effective macro split for building muscle? Is it necessary to drink electrolyte mix, or is water enough?
Find out the answers to these questions and more from the free Wits & Weights Facebook community and emails and messages from listeners.
I will tackle your burning questions on the most effective macro splits for muscle building, especially for women in their 40s, and debunk some myths along the way. I discuss the importance of electrolytes versus plain water during workouts and how to navigate hunger when transitioning from maintenance to a bulk. Plus, I get into the specifics of lean bulking and how to set your macros for optimal results.
Then, I am doing a rapid-fire Q&A based on questions from our recent rapid fat loss challenge, covering everything from the impact of high-intensity cardio on muscle growth to the most satiating foods when calories are tight.
