LEAN BUILDING BLUEPRINT: LEAN GAINS SERIES PART 2 | EP. 208
About this episode
In this episode, Brandon DaCruz discusses the importance of a dedicated Lean Building Phase for long-term physique development and muscle growth.
Most people keep trying to diet their way into a better physique. They chase scale weight loss. They bounce from deficit to deficit. And they never build the foundation of muscle that actually creates the look they’re after. So they end up becoming a smaller version of themselves, not a better version of themselves. And this is especially true for the person who describes themselves as “skinny fat” or what I think is more accurately described as being overfat yet under muscled. In this episode of the Chasing Clarity Health & Fitness Podcast, I break down why a dedicated Lean Building Phase is often the missing piece for long-term physique development. We’re going to cover why building muscle changes your shape, improves your metabolism, supports better training performance, and sets you up so your next fat loss phase actually reveals something worth revealing. If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of always trying to get leaner but never looking more muscular or defined, this episode is for you. HERE IS WHAT WE COVER: WHY YOU NEED A LEAN BUILDING PHASE FOR LONG-TERM PHYSIQUE OUTCOMES THE REAL GOAL OF A BUILDING PHASE & WHY MOST PEOPLE EXECUTE IT POORLY WHY YOU CAN’T MAXIMIZE…
