#46: How to embrace your improvement season & necessary weight gain!
Show Notes

Hey legends,

Just me and a microphone today talking all things weight gain!

In my listener Q&A the other week I received a very important question about how I feel about gaining weight to gain muscle and have been asked often about how to mentally deal with putting on weight. 

Gaining weight is a necessary (and awesome!) part of the whole bodybuilding process and should not be feared! So, I thought I’d spend a bit of time going into it on its very own dedicated podcast.

In this episode I cover off:

  • Why it’s important we talk about this phase of the bodybuilding journey more
  • How and why I moved into a place of acceptance of my weight gain
  • The good the bad and the ugly of gaining weight
  • My top tips on how to manage your gaining phase 

The tips especially have been really instrumental in helping my manage my improvement season so I hope you find them helpful too!
