Episode notes
Early Years Were All About Arms
- Adam Schafer recalls spending his early lifting years training arms almost exclusively.
- He attributes early progress to strong mind-muscle connection with arms compared to other body parts.
Prioritize Calories And Protein
- Eat in a calorie surplus and hit ~1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight every day.
- Increase calories by ~500/day as a buffer to support muscle growth.
Make Sleep A Nonnegotiable
- Prioritize consistent good sleep because recovery is when muscle is built.
- Poor sleep is pro-fat and anti-muscle and increases injury risk and muscle loss.
