New Study: Do You Really Need a Calorie Surplus to Build Muscle? | Dr. Milo Wolf

Can you build muscle without bulking—and could stored body fat help fuel the process? Dr. Milo Wolf joins me to unpack new research on the energetic cost of building muscle and what it means for losing fat while gaining or preserving muscle, even for experienced lifters. We discuss: • Why a calorie surplus may not be necessary for muscle growth. • His protein recommendations for body recomposition. • Balancing fat loss with muscle retention and recovery. • How little resistance training can still produce results. • Using lengthened partials, supersets, and drop sets to make workouts more efficient.
