Ever taken a week or two off training and immediately panicked that you've undone everything?
Sick, injured, travelling, or life just got crazy; the fear is always the same: 'oh my god, have I lost all my progress?'
In this episode I walk you through what actually happens to your muscle when you take time off... and why it's nowhere near as dramatic as it feels.
We're talking the real number on how much you lose (spoiler: it's tiny), why you feel weaker than you actually are, and the difference between muscle and the water-and-glycogen 'sponge' that fills right back up.
Plus how to come back without beating yourself up, why maintaining is so much easier than gaining, and the one thing you absolutely should not do if you're stuck on the couch and can't move.
This is your permission slip and your reality check, all in one.
Give it a listen, and let me know which part hit home for you.
