Build Muscle First, Lose Fat Later: A Proven Plan for Menopause | The Men of Mind Pump

I sat down with Sal, Adam, and Justin of Mind Pump in their studio, and I brought questions from my Menopause Rebellion community. 

These guys spent years training middle-aged women before they ever picked up a mic, and it shows. We get into why building muscle comes before cutting calories, why your boot camp style training habit might be working against you, and why the rest between sets matters as much as the lift itself.

Topics Discussed:

→ Why you should build muscle before trying to lose fat

→ Reverse dieting: eating more to set up a sustainable cut later

→ "Cortisol junkies" and why more cardio can backfire in midlife

→ Why rest periods are what make strength training work

→ The skinny-arms, no-glutes trend and why it worries me.

→ When and what to eat around workouts

→ Why hiring a coach may be the best money you'll spend
