We're revisiting one of our most listened-to hypertrophy conversations and it holds up for one simple reason: the lessons were earned the hard way.

After decades under the bar, John and Arash break down what actually moves the needle when it comes to building muscle, and what quietly wastes years of training. From prioritizing compound lifts and progressive overload to steering clear of junk volume, caffeine dependency, and recovery-killing habits, this episode lays out hypertrophy the way it’s meant to be trained: patiently, intelligently, and with intent.

If you want muscle that lasts longer than a training cycle, this one’s worth another listen.
