Episode 3444: Dr. Neal Malik explains how to build muscle effectively through a combination of heavy compound lifts, proper recovery, and targeted nutrition. Drawing on exercise science and sports nutrition recommendations, he shares practical strategies for protein intake, carbohydrate consumption, and post-workout timing that can help support strength gains and muscle growth. Quotes to ponder: "After a workout the demand for protein is high which makes it the best time to replenish it." "When you lift heavy you also need a longer break in between sets to recover and regain your strength." "Carbohydrates can help our bodies absorb that leucine rich protein more efficiently."
