In the illuminated mind the whole world sparkles with light.

Building muscle. Seems that even with ETP there is still confusion over building vs losing fat. Here are a few key elements to building, fat loss will come alongside as you make diet adjustments however you cannot see muscle you do not have. I think the big mystery is to dig deep into #2. 

1. First, you have to train to stimulate muscle growth.
2. Then you need to eat ample nutrients and raw materials to support that growth.
3. And last but not least, you HAVE to allow recuperation to take place. And that happens with rest, time away from training… and the most important part of recuperation… SLEEP!
