220 The Science of Building Strength

Building strength in a safe and sustainable way will get you out of pain.

But how does building strength actually work? And will you immediately "bulk up" like a bodybuilder?

Well, in this brand spanking new episode of the Body Nerd Show, we're diving into the physiology of building strength. Because, if you're anything like me, understanding the WHY behind how something works makes it a lot easier to get excited about it.

You'll learn:

The anatomy of muscles and how they work
How exercise actually builds strength
How to keep building strength without being stuck in the same routine
