We had some internet issues throughout the episode, which led to some not great sound quality and a couple of moments where we froze, so apologies in advance for that. Did the best I could to clean it up . It’s not that bad, and was still a great conversation which matters most, but just wanted to put that out there.

Danielle specializes in hypertrophy training – that means building muscle. Getting bigger and adding muscle to your body is a whole lot of fun, but certainly not easy. There are many different training methods which will lead to hypertrophy but they all follow the same principles, because physiology. Throughout the episode we touched on specific exercises, sets and reps, nutrition, how to execute training sessions, and everything else that goes into adding muscle to your body.

A central part of the discussion was around choosing the best exercises for your goals. Deadlifts are an amazing exercise, but likely not the best for hypertrophy. Bicep curls might be great for hypertrophy, but won’t help your squat. These are neither good or bad. Each exercise has it’s pros and cons for different training goals, and different body structures. Understanding the difference is important to training effectively, and safely.

Putting on muscle is like a cheat code to self confidence, in my opinion. Danielle spoke about her experience entering the gym as someone who was “skinny” and looking to gain some weight and muscle mass. Once the gains starting coming in, her self-confidence also improved; an amazing bonus. And no, she didn’t get “bulky”… we spoke about that, too!

Danielle is an excellent coach and resource for all things hypertrophy training, and you should definitely be following her on IG for all her amazing training content. She also offers workout guides, training app subscriptions, 1 on 1 coaching, and has some awesome lifting grips, all available on her website.
