Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!
In this solo episode, I dive into Finding the Body Fat Range Where You Feel and Perform Your Best
I walk through healthy body fat ranges for men and women, the real tradeoffs of getting very lean, and why staying shredded year-round can quietly hurt your recovery, hormones, and performance. We talk about how lifestyle, genetics, and training history all play a role in where you feel best. I also explain why building muscle and periodizing your nutrition is almost always the smarter long-term move.
