Why You're Losing Muscle While Trying to Lose Fat (And How to Fix It)

Mind Pump breaks down the muscle paradox: why people lose muscle during fat loss despite their efforts. The hosts explain how GLP-1 drugs amplify this problem, identify three root causes (inadequate protein, poor resistance training programming, cardio overemphasis), and discuss testosterone's U-shaped curve for libido. They also cover practical Q&As on adding cardio after years of strength training, under-eating while still getting stronger, physical standards for late 30s/40s, and warm-up strategies.
