34 Minute Listen

But choose wisely, for while the true Grail will bring life, the false Grail will take it from your muscles.

The Holy Grail of workout goals is a myth! To lose fat, your body needs to be in a caloric deficit so your body uses fats for fuels. Caloric surplus is needed to gain muscle to provide the energy your body requires to build bigger muscles. Many on this quest hit a crossroads when down one path the body needs more calories for muscles and the other leads down a dark and lonely road of caloric deficit! X marks the spot is this muscle building crusade as John and Tex take you on a treasure hunt finding the keys to unlocking how you can lose fat while training hard for long lost muscle gains!
