Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast! In this episode, I break down How to Improve Your Metabolic Flexibility. You’ll hear how metabolic flexibility affects energy, cravings, hunger, and performance especially if you’ve been stuck in a fat loss or muscle-building plateau. Plus, I explain the two “avatars” of metabolic inflexibility (low-carb overtrainers vs. high-carb under-movers), how to know where you fall, and the right strategies to start feeling better and seeing results again. If you’ve been doing all the “right things” but still feel off, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s talk about:<ul><li>Introduction</li><li>Metabolic Flexibility</li><li>Two Avatars</li><li>Consequences of Poor Metabolic Flexibility</li><li>How to Improve Metabolic Flexibility</li></ul> Follow me on Instagram for more information and education: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/jeffhoehn_/?hl=en'>@jeffhoehn_</a> FREE 30 Min Strategy Call: <a href='https://calendly.com/jhfitness1991/30-minute-consult'>HERE</a> Body Recomp Checklist 2.0 <a href='https://chipper-producer-6244.kit.com/26b5c9f94a'>HERE</a> Nutrition Periodization Masterclass: <a href='https://chipper-producer-6244.ck.page/bfc36e560c'>HERE</a> How You Can Work With Me?: <a href='https://jhhealth.net/workwithme/'>HERE</a> Coaching application: <a href='https://forms.gle/hz3qt2Lyf6753FvB7'>HERE</a>

Unpopular Opinion: More Muscle Isn't Always Better | Ep 688

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast! In this solo episode, I’m sharing a New Research: What Actually Builds Muscle and What Doesn’t I walk through what actually drives hypertrophy, why effort and technique beat fancy strategies every time, and why things like the pump, soreness, or even hormonal spikes aren’t as important as we once thought. I also get into what recovery really means, why consistency matters more than perfection, and the rep ranges I’ve come to believe work best for long-term muscle gain especially if you’re training hard but not seeing results. If you’ve been second-guessing your program or feel like you’re doing “all the right things” but not progressing, this episode will help clarify what matters most (and what probably doesn’t). Let’s talk about:<ul><li>Introduction</li><li>Mechanical tension</li><li>Hormonal Spikes, Pump, and Soreness</li><li>Sarcoplasmic vs. Myofibrillar Hypertrophy</li><li>Progressive overload</li><li>Recovery</li><li>Staying consistent long-term</li></ul> Follow me on Instagram for more information and education: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/jeffhoehn_/?hl=en'>@jeffhoehn_</a> FREE 30 Min Strategy Call: <a href='https://calendly.com/jhfitness1991/30-minute-consult'>HERE</a> Body Recomp Checklist 2.0 <a href='https://chipper-producer-6244.kit.com/26b5c9f94a'>HERE</a> Nutrition Periodization Masterclass: <a href='https://chipper-producer-6244.ck.page/bfc36e560c'>HERE</a> How You Can Work With Me?: <a href='https://jhhealth.net/workwithme/'>HERE</a> Coaching application: <a href='https://forms.gle/hz3qt2Lyf6753FvB7'>HERE</a>
